Abstract

Abstract: The elderly with chronic diseases has the characteristics of multidimensional vulnerability. From the perspective of vulnerability theory， based on the “risk factors-anti-risk ability-social service system” analysis framework of the World Food Program (WFP)， an assessment index system and evaluation model reflecting the vulnerability of the elderly with chronic diseases are constructed from multiple dimensions such as health， economy， society and life. It is found in the study that with the increase of age， the average vulnerability index of elderly men and women with chronic diseases has shown an upward trend. In the 65~80 age group， the average vulnerability index of elderly men with chronic diseases is higher than that of elderly women. In the 80~105 age group， the mean vulnerability index of elderly women with chronic diseases is generally higher than that of men. Among the elderly with high vulnerability and chronic disease， the proportion of risk factor brittleness is the highest. The core inducement leading to high vulnerability is that they face more risk factors and lack anti-risk ability. The proportion of vulnerability caused by social factors is the highest among the elderly with moderate and low vulnerability and chronic diseases.

Key words: elderly with chronic disease; vulnerability index; type of vulnerability; comprehensive evaluation
