Self-rated health is less likely to be influenced by factors rather than changes in object indicators of health, while change in life satisfaction is more complicated. Improvement of financial status or having medical insurance is encouraging to improvement in life satisfaction. Elder people live in city and town is more likely to have improved self-rated health and life satisfaction during the observational period.
