“…The majority of older adults in this study did not need long-term services and support, and this result is similar to a study conducted among Japanese elderly in Tokyo [9]. Another research study carried out among elderly people in Vietnam, with the purpose of assessing their required support in ADLs, also found that most of the participants did not need any support [41].…”

“…For example, adults living in high-income inequality counties have been found to have worse mental health than those in low-income inequality counties [5], and the negative impacts of displacement on mental health were found among adults living in urban areas [6], which showed SES was associated with mental health [7]. Concerning the Japanese elderly, the prevalence of poor mental health became lower as SES became higher [8], indicating the positive relationship between SES and mental health for both genders of Japanese elderly [9]. What is more, low childhood SES in post–World War II has had a long-latency effect on the onset of depression among Japanese adults [10].…”

Low SES not only increased the risk for entering LTSS [16], but also increased the difficulties in accessing formal care [17].…”

Research with Japanese elderly showed that mental health exerts a negative effect on NLTSS, and the effect was stronger for Japanese elderly women [9]. Additionally, a small social support network, heart disease, and daytime sleepiness were associated with low mental health well-being for those with NLTSS insurance [24].…”

This study aims to clarify the association between socioeconomic status (SES), mental health, and the need for long-term services and support (NLTSS) of the Chinese elderly, and further, to provide evidence-based suggestions for the development of the long-term services and support (LTSS) system in China. A cross-sectional survey using a multi-stage random sampling method was conducted in Shandong Province, China, in 2017. Data were collected from seniors aged over 60 years old through questionnaires by face-to face interviews. A total of 7070 subjects were included in the final database (40.3% male and 59.7% female). A chi-square test analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were employed to explore the relationship between SES, mental health, and NLTSS for both male and female elderly people. The SEM analysis showed that mental health was significantly and negatively associated with NLTSS for both male elderly and female elderly, and it was slightly stronger among the male elderly. A significant and negative relationship was observed between SES and NLTSS for both genders, and the association was stronger among the female elderly. SES exerted a positive effect on mental health for both male and female elderly people, and a slightly stronger effect was found among the male elderly. Advice for the development of a LTSS system in China was given based on the above results.
