Abstract:
This study analyzed the characteristics of 118 738 seasonal migrants who were aged 65 and under management by the Health Statistics Center of Hainan Health Commission.Our study revealed that approximately 51.6％of elderly seasonal migrants were male,with around 75.2％aged below 75 years.Elderly seasonal migrants originating from the Northeast region constituted roughly 36.3％of the total,and the majority of them settled in Haikou,Chengmai and Dongfang(each representing over 10％of the total).Of the nine prevalent health conditions surveyed,about 27.6％of the elderly seasonal migrants suffered at least one condition.Haikou,Wanning,Qionghai,and Dongfang received more than 3 000 elderly seasonal migrants with health issues.Considering the availability of healthcare resources,there exists a negative correlation between the distribution of elderly seasonal migrants and the hospitalization service load of doctors in various destination areas.This study recommends Hainan Province further improving the seasonal migrants dynamic survey system,scientifically arranging healthcare resources and services,and systematically enhancing the health service experience of the seasonal migrants.
