Overview

Analysis shows healthcare accessibility improves quality of life in older adults, highlighting age differences. Results indicate a shift from passive to proactive service is crucial for the oldest age groups.

Key Points

  • Healthcare accessibility significantly improves quality of life in older adults, especially subjective accessibility across age groups.
  • Objective healthcare accessibility's effect strength gradually decreases in older adults, while subjective accessibility initially increases then decreases.
  • The disparity in effect size between subjective and objective healthcare accessibility widens among older age groups, emphasizing proactive service for the oldest-old.
  • Findings provide evidence for age-stratified healthcare policies, addressing diverse needs of older adults in China and other developing countries.
