“…The data from the CLHLS are of high quality according to its representativeness and randomness of attrition 23. The response rate of the oldest-old (older than 80 years) participants in the CLHLS was very high (98%) because the Chinese oldest-old adults, in general, may be proud to be a member of such a long-lived group are willing to talk to outside people.…”

“…Los principales resultados muestran que los adultos con un nivel de educación superior a los 12 años de escolaridad tienen mayor posibilidad de conservar autonomía funcional desde la perspectiva de familiares. Dichos resultados coinciden con varias investigaciones (Martinho et al, 2013;Chen & Hu, 2018;Fuentes et al, 2013), los cuales reflejan que el bajo nivel educativo influye perjudicialmente a medida que aumenta la edad, con respecto a la salud del individuo y su nivel de autonomía. Estos resultados están en consonancia con los obtenidos por otros estudios realizados en Latinoamérica, en cuanto a la existencia de una asociación entre el nivel educativo y la autonomía funcional.…”

“…Sin embargo, en los sectores urbanos no se encontró la asociación entre nivel educativo y limitaciones funcionales en el adulto (Lavarone et al, 2007). De igual manera, Chen y Hu concluyen en su estudio que el nivel educativo está asociado con la posibilidad de muerte una vez que se ha tenido una limitación funcional, pero que no se podría explicar la posibilidad de tener tal limitación una vez que se ha sido autónomo (Chen & Hu, 2018). Este resultado contrasta con el presente estudio, probablemente debido a que la realidad socioeconómica y educativa de los países europeos y asiáticos difiere de la latinoamericana, siendo en esta última un factor importante el nivel socioeconómico.…”
