The Impact Of Health Investment On Residents’Health Status In China

March2013, China’s discovery of human infection with H7N9avian flu, as of May2013, there were10provinces reported127cases of confirmed. Infectious diseases in people’s life constitute a huge impact, but also to raise awareness of the importance of health. Thirty years of reform and opening up, as people continue to increase income, consumer demand is gradually increasing, consumer products and all kinds of bad spending habits gradually into people’s lives, some of the prevalence of the disease has increased year by year. Special Therefore, the focus on health investment is gradually increasing, people began to" be more concerned about health issues.Over the past few decades,with the improvement of living standards of the society, residents’health needs are no longer just stay in physical health, but also include mental health, social health and so on. Therefore, they do not simply believe that illness is a healthy concept no longer applies, with the development of the times, people are concerned about the physical health, but also a growing awareness of the health implications of the broad, and thus more concerned about what factors affect the residents health.Before analyzing what factors affect the health, the need for the health of the residents have a clear measure. It is because of what the state of the real health problem is no consensus, so the researchers how to measure health status in the above there are many differences. Self-rated health is often used as a measure of health, very important reason is self-rated health data readily available. However, because the official in the last two questionnaires were deleted in this issue, a measure of health status can no longer use this indicator. Research experts Gamier and other health problems think that the use of indicators which reflect the health status, we must meet two conditions:first, to be able to describe the evolution of the health status of a group of extremely healthy levels; Second, to contribute to our problems research, and to identify possible recommendations. This article is based on the above two conditions to construct a new measure of health status indicators-Comprehensive identified health (CIH), this indicator is whether the recent illness and suffering in the past two indicators of disease severity in patients around the merger come. Comprehensive health of respondents identified health will set a very good, good, fair and poor, which is an ordered variable respectively assigned to them in this article4,3,2,1The health of families and individuals invest mainly refers to families and individuals to promote, restore and protect the financial, material and time invested in their own health, including investments of health, fitness, nutrition, health and other services. This paper argues that residents’ health investment can be divided into four areas:first, to maintain investment in the human body nutrients necessary; Second, to maintain lifestyle living and improve the investment environment; third, investment in health care spending; fourth, with the basic premise of health investments, mainly refers to the good work and adequate income.All study used data from the China Nutrition and Health Survey (CHNS). Due to the health needs of the theory proposed by Grossman is an important part of health economics, therefore, this paper Grossman model-based analysis of the health needs of the theory, and then select the factors that affect health; then, this article from the perspective of health investments that may affect health factors to explain the situation and analysis, four affect the health status of health investment; Finally, the impact of Ordered Probit model empirical analysis of health investments on health status.This paper is divided into five parts, the article is organized as follows:The first part is the background of this paper, a method frame content and ideas, from an academic background and practical background, analysis drawn growing awareness of the importance of health, the role of the health of residents have invested in improving health status. This paper aims to quantitatively analyze the impact on residents’ health status of health investment and provide reference information for the family and individual health investment, in order to make better health investment decisions.The second part of the first model to introduce Grossman, Grossman believes that people with similar health needs for the selection of other commodities, are budget constraints and time constraints under conditions to maximize utility, on this basis, Grossman believes education, Age and health services would have an impact on health. Therefore, on the basis of the Grossman model analysis on the health needs of selection factors affect the health of residents, and the selected factors from the perspective of health investments are classified. In addition, this paper based on the definition of health awareness and understanding of the principles of health indicators structure constructed on behalf of the residents’ health status indicators-Integrated identified health (CIH).The third part of the questionnaire data processing method described in this paper, and then selected variables descriptive statistics, and the corresponding assumptions on the basis of statistical description to make bedding for the empirical analysis.The fourth part introduces diverse selection model and sort selection model; then establish a comprehensive health status of the explanatory variables Ordered Probit model, and assuming that the front proposed by the likelihood ratio test divided into four categories described health investment is reasonable; then on the part of individual interpretation and analysis of the variables; due to the large proportion of the rural sample, the final chapter analyzes the interaction of household registration and agriculture.The fifth part of the text is the summary of the analysis, get some inspiration.From the conception to the model and then the model analysis, features are as follows:(1) For the current health research, mostly concentrated in the study relationship between income and health status, and health investment, research income effects on residents’health status is less, especially health literature very little investment.(2) Most current research from their own local area doing research, and the lack of representation of this research is more expensive source of this article is CHNS data research center, the authoritative data, systems, just finishing high difficulty.(3) Before the study of factors affecting the health of the majority is more casual, no classification. From the perspective of health investment departure, factors will affect the health status are classified in four areas of health investment and make the appropriate explanation.(4) This paper describes the statistics showed that from the point of view of household registration, good health status of rural residents in non-farm residents. Therefore, in addition to considering the impact on health beyond domicile, the model also joined the agriculture and residence of the product term, so that the analysis in this article to discuss this issue more clear, rigorous.
