Abstract

Objectives: The main aim of the article is to indicate how selected socioeconomic factors contribute to the selected characteristics of the subjectively perceived health of seniors 65+ living in the Czech Republic.

Methods: Data collection took place in the Czech Republic from 27 January 2020 to 14 February 2020. The total number of interviews carried out in the research was 1,172, from a representative quota sample of seniors from the senior population living in the Czech Republic. Questionnaires were distributed in the form of PAPI interviews.

Results: The assessment of subjective social status increases with education and employment (these three aspects are closely linked), and the assessment transferred to the senior years.

Conclusion: The accumulation of advantages and disadvantages should encourage the Government of the Czech Republic, as well as other European states, to focus on those who, based on their low levels of education and social status, have very low assessments of their subjective health. Prevention (in both health and social fields), which includes access to information and the subsequent better life decisions, must be implemented throughout a person's lifetime (so as to reduce the disadvantages that accumulate from the cradle to the grave).

社会经济不平等及其对老年人健康的影响。

目的：这篇文章的主要目的是指出选定的社会经济因素如何对居住在捷克共和国的65岁以上老年人主观感知健康的选定特征作出贡献。方法：于2020年1月27日至2020年2月14日在捷克共和国收集数据。在研究中进行的访谈总数为1172人，来自生活在捷克共和国的老年人人口的代表性配额样本。问卷以PAPI访谈的形式分发。结果：主观社会地位的评价随着受教育程度和就业程度的增加而增加（这三个方面密切相关），并向高年级转移。结论：优势和劣势的积累应该鼓励捷克共和国政府以及其他欧洲国家把重点放在那些由于受教育程度低和社会地位低而对自己的主观健康评价很低的人身上。预防（在保健和社会领域），包括获得信息和随后作出更好的生活决定，必须贯穿人的一生（以减少从摇篮到坟墓积累的不利因素）。
