| Annotation | This Korean study examined how older adults' living arrangements and poverty status affected their use of in-home health, functional and out-of-home services over time. Using eight waves of data from the Korea Welfare Panel Study, the authors employed a logistic mixed-effect model to analyse how poverty and living arrangements affected community-based service use. Older adults living alone and older couples were more likely than co-residing households to use services. Older couples, when poor, were more likely to use in-home and out-of-home services over time. Understanding predictors of community-based service use over time enables researchers and policymakers to better understand the process of ageing in place. (JL). |
