Abstract: Based on the fourth survey of the living conditions of the elderly in urban and rural areas of 2015, this paper explores the mediation effects of health human capital and social capital between economic capital and elder abuse using the simultaneous equations model. It is found that the incidence of elder abuse is about 2.70%. Mental abuse and neglect care are the leading categories of elder abuse in China. The older people who are living alone, in western China, male, with low education level, jobless, having more sons, and with more children out of home or with financial difficulties are at a greater risk of elder abuse. The older people's health human capital, economic capital, and social capital have significant inhibitory effect on elder abuse. It can be concluded that the incidence of elder abuse is low in China. Older people with greater health human capital, economic capital, and social capital are less likely to experience elder abuse. Further, the health human capital and social capital play mediation roles between economic capital and elder abuse. Policies aiming at improving the health awareness and economic security of the older people, establishing a diversified social support network, and strengthening the construction of community eldercare services should be adopted.

摘要： 利用2015年第四次中国城乡老年人生活状况抽样调查资料，采用联立方程模型研究老年人的健康人力资本、社会资本在经济资本与老年人虐待间的中介作用。结果显示：中国现阶段老年人总虐待的发生率为2.70%，老年人主要遭受精神虐待与疏于照料。西部、农村、男性、未上过学、未工作过、独居、儿子数多、外出子女比例高、有困难子女的老年人受虐待风险更高。健康人力资本、经济资本、社会资本对老年人虐待有显著的抑制作用。结论：中国老年人虐待发生率较低。老年人的健康人力资本、经济资本、社会资本的提高可有效抑制老年人虐待的发生，其中健康人力资本、社会资本在经济资本与老年人虐待间起中介作用。建议提高老年人健康意识与经济保障，建立多元化社会支持网络，加强社区老龄服务建设。
