| Summary: | Many countries face an increasingly aging population, but China is now home to the largest population of older people in the world. This study aims to analyze health-related factors influencing fears of aging among elderly Chinese citizens. Multiple regression models were constructed using fears of aging as the dependent variable and demographics and other key components as independent variables, respectively. Results showed that individuals with a chronic disease had more fears of aging than those without a chronic disease. Individuals with a higher personal annual income had less fears of aging. Individuals who were less worried about the lack of timely treatment and unaffordable medical expenses had less fears of aging. |
