This study examines self-perceived physical and mental health among 213 Chinese elderly who visited the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic of Beijing Hospital, the People's Republic of China. The study hypothesizes that cultural factors, specified by family relations, along with demographic factors, number of diseases, economic well-being, and living conditions have a significant impact on subjects self-perceived health status. Pearson correlation, linear and logistic regression analyses are performed. Results indicate that age, number of diseases, perceived family respect, neighborhood relations, and percentage of income spent on rent are significant predictors of self-perceived physical health. These same factors plus preference to live with a son and personal monthly income are significant predictors of self-perceived mental health. Socio-cultural implications of these findings are examined.
