Description
Yuanyuan Qin and six co-authors link non-housing wealth to survival in older Chinese adults in a 2025 study. Home ownership is near universal in China, so housing wealth says little about real financial room. Cash, savings, and other assets may tell the truer story for health.
A national cohort of over twelve thousand adults aged forty-five to eighty-five was followed through 2020. Assets outside housing were measured at baseline from a harmonized aging survey. The team also crossed asset level with household spending to form four combined groups. Deaths from all causes were tracked against asset quartiles. The design separates stored wealth from daily consumption habits. Results can inform pension and welfare policy in a rapidly aging country.
