摘要:	Introduction. After World War II, hundreds thousands of mainlanders followed Chiang Kai-Shek, retreating from Mainland China to Taiwan. They lived in communities built by government around the island. Chung-Shing-Shin-Tseun (CSST), one of these communities but different from the others, is the location of Taiwan Provincial Government. Using a theoretical framework that divided social factors measures into interaction, dependability, and affective dimensions, this study will determine whether these mainlanders differ from the Taiwaners in terms of social support, health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods. The study recruited all residents aged 65 and over in CSST in 1998 with an overall response rate of 89.13% (n=921). Face-to-face interviews were used to collect data. The Short Form 36 (SF-36) is a short questionnaire which measure eight multi-item variables: physical functioning, social functioning, role limitations due to physical and emotional problems, mental health, vitality, pain, and general health. Results. This study showed that the mainlanders were at older age, more likely to be male, retired, and living alone, with higher level of education and perception of loneliness, and with less availability of social resources, but no difference in marital status, and availability of confidant. After controlling for age and gender, the mean number of chronic conditions for these mainlanders was higher than that for Taiwaners, but no difference for the ADL and IADL, subjectively assessed income adequacy, number of financial dependents and 8 scales of SF-36. After controlling for sociodemographics and number of chronic conditions, the measures of social resources were associated with different aspects of HRQOL.
