There remain distinct regional and urban-rural health status disparities amidst the background of China's rapid economic growth, posing important challenges to policymakers. The objectives of this study are to examine the relationships between socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and health status and to compare the effect disparities in eastern, central, and western regions, urban and rural areas of China.
This paper employed data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) conducted in 2015. In addition, ordered probit model was adopted to explore the impacts of socioeconomic status and lifestyle on health status of residents.
The results indicate that socioeconomic status factors, including income and social class, show statistically significant and positive correlation to health status. Furthermore, lifestyle factors, for example physical exercise and friend interaction, are statistically significant and positively related to health status. Moreover, the effect of lifestyle on health status in eastern, central, and western regions varies greatly. Finally, marital status, education, physical exercise, and friend interaction exhibit statistically disparate effects on health status in both urban and rural areas.
The study shows that socioeconomic status and lifestyle have significant effects on resident's health status, and the effects show significant regional and urban-rural disparities.
在中国经济快速增长的背景下，仍存在明显的地区和城乡健康状况差距，这给政策制定者带来了重要挑战。本研究的目的是检验社会经济地位、生活方式和健康状况之间的关系，并比较中国东部、中部和西部地区以及城乡地区的影响差异。
本文使用了 2015 年进行的中国综合社会调查（CGSS）的数据。此外，采用有序概率模型来探讨社会经济地位和生活方式对居民健康状况的影响。
结果表明，社会经济地位因素，包括收入和社会阶层，与健康状况呈显著正相关。此外，生活方式因素，如体育锻炼和朋友互动，与健康状况呈显著正相关。而且，生活方式对东部、中部和西部地区健康状况的影响差异很大。最后，婚姻状况、教育、体育锻炼和朋友互动对城乡居民的健康状况有显著不同的影响。
本研究表明，社会经济地位和生活方式对居民的健康状况有显著影响，而且这种影响存在显著的地区和城乡差异。
