Family Typology and Six-Year All-Cause Mortality among U.S. Chinese Older Adults.

In this longitudinal cohort study with a six-year follow-up, older adults nested in the detached family type had higher six-year mortality risks than those nested in the tight-knit family type. Living in the commanding-conflicted family increased the six-year mortality risks for older adults with physical impairment or cognitive impairment compared with their counterparts residing in the tight-knit family type.
