【内容提要】本文运用四期CHARLS数据，使用成长曲线模型探究隔代抚育对中国农村老年人自评健康轨迹的影响。研究发现，实施隔代抚育会显著加快老年人自评健康水平随年龄的下降速度。不仅如此，这一影响还存在性别差异。隔代抚育对女性的自评健康没有显著影响，但会显著降低男性在老年期的自评健康水平，并且随着年龄的上升，对于健康的负面效应会越来越大。进一步考察抚育强度的影响，我们发现高强度抚育才会显著影响男性老年人的健康，它不仅会降低男性老年人的总体自评健康水平，还会令他们的自评健康下降速度更快。总体而言，农村家庭中的隔代抚育回应了文化规范和家庭发展的需要，体现了中国家庭代际关系中传统与现代的交错与杂糅。

【关 键 词】隔代抚育；健康轨迹；农村老年人；性别差异；成长曲线模型

Grandchild Care and Health Trajectories of Rural Elderly: The Gender Perspective

HE Guangye, WANG Andi

Abstract: Utilizing four waves of data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011-2018), this study investigates the impact of grandchild care on the health trajectories of rural elderly in China. The growth curve model analysis reveals a negative correlation between grandchild care and the rate of health decline among these individuals. Notably, this effect varies by gender. For female elderly, grandchild care does not show a significant association with health changes.In contrast, grandchild care appears to worsen the health of male elderly, with this adverse impact intensifying with age. Moreover, when examining care intensity, results indicate that high-intensity grandchild care, as opposed to none or lowintensity care, is particularly significant in accelerating health decline in male elderly. These findings highlight the influence of context-specific cultural norms and family models, and illuminate the complex interplay of tradition and modernity in intergenerational relationships within Chinese families.
