RESUMEN

Objective: This article examines how parent-child geographic proximity changes around the onset of parental health shocks in the United States. Differences in the likelihood of moving closer across social groups are also investigated. Background: Adult children often care for older parents with health problems, but this requires relatively close proximity. As families are becoming smaller and many adult children live away from their parents, it is unclear how responsive families will be to older adults' health problems. Method: We estimate a series of fixed effects and event study models on data from the Health and Retirement Study (2004-2018) to assess changes in parent-child proximity after parents' first onset of cognitive impairment and functional limitations. Results: We find robust evidence that parents and children tend to stay close or move closer to each other in response to parent's health declines. Moves occur immediately and in subsequent waves after the onset of health shocks. Reductions in parent-child distance are consistently larger among mother-daughter dyads, dyads without spouses or multiple children, and non-Hispanic white families. Conclusion: The geographic availability of adult children to provide care is responsive to parents' needs. After the onset of a serious health condition, most older adults have a spouse or child living close enough to provide care. Parents' and children's lives are dynamically linked, and either or both may relocate to facilitate care.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Older adults rely on personal networks for different types of support. Given shifts in family composition in later adulthood, more work is needed to map network members who can provide multiple aspects of support and the implications for older adults. We explore the phenomenon of having the same network members as both a confidant and a caregiver (multiplexity) and its implications for the well-being of older adults. METHODS: Using the 2011 National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), we describe the prevalence of having someone as both a confidant and a caregiver (henceforth "multiplex helper") for older adults and examine its association with subjective well-being. We also investigate the differences by having whom as multiplex helpers. RESULTS: About three-quarters (76%) of older adults with at least one confidant and one caregiver have at least one multiplex helper. Partnered older adults are more likely to have any multiplex helpers than unpartnered counterparts and usually nominate their partner as a multiplex helper, whereas the unpartnered are more likely to rely on their children to serve multiple roles, especially for widowed older adults. Having a multiplex helper is associated with better subjective well-being. DISCUSSION: Network multiplexity is prevalent and positively associated with the subjective well-being of older adults who have at least one confidant and one caregiver, above and beyond having any confidants or caregivers separately. The baseline patterns established in this study lay the groundwork for future research to further explore support dynamics in older adults' networks.

RESUMEN

Despite the large number of dicarboxylates' receptors, the dual channel ones capable of recognizing and removing of phthalate anion are rare and the task remains challenging. In this paper, a facilely synthesized amphiphilic macrocyclic acylhydrazone dimer (AMAD) can not only detect phthalate anion selectively, through both color changes and turn-on fluorescence in solution as well as in solid state, but is also able to remove it from either water or organic solvents. The current study paves the way for the search of more multiple functional receptors of dicarboxylates anions.
