摘要: 以往对老年人健康水平及其不平等现象的研究多从个体社会地位、关系网络的角度展开,较少关注外在于个体的宏观社会结构、社会资源因素可能引发的健康风险与潜在的健康不平等问题。本文利用clds2014年的数据拟合多层次模型,考察个人社会经济地位、社区社会结构和社会资本对老年人健康水平与不平等现象的影响机制。研究发现:不同社会经济特征的老年人在健康水平上存在明显的差异;社区特征对老年人健康水平存在着独立于个人因素的整体性影响,并对老年人健康不平等现象产生弱化与强化两种调节机制。(1)社区阶层异质性的分化程度会影响健康水平。其中,社区社会经济地位会弱化健康不平等,而社区内部阶层异质性则会强化健康不平等。(2)社区社会资本的培育能够显著提升老年人的健康水平并弱化健康不平等。因此,健康中国战略的实施要着眼于中国的健康分层现象,采取社区层面的健康干预,尽可能地增加弱势群体的健康资本。

Abstract: Previous research on the health status and inequality among older adults has often focused on individual social status and relational networks, while paying less attention to the potential health risks and disparities stemming from macro-level social structures and social resource factors external to the individual. This study utilizes data from the CLDS2014 to fit a multilevel model to investigate the influence mechanism of individual socioeconomi. The research findings indicate that older adults with different socioeconomic characteristics exhibit significant disparities in health status. Community characteristics exert a holistic influence on the health status of older adults independent of individual factors and give rise to two types of regulatory mechanisms that either weaken or strengthen health inequalities among older adults. (1) The degree of community class heterogeneity will affect the health level. The community socioeconomic status will weaken the health inequality, and the class heterogeneity within the community will strengthen the health inequality.(2) Cultivating community social capital significantly enhances the health status of older adults and mitigates health inequalities. Therefore, the implementation of the Healthy China strategy should focus on the hierarchical health disparities in China, adopt health interventions at the community level, and endeavor to increase the health capital of vulnerable groups as much as possible.

Key words: community class heterogeneity, community social capital, socioeconomic status, health inequality
