Abstract
Background: Health disparities in rural Chinese communities remain a significant concern. This study aims to determine the role of socioeconomic status in influencing these disparities. Methods: Data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) for the years 2009, 2014, and 2019 were analyzed. An ordinal complementary log-log model was employed to investigate health inequality and its determinants within China. Results: The analysis revealed that health status varies significantly with different social and individual factors. Key determinants of health disparities included gender, region, residential area, ethnicity, and income level. Notably, individuals with lower socioeconomic status demonstrated poorer health outcomes compared to those with higher socioeconomic status. Conclusion: This study provides evidence of the significant impact of socioeconomic factors on health disparities in rural China. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare professionals, potentially informing strategies to reduce health inequalities within the country.
