Experiences of aging in place in the United States: protocol for a systematic review and meta-ethnography of qualitative studies
By 2035, older adults will outnumber children for the first time in the United States.

Housing equity withdrawal: Perceptions of obstacles among older Australian home owners and associated service providers
