Note: NRCMS represents the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme; SRH represents self-rated health. The reference for “medical insurance” is “no medical insurance.” The references for disease severity, sex, marriage, education, Hukou, and region are “not sick or slightly sick,” “female,” “unmarried,” “elementary school and below,” “rural household registration,” and “eastern China,” respectively. *, **, and *** indicate significance at levels of 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively. The variables in Table 3, Table 4 and Table 5 have the same definitions.
