Title:

Trajectories of financial prosperity in older adults: Insights from ELSA 

Abstract:

Understanding the relationship between individuals’ financial circumstance and health has become topical in recent years. Studies suggest that financially deprived older adults tend to suffer more health challenges than their age-matched wealthier counterparts. Our goal is to understand how the trajectories of financial circumstance and frailty, a measure of health deficits, interact in older adults. In this talk, I will present preliminary findings from trajectory clustering of individuals’ income using the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) dataset, and growth mixture modelling.
