We hypothesized that social participation would be more likely among older adults who have good health, but are heavily dependent upon their families for socialization. Older adults would be more likely to actively participate when other family members would be involved as well, signifying an intergenerational transmission of participation in associations.
Las personas que vivían en hogares en los cuales existen miembros que participaban tendrían mayores probabilidades de participar en asociaciones sociales. Asimismo, existiría una transmisión intergeneracional del tipo de participación social.
