Abstract: To provide a basis for service supply for older persons, we investigated older adults' willingness to pay for combined medical and old-age care services in Jinjiang District, Chengdu. According to the Anderson model and the opinions of statistical experts, a questionnaire was designed, implemented in Questionnaire Star, and distributed to the residents of the Jinjiang District of Chengdu.
