Abstract

Considering the unprecedented population aging problem and health-related difficulties in India, the study attempts to explore the health-related discrepancies among male and female elderly, with the help of a composite health indicator. The composite health indicator is formulated using the underlying characteristics of different health dimensions and expressed by a single health index as the representative of the overall health status of the elderly. Findings suggest that individual characteristics like, education and marital status have the greater exploratory power of gender health difference than the household characteristics. Socioeconomic variables like education levels, social groups, religious groups and geographic region influence almost similarly in constructing overall health of elderly across gender, however, almost after a decade the health difficulties has accelerated among the higher income classes both for men and women elderly.

性别在健康分类中的作用:来自印度老年人的证据
考虑到印度前所未有的人口老龄化问题和健康相关困难,本研究试图借助一个综合健康指标来探讨男性和女性老年人在健康相关方面的差异。综合健康指标是利用不同健康维度的基本特征制定的,用单一健康指数表示,代表老年人的整体健康状况。研究发现,教育程度、婚姻状况等个体特征对性别健康差异的探索力大于家庭特征。教育水平、社会群体、宗教团体和地理区域等社会经济变量对不同性别老年人整体健康状况的影响几乎相似,然而,几乎在十年之后,高收入阶层的男性和女性老年人的健康问题加速了。
