The aging population conundrum and the gradual weakening of older adults' health and ability to obtain resources as they age have drawn attention to this population's health. Older adults' health relates not only to their own quality of life, but also to the development of families/society.
We analyzed micro data from the 2011 and 2015 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study Follow-up Questionnaire, using the probit model, ordinary least squares model, and other methods.
Both formal and informal social support significantly impacted the physical and mental health of Chinese older adults, and the community environment moderated this relationship. To build a reasonable and effective social support system for older adults and improve their health, we suggest that stakeholders should continue to strengthen the formal and informal social support provided to older adults; they should also build a community-based care system, which will allow for the moderating role of community environment on the relationship between social support and older adults' health. Family and social support factors are important for older adults' health. We should enable the moderating role of community environment on the relationship between social support and health to be fully exerted, as well as build a community-based pension system.
人口老龄化问题以及老年人随着年龄的增长健康状况和获取资源能力逐渐减弱，引起了人们对这一人群健康的关注。老年人的健康不仅关系到他们自己的生活质量，也关系到家庭/社会的发展。
我们分析了中国健康与退休纵向研究 2011 年和 2015 年随访问卷的微观数据，使用概率单位模型、普通最小二乘法等方法。
正式和非正式的社会支持都显著影响了中国老年人的身心健康，而社区环境则调节了这种关系。为了为老年人建立合理有效的社会支持体系，提高他们的健康水平，建议利益相关者继续加强对老年人的正式和非正式社会支持；还应建立社区为基础的护理系统，这将使社区环境对社会支持与老年人健康之间关系的调节作用得以充分发挥，并建立以社区为基础的养老金制度。家庭和社会支持因素对老年人的健康很重要。我们应该充分发挥社区环境对社会支持与健康之间关系的调节作用，并建立社区为基础的养老金体系。
