Objective: This study aimed to explore the impact of caring for disabled spouses on the health status of elderly females, Including both mental health and physical health. Methods: Data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2018 was used. To analyze the data, a least squares regression model (OLS) and a two-stage least squares regression model (2SLS) was established. Results: There exists a high negative correlation between caring for disabled spouse and health of elderly females at 1% significance level. In addition, through data analysis, we found that the effects of caring for disabled spouses on the health of older female vary significantly by age, education level and residence type. Finally, Sleep duration, physical exercise, and social interaction mediate the relationship. The correlation coefficient between caring for a disabled husband and the psychological health of elderly females is ?0.261, while the correlation coefficient between caring for a disabled husband and the physical health of elderly females is ?0.240. Conclusions: Caring for a disabled spouse seriously might seriously affect the mental and physical health of elderly females. Caring for a disabled spouse reduces the sleep duration, physical exercise, and social interaction of elderly women, thereby lowering their health levels. According to the research results, the following suggestions were put forward: To accelerate the construction of a multi-level elderly care service system to achieve effective cooperation between the government and the market; to establish a sound family care support policy; care and attention should be given to older females caring for disabled spouses. %K 失能老人,老年女性,照料者健康,家庭照料
