Health is an important part of human capital.It is not only the foundation of social civilization and progress,but also an important symbol of a country’s prosperity and national prosperity.It is also the common pursuit of the broad masses of people and plays a decisive role in the development of a society’s economy.influences.Among the many researches on health factors,a large proportion of the results show that income and health are closely related.In addition to the current direct impact of income on health,income also has an impact on lagging health.However,research on the lagging effect of income on health has not yet formed a unified conclusion and is relatively scarce.Therefore,we need to conduct in-depth research on this study.After a literature review,this article points out that health is a kind of human capital,and health has the dual nature of consumer goods and investment goods,and analyzes the theoretical relationship between health and income with the help of Grossman and Becker’s health demand model,namely Health is not only the result of human capital investment,but also one of the essential conditions for human beings to invest in production.Health needs are a function of residents’ income.Furthermore,in order to study the lag effect of income on health,we introduced health into Fisher’s intertemporal consumption model to explain the theoretical mechanism of income’s impact on health in the lag period.Subsequently,based on the cross-sectional data of the China Family Tracking Survey(CFPS)in 2016 and 2018,the screening process selected 18,898 sub-samples from 32,669 total samples as the explanatory variable as the self-rated health level,and the explanatory variable as the family The Ordered-Logit model of income empirically analyzes the impact of residents’ income on residents’ health status: as family income increases,residents’ health status is better.Further,this paper selected 18,898 subsamples of household income to reach the food and clothing line,that is,10,805 samples in which there may be a lag effect in income,and also use the Ordered Logit model to empirically analyze the impact of the income of residents who reach the food and clothing line on the health of the lag period.There is indeed a significant impact: the income level of the previous period has a significant impact on the current health status.The impact mechanism is that after the previous period’s income is sufficient to support the current period’s necessary consumption expenditures,part of the balance can be entered through savings The next issue will have an impact on health.At the same time,we also analyzed the control variables and concluded that the residents’ healthy living habits and medical health insurance also have a significant positive impact on health.What is different from expectations is that the age of residents has a negative impact on health,which may be caused by the sub-health conditions caused by young people’s greater work pressure and bad work and rest habits.A complete medical and health service and a comprehensive medical insurance system can promote overall health.Maintaining a healthy lifestyle,not smoking less cigarettes,and exercising more outdoors will help you build a strong body and have enough energy to devote yourself to the career you love.in which the income lag effect may exist.The same empirical regression analysis was performed to verify that the income of residents reaching the subsistence line lag There is also a significant positive effect on health in the current period,that is,the income level of the previous period has a significant impact on the current health status.The impact mechanism is that after the previous period’s income is sufficient to support the current period’s necessary consumption expenditures,the balance is Some of them can enter the next period through savings and thus have an impact on health.A complete medical and health service and a comprehensive medical insurance system can promote overall health.Maintaining a healthy lifestyle,not smoking less cigarettes,and exercising more outdoors will help you build a strong body and have enough energy to devote yourself to the career you love.Finally,we put forward suggestions: First,develop the economy with high quality,and effectively increase the income level of residents to achieve the goal of improving residents’ health;second,promote the equalization of income distribution and increase social security to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.From absolute income And psychological factors to improve the health of residents;third,on the personal level,we must pay more attention to physical exercise,reduce bad healthy lifestyle habits such as smoking,drinking,staying up late,and go outdoors to take part in healthy exercise.In this way,it is the most straightforward to improve one’s own health;the fourth is to do a good job of propaganda work,create a good social health awareness atmosphere,so that the health concept can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people,so as to have incentives to go out of the comfort zone to improve health.Health is the greatest productivity.By increasing human capital,China has realized the transformation of the demographic dividend from quantity to quality,helping the sustained and healthy economic development and comprehensive national strength to enter a new stage of improving labor productivity of the whole society.But don’t forget that money is important,but if we don’t have a healthy body,everything will be meaningless.When we dedicate ourselves to our family,company,and country,we must not lose sight of one another and mess up our bodies.Even if we are temporarily depressed in our daily lives,we must know that having a healthy body is a blessing in life,because this is the greatest wealth we have.
