Intergenerational coresidence is at a 30-year high. Studies find that economic, familial, and demographic factors shape the likelihood of this arrangement. We use NLSY79 and NLSY79YA data (2000-2014; = 3,092) to examine how the mental health and substance use of both adult children and their mothers matter for coresidential biographies, estimating risks of moving out of and returning to their mothers' households. Adult children who drink, smoke, or have more depressive symptoms, or whose mothers drink or smoke, are more likely to leave their mother's household; adult children with more depressive symptoms and who smoke are more likely to return. Our findings show that children's and mothers' health are key determinants of coresidential patterns, suggesting that it is not just family arrangements that impact health but health that impacts family arrangements. As intergenerational coresidence increases, researchers should continue to look beyond economic, familial, and demographic determinants of coresidence to health dynamics.
代际共同居住率处于30年来的最高水平。研究发现，经济、家庭和人口因素决定了这种居住安排的可能性。我们使用“全国青年纵向调查1979年队列”（NLSY79）和“全国青年纵向调查1979年青年成人队列”（NLSY79YA）的数据（2000 - 2014年；样本量 = 3092）来研究成年子女及其母亲的心理健康和物质使用情况如何影响共同居住经历，估计搬出和回到母亲家的风险。饮酒、吸烟或有更多抑郁症状的成年子女，或者其母亲饮酒或吸烟的成年子女，更有可能离开母亲家；有更多抑郁症状且吸烟的成年子女更有可能返回。我们的研究结果表明，子女和母亲的健康是共同居住模式的关键决定因素，这表明不仅家庭安排会影响健康，健康也会影响家庭安排。随着代际共同居住情况的增加，研究人员应继续超越共同居住的经济、家庭和人口决定因素，关注健康动态。
