“The larger the scale, the more sustainable?” – Research on the effect of scale of operation on the farmland quality protection behaviors of farm households
The effect of the scale of operation expansion on farmers’ adoption of farmland quality protection behaviors remains a contested issue. Focusing on agricultural production’s front-end and back-end, this study selected crop rotation and fallow behavior and straw return behavior to jointly characterize farm households’ farmland quality protection behaviors and examine the correlation between the two behaviors. Using stratified random sampling data …
Genetic and phenotypic associations of social isolation and loneliness with sarcopenia
Social isolation and loneliness are recognized risk factors for adverse aging outcomes, but their effects on sarcopenia remain understudied. This study investigated the independent and combined effects of social isolation and loneliness on the risk of incident sarcopenia in two large prospective cohorts: CHARLS (n = 8,856) and ELSA (n = 5,561), including participants aged 50 years and older free of sarcopenia at baseline. Sarcopenia was defined u…
The impact of peer effects on farmers’ pesticide packaging waste recycling behavior
Developing effective recycling mechanisms and behavioral intervention strategies for pesticide packaging waste (PPW) is a critical global challenge. Based on data from the China Rural Revitalization Survey (CRRS), this study investigates the influence of peer effects on farmers' pesticide packaging waste recycling behavior and its underlying mechanisms from a peer-effect perspective. The results indicate that peer effects significantly promote fa…
How do adverse childhood experiences influence non-suicidal self-injury among Chinese adolescent patients? A structural equation modeling approach
A population-based multilevel analysis on market transition, filial support, and parental depressive symptoms in Chinese older parents
Objectives This study aims to investigate the influence of ecological-level marketization, individual-level filial support, and their interaction on depressive symptoms in older Chinese adults. Methods Population-based data from the 2016 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey were utilized (N = 9,397). A hierarchical linear model was employed to evaluate the extent to which market transition, as measured by the marketization index, filial support…
Parent–child discrepancies in educational expectations and depressive symptoms among Chinese middle school adolescents
Using data from the China Education Panel Survey ( N = 9226), this study aims to explore the association between parent–child discrepancies in educational expectations and depressive symptoms in Chinese middle school adolescents with academic self-efficacy as a mediator and gender as a moderator. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the associations between parent–child discrepancies in educational expectations and adolescent depressi…
Prevalence of Suicidal Ideation, Suicide Plans, and Suicide Attempts Among Children and Adolescents Under 18 years of Age in Mainland China
Despite suicide in younger population having become a severe public health issue, information on the prevalence of suicidality among Chinese children and adolescents is still limited. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of suicidal ideation, suicide plans, and suicide attempts in Chinese children and adolescents aged under 18 years. A meta-analysis was conducted based on English and Chinese publications from January 1, 2010 to December 31,…
Patterns and determinants of multidimensional poverty and welfare interventions
This study examines the patterns and determinants of multidimensional poverty and related welfare interventions in Hong Kong. These patterns unveil which dimension or combinations of dimensions contribute the most to multidimensional poverty. These results are useful in informing poverty‐alleviation policies as they help to identify who should be targeted and which welfare transfer programme(s) should be enhanced . Data were drawn from the first …
What You Perceive Is What You Get
Rumors spread on social media overshadow the truth and trigger public panic. One effective countermeasure to address this issue is online rumor-combating. However, its effectiveness on social media has not been fully verified. In this study, drawing on construal level theory, we use temporal distance-the time interval between a rumor-combating post being released and receiving responses from social media users-to measure the effectiveness of rumo…
Market Transition, Occupational Status, and Depression in Urban China
This study investigated the effects of ecological-level marketization, individual-level occupational status, and their interaction, on depression in residents in urban China. Population-based data ( N = 13,004) from the 2016 China Family Panel Survey were used. A multilevel mixed-effects generalized linear model explored whether and to what extent market transition measured by the marketization index (MI), occupational status measured by internat…
The Prevalence of Bullying Victimization and Perpetration Among the School-Aged Population in Chinese Communities
Though bullying was predominantly documented in Western societies, increasing attention has been paid to bullying in Chinese communities during recent years. It remains unknown whether bullying among youngsters in the Chinese communities is similar to or different from their counterparts in Western societies. A systematic review was primarily conducted in English and Chinese databases from the start to December 31, 2021. This study estimated the …
Impact of outsourcing agricultural production on the frequency and intensity of agrochemical inputs
Determining the Efficiency of the Sponge City Construction Pilots in China Based on the DEA-Malmquist Model
Sponge city construction (SCC) has improved the quality of the urban water ecological environment, and the policy implementation effect of SCC pilots is particularly remarkable. Based on the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model, this study employed the related index factors such as economy, ecology, infrastructure, and the population of the pilot city as the input, and the macro factors of SCC as the output, to scientifically evaluate the relati…
Mobility Based on GPS Trajectory Data and Interviews
Few studies have examined mobility from a social exclusion perspective. Limited mobility can restrict opportunities to interact with others and therefore may lead to social exclusion. This pilot study was designed to test the feasibility of integrating Global Positioning System (GPS) trajectory data and interview data to understand the different mobility patterns between lower- and higher-income older adults in Hong Kong and the potential reasons…
Life satisfaction among older adults in urban China
In urban China, the social welfare system and the family structure have changed dramatically, while gender norms are still deep-rooted, particularly among older adults. Under this social, demographic and cultural context, this study aims to take a gender-specific perspective to investigate whether and how gender moderates the roles of pensions, social support and self-care ability on older adults’ life satisfaction. Based on the survey data colle…
Women's suicide in low-, middle-, and high-income countries
Association of neighbourhood social and physical attributes with depression in older adults in Hong Kong
BACKGROUND: Previous studies investigating the independent effects of neighbourhood-level factors on depression are rare within the Asian context, especially in the elderly population. METHODS: Data for 29 099 older adults aged 65 years or above who have received health examinations at elderly health centres in Hong Kong in 2008-2011 were analysed. Using multilevel regression modelling, the cross-sectional associations of neighbourhood social att…
Mechanisms connecting objective and subjective poverty to mental health
Understanding the Increase in Life Expectancy in Hong Kong
To assess the mechanism responsible for the improvement in life expectancy in Hong Kong over the past several decades, Arriaga's decomposition method was applied to quantify the influence of the age structure and the leading causes of death on the increase in life expectancy in Hong Kong from 1986 to 2015. Our results showed that, during the observed period, the major contribution to the improvement in life expectancy in Hong Kong was attributabl…
Neighborhood environment and cognitive function in older adults
Suicide rates in China, 2004–2014
The biased MOH-VR System underestimated China's national and rural suicide rates. Although not widely appreciated in the field of suicide research, the CDC-DSP System provides more accurate estimations on China's suicide rates and is recommended for future studies to monitor the reversing trends of suicide rates in China's more developed areas
