Abstract

Summary: Many countries face an increasingly aging population, but China is now home to the largest population of older people in the world. This study aims to analyze health-related factors influencing fears of aging among elderly Chinese citizens. Multiple regression models were constructed using fears of aging as the dependent variable and demographics and other key components as independent variables, respectively. Results showed that individuals with a chronic disease had more fears of aging than those without a chronic disease. Individuals with a higher personal annual income had less fears of aging. Individuals who were less worried about the lack of timely treatment and unaffordable medical expenses had less fears of aging.

摘要：许多国家都面临着日益严重的人口老龄化问题，而中国是目前世界上老年人口最多的国家。本研究旨在分析影响中国老年人对衰老恐惧的健康相关因素。研究以 "老龄化恐惧 "为因变量，人口统计学和其他关键因素分别为自变量，构建了多元回归模型。结果显示，患有慢性疾病的人比没有慢性疾病的人更害怕衰老。个人年收入较高的人对衰老的恐惧程度较低。较少担心得不到及时治疗和负担不起医疗费用的人对老龄化的恐惧程度较低。
