Book excerpt: The academic circle has discussed the relationship between social security and population health from various perspectives, including the mechanism and economic outcomes of social security affecting health, the impact of population health on social security sustainability, etc. Despite these aspects, it is note-worthy that in recent years, some new factors have emerged in the economic and social environment which need to be taken into consideration. For example, the rapid development of digital medical technology has improved the operation efficiency and health effect of medical insurance, while population aging may be detrimental to the health of older adults and increase their health burden by reducing the size of pensions. In addition, complex environmental changes can make the relationship between social security and population health more difficult to grasp. These new factors all requires more research to analyze.
