Abstract

Objectives. How geriatric care models impact the health-related behaviors of the elderly and the function of social support within this context. Methods. We conducted binary logistic regression and PSM-DID analyses using data from the China Tracking Survey of Factors Influencing Elderly Health (CLHLS) and the China Health and Aging Tracking Survey (CHARLS). Results. Compared to living alone, other aging models negatively affected health behaviors. In the living with family model, parental intergenerational support attenuated these effects, while children’s financial support reduced negative impacts on health-protective behaviors. In the institutional model, negative effects on health-hazardous behaviors were exacerbated by emotional and social support. Loneliness and a lack of self-worth were crucial pathways. Discussion. Governments should offer public services to alleviate the intergenerational support burden on older individuals and strengthen social support for them.

老年人与健康有关的行为：对老年学护理模式和社会支持作用的全面调查

目标。老年护理模式如何影响老年人与健康有关的行为，以及在此背景下社会支持的作用。方法。我们利用中国老年人健康影响因素追踪调查（CLHLS）和中国健康与养老追踪调查（CHARLS）的数据进行了二元逻辑回归和 PSM-DID 分析。结果显示与独居相比，其他养老模式会对健康行为产生负面影响。在与家人同住的模式中，父母的代际支持减轻了这些影响，而子女的经济支持则减少了对健康保护行为的负面影响。在机构养老模式中，情感和社会支持加剧了对危害健康行为的负面影响。孤独感和自我价值感的缺失是关键因素。讨论。政府应提供公共服务，减轻老年人的代际支持负担，加强对老年人的社会支持。
