| Abstract | ― 69 ― Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to determine the structure between socioeconomic status (SES), social interaction and health status among elderly urban community-dwellers in Tibet. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 1,979 elderly who were selected by cluster sampling method in 2009, giving a response rate of 93.2%. Structural equation modeling were used to perform the data. Results: In the structural model, SES had not only a direct effect, but also an indirect effect on health status by means of social interaction; compared with the indirect effect, SES exerted a larger direct impact on health status, especially on psychological health. Conclusions: People with higher SES are more likely to have better health status. In addition, social interaction plays a mediating role on the association between SES and health status. Therefore, improving social interaction of elderly people may decrease socioeconomic differentials in health status among urban community-dwelling elderly in Tibet. |
