摘要

In recent years, the health status of the elderly floating population has attracted more and more attention. Based on the 2018 Chinese elderly Health tracking Survey data (CLHLS), it is found that the self‐rated health status of the elderly floating population over 65 years old is generally better, and the living self‐care ability is also better. Among them, most of the elderly floating population have positive medical habits, healthy diet, exercise habits and appropriate leisure methods. The ordered Logit regression model was used to analyze the influence of health awareness on the health status of the elderly floating population, and it was concluded that the habits of seeking medical treatment, eating habits, exercise habits and leisure methods had a positive impact on the health status. Through the robustness test, it is found that the model results are still significant. The personal heterogeneity test found that the health status of the elderly floating population with female and married sex was better, and the family heterogeneity test found that the elderly floating population with immediate family care and good family living conditions had better health status. With the expansion of the scale of the elderly floating population, the relevant government departments and medical institutions should further strengthen the education and publicity of health awareness, enhance the health awareness of the elderly floating population, improve the exercise infrastructure of the elderly, develop the related industries of the elderly, and ensure that the health needs of the elderly floating population are met.
