The influence of the new rural cooperative medicalsystem on the health status of the middle-aged and elderly people in rural China

研究新型农村合作医疗(简称"新农合")制度对我国农村中老年人健康状况的影响,对于了解新农合政策实施效果及探究我国农村中老年健康状态影响因素具有重要意义。本研究采用CHNS数据库中2000年与2006年的面板数据,以四周患病率与自评健康状态为衡量健康状况的指标,结合DID模型与Logit模型实证分析新农合政策的实施能否对我国农村中老年人群健康状况产生的影响,并分析其他因素的影响。另外,单独分析中年群体的状况,比较中年群体与老年群体健康状况影响因素的差别,分析新农合对农村中老年群体的影响差异。结果发现,新农合的实施降低了农村中老年人的四周患病率与农村中老年人对自身健康状况的满意度,总体上提高了农村中老年人的健康状态。通过对比分析农村中年人与老年人群体,说明农村老年人群体的健康状态对新农合实施政策的依赖性更大。

To study the effect of the new rural cooperative medical system on the health status of the rural middle-aged and elderly people in rural areas.In this paper, the panel data of CHNS database in 2000 and 2006 were used to measure the health status of the four-week prevalence and self-rated health status.The DID model and Logit model were used to analyze the implementation of the new rural cooperative medical policy.In addition,the status of middle-aged groups was analyzed separately,and the difference of influencing factors between middle-aged and old-age groups was compared to analyze the difference.The results showed that the implementation of the new rural cooperative medical system reduces the prevalence of the elderly in rural areas and rural middle-aged people on their own health status satisfaction, in general, improving the health of the elderly in rural areas.Through comparative analysis of rural middle-aged People and the elderly groups,it indicates that the health status of rural elderly groups is more dependent on the implementation of new rural cooperative policy.
