Notes: We included 21 783 participants from the CHARLS study, waves 1 and 2. Multivariate linear regressions were performed by adjusting for current socioeconomic factors, lifestyle factors and demographic factors. Locomotion includes balance, muscle strength and gait; vitality is defined as underlying a person’s resilience to challenges, vigour and stamina, to maintain homeostasis in the face of daily stressors; psychological capacity involves mood and emotional resilience. Table 2 presents all the marginal effects and their associated 95% CIs.
