With increasing age, the mental health problems of older adults have become increasingly prominent, and the choice of pension mode is closely related to the mental health of older adults. Starting from the psychological level of the older adult, this paper used data from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey to study the impact of three pension methods on the mental health of older adults. The study found that, at present, there are three types of pension modes in China: living alone, family pension, and institutional care, and family pensions are still the mainstream pension mode. Older adults with deeper negative feelings are more inclined to family pensions than to live alone, but the spiritual comfort provided by family members does not improve the negative feelings of older adults. Institutional care deepens the negative feeling and reduces the positive feeling of older adults. In addition, retirement or pension and medical insurance, as life security in old age, can effectively reduce the negative feelings of old age and promote positive feelings. In view of the present situation of China\u2019s pension mode and the psychological characteristics of the older adults, we should further build a perfect family pension security system, promote the personalized service construction of older adult care institutions, promote applicable aging renovation of existing residential areas, and encourage older adults to engage in healthy exercise.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19010119","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,23]],"date-time":"2021-12-23T10:16:18Z","timestamp":1640254578000},"page":"119","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["The Influence of Pension Mode on the Mental Health of Older Adults\u2014Evidence from Older Adults in China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Liqing","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Management and Law, Hunan Agriculture University, Changsha 410125, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luyao","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Management and Law, Hunan Agriculture University, Changsha 410125, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"17","article-title":"Does the Living Arrangement Affect the Needs of Elderly Home Care Services?","volume":"5","author":"Chen","year":"2020","journal-title":"World Surv.
