Note: Diff-1 is the difference of incidence and intensity between rural and urban elderly households with chronic disease patients; Diff-2 is the difference of incidence and intensity between elderly households with chronic disease patients and elderly households that did not report chronic disease; **implies significance at 0.01, and *indicates significance at 0.05.
