What is Decomposition analysis of health inequalities between the urban and rural oldest-old populations in China: Evidence from a national survey about?
The number of Chinese oldest-old (aged 80+) is growing rapidly and some studies have shown that the health status is unequal among older persons in different regions. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study to date has analyzed health inequalities among the oldest-old in urban and rural areas in China. This study therefore aimed to examine the correlation between health inequalities among the oldest-old in urban and rural areas of China. From the 8th wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Health Longevity Survey (CLHLS), we selected 8124 oldest-old participants who met the requirements of the study. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the distribution characteristics of indicators and a logistic model was performed to determine the factors associated with different self-rated health (SRH). The Fairlie model was adopted to decompose the causes and related contributions to health inequality. Our results found that of the Chinese oldest-old, 46.57% were in good health. Urban residents reported significantly better SRH than rural residents (50.17% vs. 45.13%). Variables associated with good and poor SRH had different distribution characteristics. The logistic model suggested that m
