The impact of being the intermediate caring generation and intergenerational transfers on self-reported health of women in Ireland

Objectives: To investigate the associations with being the “sandwich generation” in older women in Ireland and its impact on self-reported health.

Methods: Analysis of 3,196 women from wave 1 of the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) was undertaken. Poisson regression was used to determine whether intergenerational transfers, were associated with self-rated physical health and depression, when controlling for other socio-demographic variables.
