flag Moving within the U.S. linked to lower disability risk in older adults, even after accounting for education.

flag A new study of 5.4 million older Americans finds that those who moved to a different state within the U.S. had up to 22% lower odds of disability in later life compared to those who stayed in their birth state. flag The research, published October 15, 2025, linked internal migration to reduced risks of vision and hearing loss, cognitive decline, and mobility issues. flag While education influenced both migration and health, the health advantage persisted after accounting for it, suggesting healthier individuals may be more likely to move due to greater resilience. flag Immigrants from abroad showed an even stronger health benefit, likely due to rigorous migration barriers. flag Researchers suggest moving may reflect personal agency and long-term well-being.
