All elderly people were investigated with the self-designed Long-term Care Insurance Need Questionnaire for the Aged. The individual characteristics, economic state and consciousness were analyzed with the methods of descriptive analysis, chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 445 valid questionnaires were collected. There were 60.7% (270/445) of aged with the wills to participate in long-term care insurance and 57.8% (156/270) of them hope the insurance mostly in cash or nursing service. Single factor analysis showed that there were statistical differences in the wills to participate in long-term care insurance among the aged with different ages, education levels, with or without a spouse, living situation, number of children, number of sons, primary caregivers, conscious health status, number of chronic diseases, number of hospitalizations in the past year, main source of income, monthly income, type of medical security, preference for care places (χ 2=50.228, 19.662, 26.504, 36.934, 16.456, 23.963, 44.482, 27.684, 24.783, 29.278, 22.313, 14.836, 10.446, 9.087; P<0.05) . Logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of the will of the aged to participate in long-term care insurance included the ages, spouses and caregivers with statistical differences ( P<0.05) .
