Abstract

Based on the 2018 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data, a generalized ordinal logistic regression model was used to analyze the impact of social support on self-rated health in the elderly. The empirical results show that, in general, social support has a significant impact on the self-rated health of the elderly; there are differences in the impact of social support on the self-rated health of the urban and rural elderly: informal social support has a significant impact on the health of the rural elderly, and Elderly health was not significantly affected. Institutional support in formal social support has no significant effect on the health of the rural elderly, but has a significant impact on the health of the urban elderly at the 0.01 level. At the same time, the self-assessed health value of the elderly in the sample is low, so this situation should be improved by increasing the level of social support for the elderly in urban and rural areas.
