Abstract: With the advancement of medical technology and the improvement of living conditions, people’s life expectancy continues to extend, and the proportion of the elderly population gradually in-creases, which has sparked global attention to an aging society. Understanding the impact of the socio-economic situation of the elderly on their choice of elderly care methods is of great signif-icance for formulating elderly care policies that adapt to the challenges of aging and providing personalized elderly care services. The article selects data from the 2018 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS), focusing on the current aging situation in China, and uses a multiple logistic regression model to analyze and explore the impact of the socio-economic status of the elderly on their choice of elderly care methods. This study will provide useful insights for elderly care decision-makers and researchers to address the challenges faced by an aging society. Future research can continue to explore other influencing factors and how to provide more comprehensive and personalized elderly care services to meet the different needs and preferences of the elderly.
