Objective

To investigate the impact of intergenerational support on cognitive function among the elderly in China.

Methods

Data from the 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were utilized, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 27.0. Both univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted to assess the effects of intergenerational support on the cognitive function of individuals aged 60 and above.

Results

A total of 4 154 participants were included in the study. The findings indicated a positive correlation between cognitive function in the elderly and both bidirectional economic support from children and emotional comfort provided by them. However, the frequency of interaction between the elderly and their children did not show a statistically significant difference in cognitive function scores. The multiple linear regression model equation was as the following: Cognitive function score = 31.003 + 1.138 * log (child economic support) + 0.996 * log (parental economic support) - 0.173 * age - 12.939 * [education = no formal education (illiterate)] - 5.578 *(education = primary school or informal education) + 1.137 * (marital status = married) + 1.118 * (pension insurance = yes) +3.276 * (social health insurance = yes) - 3.541 * (daily living ability impaired = yes).

Conclusion

It is essential to maintain communication and interaction between generations. Communities and the government should integrate intergenerational support into preventive health care and elderly care policies as a robust support for “healthy aging”.
