摘要

Population aging is one of the common problems faced by all countries in the world, and geriatric health is one of the important pillars of active aging. Using data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, this paper aimed to explore the effects of functional ability, lifestyle, and social support on self-rated health of Chinese older adults respectively, and further explored the mediating role of depression symptoms in these effects. This study found that (1) The functional ability to independently carry out daily life, healthy lifestyles, and adequate social support significantly increased the self-rated health of Chinese older adults. (2) The mediating effect of depression symptoms was significant, and the functional ability to independently carry out daily life, healthy lifestyle and adequate social support can significantly reduce the depression symptoms of the older adults, and thus significantly improve the self-rated health level of the older adults.
