居住安排对老年人自评生活质量的影响:基于“状态——变化”的分析视角

The effect of living arrangement on self-reportecd quality of life in elderly:An analysis based on the perspective of“status-change”

文章使用2008—2018年中国老年健康影响因素跟踪调查的四期面板数据,利用时间固定效应模型,分析不同居住安排状态及其变化对老年人自评生活质量产生的影响。研究发现,相较于独居老年人,与他人同住的老年人自评生活质量更高,而在各同住情形中,仅与子女同住的老年人自评生活质量最高。居住安排变化同样会影响老年人自评生活质量,相较于始终同住的老年人,始终独居与先同住后独居的老年人自评生活质量通常会更低,但先独居后同住却并不会对其自评生活质量产生显著影响。基于此,为进一步提高老年人的整体生活质量,文章认为应重点加强对空巢、独居老年人的生活关照,同时努力为老年人营造出舒适且稳定的居住条件。

Based on the panel data of four waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey from 2008 to 2018,the paper analyzed the influence of different living arrangements status and their changes on the self-reported quality of life in elderly by using the time-fixed effect model.The study found that compared to the elderly living alone,those living with others report higher living quality,while among the different living situation,the elderly living only with their children report their living quality the highest.Living arrangement change also affect the self-reported quality of life in elderly.Compared with the elderly who always live with others,the elderly who always live alone and live with others before living alone are generally lower in their self-rated living quality,but living alone before living with others does not have a significant impact on their self-reported quality of life.Therefore,in order to further improve the overall living quality of the elderly,the paper argues that we should focus on strengthening the life care of the empty-nester elderly and the elderly living alone,and we should also strive to create comfortable and stable living conditions for the elderly.
