Does Religious Activity Distinguish the Mortality Experiences of Older Taiwanese? An Analysis Using Eighteen Years of Follow-Up Data
Air Pollutants Interaction and Gender Difference on Bone Mineral Density T-Score in Taiwanese Adults
Osteoporosis is defined as a systemic skeletal disease characterized by a reduction in bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. Previous studies have reported associations between air pollution and lower bone mineral density; however, few studies have investigated the association between air pollution and osteoporosis. In this study, we combined two databases, the first including 5000 individuals registered in the Taiwan Bio…
Religiosity Dimensions and Disability-Free Life Expectancy in Taiwan
Objectives: Eight years of panel data are used to investigate the association between three dimensions of religiosity and total and disability-free life expectancy (TLE/DFLE) in Taiwan. Method: Data come from the 1999 "Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Aging" (TLSA; N = 4,440; Age 55+). Dimensions of religiosity are public, private, belief, and coping. Mortality is linked to a national database. Disability is activities of daily living (ADLs). TLE/DFL…
Apolipoprotein E and Measured Physical and Pulmonary Function in Older Taiwanese Adults
The apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene, which has three common alleles (ε2, ε3, and ε4), has been linked to a number of health outcomes and longevity. The ε2 allele has been reported to have neuroprotective effects, whereas the ε4 allele has been shown to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease in various populations. The relationships between ApoE and mortality and ApoE and physical function, however, are not clear-cut. We …
Trajectory of functional status among older Taiwanese: Gender and age variations
A Grating-Based Spectral Filtering Project in Photonics Instrumentation
In response to the growing demand of photonic systems engineers in industries, this paper proposes a term project that help students gain insight into photonics instrumentation via a grating-based spectrometer. The students are guided through simulations and experiments for the spectral filtering system and then implement the spectrometer using some technical notes and testing kits. They perform experiments and tests to verify and refine their wo…
The regional differences in prevalence, medical expenditures and risk factors for injury in Taiwanese teenagers
Background Injury is the leading cause of death in teenagers worldwide. In Taiwan, people in mountainous areas have a 4 to 8 years shorter life span than the general population. Injury among teenagers is likely a major cause. The objective of this study was to investigate the regional differences in the prevalence, the risk factors, and the medical expenditures for injury among Taiwanese teenagers. Method An equal probability national sample was …
Before and after the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake: Traumatic events and depressive symptoms in an older population
Determinants of Mortality at Older Ages: The Role of Biological Markers of Chronic Disease
Researchers have had a longstanding interest in understanding the determinants of mortality. This article examines the impact of a broad array of biological markers, together with self-reports of physical and mental health status, on the probability of dying for older adults. The estimates are derived from logistic regression models based on data from a national survey in Taiwan. The analysis confirms previous studies demonstrating the effects of…
Social relationships and allostatic load in Taiwanese elderly and near elderly
Social Linkages to Biological Markers of Health Among the Elderly
The social environment and exposure to life challenge affect a person's physical and emotional well-being. The present research uses a population-based study of the elderly in Taiwan to elaborate the cumulative physiological costs – as reflected in biological markers of risk factors known to have adverse consequences for health – of challenge and unfavourable position in social hierarchies and networks. Overall, biological markers of risk among t…
Gender Differences in Adult Children's Support of Their Parents in Taiwan
This paper examines the patterns and determinants of four types of support provided by adult children to their parents, with particular attention to differences in the helping behaviors of sons and daughters. The data come from the 1989 wave of the Survey of Health and Living Status of the Elderly in Taiwan. The analysis is based on 12,166 adult children from 2,527 families. We find that usually only one child in a family provides help with activ…
