区域经济发展影响居民长寿水平的实证研究——以山东省为例

Empirical Study on the Effects of Regional Economic Development on the Level of Residents' Longevity:With the Case Shandong Province As an Example

健康长寿是人类社会共同的理想和追求。经济发展是影响居民长寿水平的重要因素。应用聚类、变异系数、相关和回归分析等定量方法分析山东省经济发展对居民长寿水平的影响,结果发现:经济发展水平是居民长寿的物质基础;经济发展水平和居民长寿水平呈正相关性,而且不同地域尺度上二者间正相关性的强弱不同,地域尺度越大,正相关性越强,反之越弱;经济发展水平更大程度上影响的是中低老龄人口的数量和比重,到了高龄老年人口阶段,经济因素影响作用下降。

A long life with good health is a common ideal and pursuit of human society. Economic devel- opment is an important factor to influence the level of the residents＇longevity. With Shandong province as a case, a series of quantitative methods such as cluster analysis, coefficient of variation, correlation and regression analysis have been applied to the study on the effects of economic development on the level of the residents＇longevity. The results show that, （1） economic development level is the material base to their longevity; （2） economic development level and longevity are positively correlated and the degree of correlation depends on the region scale, that is, the larger the region scale, the stronger the positive cor- relation; （3） to a greater degree, economic development level influences the quantity and proportion of middle and low ageing people, whereas its influence decreases in case of senile ageing people.
