Abstract

BACKGROUND

Many factors influence housing choices among older adults, but far from all have been identified. There is little systematic analysis that has included economic factors and virtually no knowledge about the interplay among perceived costs of moving, health status, and the mobility rate of older homeowners. It is currently unclear whether economic factors influence older adults' willingness to move, and the effects of economic policies on their actual behavior in the housing market are largely unknown.

OBJECTIVE

The overarching objective of the AGE-HERE project is to develop knowledge of the relationship between health and economic factors that incentivize or disincentivize relocation during the process of aging.

METHODS

This project uses a mixed methods convergent design across 4 studies. The initial quantitative register study and subsequent qualitative focus group study will nurture the evidence base and the development of a national survey. The final study will synthesize and integrate the results of the entire project.

RESULTS

Ethical approval for the register study (DNR 2022-04626-01) and focus group study (DNR 2023-01887-01) has been obtained. As of July 2023, data analyses (register study) and data collection (focus group study) are currently being conducted. The first paper based on the register data is expected to be submitted after the summer of 2023. Three meetings have been held with the nonacademic reference group. The qualitative data will be analyzed in the autumn. Based on the results of these studies, a survey questionnaire will be developed and distributed nationally during the spring of 2024, followed by data analyses in the autumn. Finally, the results from all studies will be synthesized in 2025.

CONCLUSIONS

Results from AGE-HERE will add to the knowledge base for research on aging, health, and housing and can play a critical role in guiding future policy decisions aiming to balance the housing market. Such developments may lower related social costs and support older adults to maintain active, independent, and healthy lives.

摘要

背景

许多因素影响老年人的住房选择，但远非所有因素都已被识别。几乎没有系统分析纳入经济因素，而且对于老年房主感知的搬迁成本、健康状况和流动率之间的相互作用几乎一无所知。目前尚不清楚经济因素是否会影响老年人的搬迁意愿，经济政策对他们在住房市场实际行为的影响在很大程度上也不为人知。

目的

“AGE-HERE项目”的总体目标是深入了解在老龄化过程中激励或抑制搬迁的健康与经济因素之间的关系。

方法

该项目在4项研究中采用了混合方法收敛设计。最初的定量登记研究和随后的定性焦点小组研究将培育证据基础并推动全国性调查的开展。最终研究将综合整合整个项目的结果。

结果

已获得登记研究（DNR 2022-04626-01）和焦点小组研究（DNR 2023-01887-01）的伦理批准。截至2023年7月，数据分析（登记研究）和数据收集（焦点小组研究）正在进行。基于登记数据的第一篇论文预计在2023年夏季之后提交。已与非学术参考小组举行了3次会议。定性数据将在秋季进行分析。基于这些研究的结果，将于2024年春季制定调查问卷并在全国范围内分发，随后在秋季进行数据分析。最后，所有研究的结果将在2025年进行综合。
