| Annotation | The relationships between received support, anticipated support, social class, and mortality was examined in this US study. Anticipated support is defined as the belief than significant others will provide assistance in the future should the need arise. Data was drawn from the Health and Lifestyle Survey, a prospective nationwide survey of older adults. Findings indicated that greater received support was associated with increased mortality risk. However, the findings further revealed that anticipated support was associated with with lower mortality risk, but these beneficial effects were evident only in the upper social classes. The analyses suggest that there may be a relationship between these dimensions of support and anticipated support, although this may vary by social class. (AKM). |
