At present,China’s 60-year-old and older population has exceeded 200 million,accounting for 15.5% of the total population,including 24 million elderly and nearly 40 million disabled elderly.Compared with the national population size of the elderly,the aging rate of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang is faster: according to the sixth census data,the population of Xinjiang Autonomous Region reached 23.2254 million,the Uygur population reached 11.2719 million,accounting for 48.53% of the Xinjiang population,while the Uygur elderly population reached 23.354 million,accounting for the total region in 2014.With a population of 10.8%,Xinjiang has entered an aging society,and its growth rate of 4.36% is far higher than the national average of 1.16 percentage points,showing a trend of accelerating year by year.Compared with other age groups,the physiological function of the elderly is in the stage of self-admission decline,more elderly people are withdrawing from various social roles,physical and mental changes in the elderly population increase the spectrum of disease,so the elderly for daily life care needs,health care and public welfare needs.Relatively high.With the development of economy and society,the new family living mode reduces the chances of family caring for the elderly.Based on this,this paper tracked and investigated the elderly in three different Uygur communities in Yining,Xinjiang,and compared the effects of living patterns and physical health on the well-being of ethnic minority elderly.In order to understand the impact of living patterns and health status on the well-being of Uygur elderly in Xinjiang,this study investigated 500 Uygur aged 60 and over in Xinjiang.The study used questionnaires to collect data.Age,sex,spouse and education level have different effects on the health status and happiness experience of the elderly.Male elderly people scored higher than female in seven dimensions: life satisfaction,positive emotions,life vitality,health concern,self-worth,personality development,subjective well-being,and negative.Emotional and friendly relations score lower than female elderly.In terms of age difference,the happiness of the elderly aged 70-79 is higher than that of other age groups in several dimensions,but the difference is not significant.There is no obvious relationship between the educational level of the elderly and their well-being.The scores of physiological function of the male elderly are higher than those of the female elderly,the scores of psychological function of the female elderly are higher than those of the male elderly,and the scores of the health status of the elderly in different age groups are different.From the total score,the scores of physiological function of the elderly aged 70-79 are higher,while those aged 80 and above are in the heart.The score of physical function is higher;education level has no obvious effect on the health of the elderly.Living patterns have different effects on the health status of the elderly: the scores of physiological function factors of the elderly living with their spouses are relatively high;the scores of psychological function factors of the elderly living with multiple generations are relatively high.Living patterns also have different impacts on the well-being of the elderly.The elderly who live together for many generations are more likely to have different emotional experiences,and to have higher scores in psychological well-being,subjective well-being and overall well-being.The analysis of the relationship among the living mode,health status and well-being of the elderly in Xinjiang shows that there is a significant two-to-two correlation among the three,and the living mode has a significant impact on the health status of the elderly;the living mode has a significant impact on the happiness of the elderly,and the health status of the elderly has a significant impact on the well-being of the elderly.
