Abstract
Background
Although policy actions and strategic efforts have recognized the importance of healthy aging services for Chinese older adults, supply and utilization remains low.
Aims
To analyze the demand and influencing factors for healthy aging services among young and middle-aged people in the Zhuang-inhabited area in Guangxi province.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1,731 participants in Guangxi, which comprised demographic and healthy aging services demand questionnaires.
Results
The top three demands were legal aid, pension fund, and pension environment. Age, ethnicity, and occupation were the common influencing factors of healthy aging services for young and middle-aged people. Furthermore, various factors affected each dimension of demand, showing a trend of individualization and diversification.
Conclusion
It is urgent to establish a prediction model of healthy aging demand for young and middle-aged people. Moreover, the government should implement activities to reform healthy aging services and the distinct service needs in Guangxi.
