Abstract

Based on the 2017 National Dynamic Monitoring and Survey of Floating Population, this paper makes a quantitative analysis on the influencing factors of elderly migrants’ self-rated health by means of binary logistic regression model. Results suggest that: first, elderly migrants who are male, well-educated and young in age and have a non-agricultural household are more likely to have a better self-rated health; second, the health status of inter-provincial elderly migrants is significantly better than that of intra-provincial elderly migrants, which conforms to the hypothesis of “healthy migration effect” and “natural selection”; third, Elderly migrants who are from southeast developed areas, have enjoyed free physical examination services and have a high health literacy have a high probability of self-rated health; fourth, Demographic sociological characteristics, flowing characteristics, and health services not only solely influence self-rated health, but also perform a role in self-rated health as indirect variable.
