Johnson, Colleen L.; Troll, Lillian
Journal of Marriage and the Family, v58 n1 p178-87 Feb 1996
Using a cross-sectional analysis of 250 white individuals, 70-103 years of age, this article questions whether a vertical family structure is found with increasing age. Findings indicate, among other things, that at least until age 90 the proportion of individuals with a vertical family structure with four generations never exceeds the numbers of those with no descendants. Discusses other findings. (KW)
