In an era of longevity,studying how living arrangements affect the health of the oldest-old has important practical reference value for planning related elderly care services.By using data of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey(CLHLS)and multidimensional health indexes,this paper analyzed the relationship between living arrangements and health of the oldest-old.It is found that most of the oldest-old live together with their children,but the multidimensional health levels of them are various under different living arrangements.The living arrangement of the oldest-old has an effect on their physical,mental and comprehensive health,but has no effect on their self-rated health statistically.Its influence on comprehensive health of the oldest-old are heterogeneous in terms of age,gender,and living areas(urban or rural).When developing care services for the oldest-old,we should pay full attention to the impact of living arrangements on health,the development of family-oriented service models and rural old-age care,as well as the mental health of the oldest-old.
