| Annotation | The health implications of multigenerational co-residence for older adults is a well-researched topic in the ageing literature. Much less is known of its impact for women in midlife. The authors used data from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Study (CLHNS, 2002, 2005, 2007, and 2012) to study the influence of transitions in multigenerational household composition on depressive symptoms for Filipino women in midlife transitioning into old age. The initial analysis showed little effect when the authors used the conventional classification of nuclear versus extended family and transition in and out of the extended family. When they described shifts in the family environment by compositional changes - that is, change in the presence and absence of particular family members - they found significant associations between depressive symptoms and two types of role transitions: the loss of a spouse in the household; and grandchildren's entry to and exit from the household.
