目的：本研究探讨中国东部城市老年人社会资本与就地养老偏好之间的关系。方法：采用配额抽样的方法，于2015年在苏州市姑苏区招募了456名60岁及以上的受访者，采用随机效应logistic回归对模型进行检验。结果：家庭社会资本质量较好、社会信任度较高、组织成员较多的受访者，即使在控制个体因素后，也更有可能选择居住在当地社区。特征。讨论：研究结果强调了家庭和社区社会资本在影响中国城市老年人就地养老偏好方面的重要作用。这对于为生活在自然退休社区中的老年人开发长期护理系统尤其重要。
Objective: This study investigated the relationships between social capital and preferences for aging in place among older urban adults in eastern China.Method: Quota sampling was used to recruit 456 respondents aged 60 and older from Gusu District, Suzhou City, in 2015. Random-effects logistic regression was used to test the proposed model.Results: Respondents who had better quality family social capital, a higher level of social trust, and more organization memberships were more likely to choose to live in local communities, even after we controlled for individual characteristics.Discussion: The findings highlight the important role of both family and community social capital in influencing preferences for aging in place among older adults in urban China. This is particularly important for developing long-term care systems for older adults living in naturally occurring retirement communities.
