The presence of extended family members &amp; proximity to children reduces the complete dependence on children for care.

After adjusting for age, sex, education, and work, those with urban-urban-rural and rural-urban-urban transitions reported higher odds of multimorbidity than consistent rural dwellers, though these became insignificant when further covariates were considered. However, consistent urban dwellers and those with rural-rural-urban transitions continued to show significantly higher odds of multimorbidity than counterparts who only ever lived in rural settings.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Older Indians with consistent urban residence and later-life rural-to-urban transitions were more likely to report multimorbidity than rural dwellers. Moreover, this association varied by gender, with childhood and adulthood urban residence linked to higher risk of multimorbidity only among men.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100119,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics Plus","volume":"2 4","pages":"Article 100211"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145265352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
