Abstract This study uses factor analysis and regression analysis to explore the impact of social security, social capital on rural elderly farmers’ health by Chinese General Social Survey data in 2010. Factor analysis shows that social trust is divided into the two factors of special trust and general trust, and the elderly farmers’ health is divided into the three factors of the subjective self-rated health, objective mental health and objective physical health. Regression analysis shows the new rural cooperative medical insurance and new rural basic pension insurance for the elderly have no role in promoting health. Special trust factor has a role in promoting the subjective self-rated health, while the effect of general trust factor on which is negative. Studies suggest that improving security systems, upgrading rural social capital, developing the rural economy are important ways of improving the health of the elderly farmers in rural areas.
