This study compared urban and rural factors associated with life satisfaction among older adults in mainland China.
Study data were extracted at random from 10% of the Sample Survey on Aged Population in urban/rural China in 2006 for 1980 participants aged 60 and older, including 997 from urban cities and 983 from rural villages.
In this study, 54.6% of urban older adults and 44.1% of rural older adults reported satisfaction with their lives. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that financial strain, depressive symptoms, filial piety, and accessibility of health services were significantly associated with life satisfaction for both urban and rural participants, but age and financial exchange with children were only associated with life satisfaction among urban older adults.
Findings are consistent with some previous studies that indicated the importance of financial strain, depressive symptoms, filial piety, and accessibility of health services to life satisfaction among the older adults in both urban and rural areas. This study also demonstrated the importance of age and family financial exchange to the life satisfaction of urban older adults.
本研究比较了中国大陆老年人生活满意度的城乡相关因素。
研究数据随机抽取自2006年中国城乡老年人口抽样调查样本的10%，共1980名60岁及以上参与者，其中997名来自城市，983名来自农村。
在本研究中，54.6%的城市老年人和44.1%的农村老年人表示对生活满意。二元逻辑回归分析表明，经济压力、抑郁症状、孝道以及医疗服务可及性对城乡参与者的生活满意度均有显著影响，但年龄和与子女的经济往来仅与城市老年人的生活满意度相关。
研究结果与之前的一些研究一致，这些研究表明经济压力、抑郁症状、孝道以及医疗服务可及性对城乡老年人生活满意度的重要性。本研究还证明了年龄和家庭经济往来对城市老年人生活满意度的重要性。
