Abstract:Objective To study the geographical spatial distribution characteristics of unhealthy and unable self-care elderly population aged 60 years and above in Fujian Province so as to understand the development law and trend of population aging. Methods Based on self-rated health data from the 2010 sixth national census in Fujian Province, a spatial autocorrelation analysis method was employed to analyze the spatial pattern of unhealthy and unable self-care elderly population aged 60 years and above in Fujian Province in 2010. Results The proportion of unhealthy and unable self-care elderly population aged 60 years and above in Fujian Province in 2010 had significantly spatial positive correlation and potential spatial dependence; moreover, its spatial distribution had obvious spatial differentiation. The proportion of unhealthy elderly population aged 60 years and above showed a spatial distribution pattern with hot spot in the northeast region of Fujian Province but cold spot in the southeast region, while the proportion of unable self-care elderly population aged 60 years and above presented a spatial distribution pattern with hot spot in the northeast and southwest regions of Fujian Province but cold spot in the southeast region. Conclusions The unhealthy and unable self-care elderly population aged 60 years and above in Fujian Province had obvious clustering areas; moreover, these areas were clustered and distributed continuously. The economic development level had a great impact on the health status of unhealthy and unable self-care elderly population aged 60 years and above in Fujian Province in 2010.
