Abstract

WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: The proportion of elderly living alone in China is approximately 10%. Living away from family poses enormous challenges for older adults.

WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: Compared to those living with family, elderly individuals living alone exhibit a lower registration rate with general practitioners and have less social support.

WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: While the current health service system for elderly people living alone is working relatively well, there is a need for additional programs to enhance social support and improve their social well-being.

摘要

关于该主题已知的信息有哪些？：中国独居老年人的比例约为10%。与家人分开居住给老年人带来了巨大挑战。

对公共卫生实践有哪些启示？：虽然目前针对独居老年人的卫生服务系统运行相对良好，但仍需要额外的项目来加强社会支持并改善他们的社会福祉。
