Abstract: At present, my country's population aging is accelerating. Under the policy background of advocating "healthy aging", it is urgent to improve the health level of the elderly and promote health equity for the elderly. Given that home-based care is still the mainstream elderly care model for the elderly in my country, the housing conditions and living environment of the elderly are closely related to their health. This study focuses on the relationship between the elderly's housing resource ownership and health. This paper analyzes the living conditions and health status of the elderly at home. On the basis of stratifying the elderly group according to the ownership of housing resources, it verifies the existence of health inequality between different housing resource stratifications of the elderly, and explores the impact of housing resource stratification on health inequality among the elderly.
