ABSTRACT

With the improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to health conditions, especially the outbreak of this epidemic, which makes people more aware of the importance of health. The realization of people's health depends on their own capital endowment, and the sense of gain is a direct factor affecting the health of residents. Therefore, this paper uses CGSS 2017 data to investigate the impact of capital endowment on residents' health status by using OLS method Then the mediating variable of perceived gain is added to analyze the ways in which capital endowment can improve individual health level among urban and rural residents. The study found that capital endowment has a positive effect on health. Further heterogeneity analysis shows that from the perspective of urban-rural differences, the impact of financial capital and social capital on non-agricultural household registration is greater than that of agricultural household registration, and cultural capital is more conducive to improving the health status of rural household registration. From the perspective of regional differences, there is little difference in the impact of capital endowment among different regions.
