Using data from the 2004 Health Survey of the Middle-Aged Intelligentsia in Beijing City, this paper compares the health status (measured as number of chronic diseases & self-reported life quality) of intelligentsia and other people, and examines the sociodemographic determinants of intellectuals' health. Analytical results suggest that, f irst, the intelligentsia have a worse physical health than other people do, but there is no significant difference between them in terms of self-reported life quality; second, sociodemographic factors yield a divergent impact on these two measurements of health. While stresses from work and daily life are important to both physical health and self-reported life quality, other factors, including age, sex, lifestyle, family context, affect them differently.
