  Abstract: While the level of health of the Chinese population continues to improve, the gap in health equity among Chinese elderly has always existed as an objective reality and may even be increasing. Social determinants that affect health and equity are often changing dynamically. On the basis of clarifying the definition of elderly health equity according to WHO’s conceptual framework of social determinants of health, this paper analyzed the social determinants of health equity among elderly persons in China and discovered that, based on the recognition of traditional social determinants of elderly health, current important determinants of health equity for the elderly include: macro level health policy for the elderly, migration of the elderly due to urbanization and death cognition; individual level post-retirement work and social participation; and the age-friendliness of daily living environments and health service systems and their abilities to respond to major public health events. For policy-making reference, this paper also proposed to further strengthen the understanding and evaluation of health equity for the elderly, to take multiple measures and multiple balances of equity tor reduce the gap in health equity among elderly persons, and improve the age-friendliness of daily living environments and health service systems in order to achieve the goal of all-around, full life cycle health equity among the elderly.
