Gender-Sensitive Self-Oriented Face-Saving Strategies in Chinese Celebrity Interviews
Previous studies in the domain of (im)politeness have extensively examined face-threatening acts, face redressive actions, and impoliteness strategies. Nevertheless, there is a need for more studies on the implementation of strategies related to self-oriented face-saving in response to face-threatening acts. Adopting a qualitative research methodology, this study attempts to bridge this gap by investigating the self-face-saving strategies utilise…
Association of age at menarche and menopause, reproductive lifespan, and stroke among Chinese women
Background: The association between age of menarche, age of menopause, reproductive lifespan and risk of stroke in Chinese women remains unclear and requires further clarification. Methods: A stratified multi-stage random sampling method was used to select participants at baseline in 2012-2015. The participants' basic information was collected through a standardised questionnaire by professional investigator and examined by trained medical person…
Effect of retirement on the body mass index in China
On average, retirement has no significant impact on the BMI and overweight and obesity rates. Retirement leads to an increase in the BMI among men but does not affect that in women. When considering adjustments to existing retirement policies, the differential health effects of retirement across various populations should be taken into account
Sustaining linguistic heritage
Given that input-based language and literacy environments provide socioculturally-enriched contexts for bilingual and biliteracy acquisition, the current study aims to explore the contribution of early input in various sociocultural contexts to later biliteracy development among college-level Chinese heritage language (CHL) students. A group of CHL students (N = 195) participated in this study and completed a background survey about their early …
The impact of retirement on blood pressure
Retirement is associated with an increase in blood pressure level. There is a causal relationship between the increase in blood pressure levels of men and retirement. Policy-makers should pay extra attention to the health status of men and less educated people when adjusting retirement policies in the future
Tianma-Gouteng pair ameliorates the cognitive deficits on two transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease
Advances in cytokine-based herbal medicine against premature ovarian insufficiency
Air pollution is associated with abnormal left ventricular diastolic function
This large-scale nationwide population study demonstrated a significantly positive association between ambient PM 2.5 , PM 10 and NO 2 with ALVDF, especially for mild ALVDF. The functional abnormality may partially explain the enhanced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with air pollution, which highlights the importance of appropriate interventions to reduce ambient air pollution in China
Cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality associated with individual and combined cardiometabolic risk factors
Cardiometabolic risk factors were associated with a multiplicative risk of CVD incidence and all-cause mortality, highlighting the importance of comprehensive management for hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia in the prevention of CVD
Parenthood, spatial temporal environmental exposure, and leisure-time physical activity participation
Number of Births and Later-Life Depression in Older Adults
Previous studies on the number of births and the health of the elderly have been highly focused on physical health and used samples from developed countries. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of the lifetime number of births on depression in Chinese older adults. We used panel data for men and women aged 50 and over from the 2013-2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Depressive symptoms were assessed through a short…

Effects of Fertility Behaviors on Depression Among the Elderly
Background: Increased population aging is associated with increased incidence of depression among the elderly. Existing studies have shown that ill-advised fertility behaviors during their youth also affect the health of the elderly. However, insufficient attention has been paid to depression among elderly in China. This paper focuses on how fertility behaviors affect senile depression among parents by examining the heterogeneity of such effects …
Population migration, spread of Covid-19, and epidemic prevention and control
This study enriched and expanded on simulations of the effects of population migration on the COVID-19 epidemic and China-based empirical studies while offering an epidemic evaluation and warning mechanism to prevent and control similar public health emergencies in the future
Efficacy and action mechanisms of a Chinese herbal formula on experimental models of atopic dermatitis
Does Delayed Retirement Crowd Out Workforce Welfare? Evidence in China
Does delayed retirement crowd out the welfare of the workforce? To answer this question, a dynamic optimization framework is established to simulate the impact of delayed retirement on the welfare of the working population over time. Simulations are conducted based on practical and feasible parameters. Delayed retirement was found to improve the welfare of the working population rather than crowding it out. Furthermore, the results are robust aga…
Evaluation of the effects of androgenic Chinese herbal medicines on androgen receptors and tumor growth in experimental prostate cancer models
Bacteria and poisonous plants were the primary causative hazards of foodborne disease outbreak
Bacteria and poisonous plants were the primary causative hazard of foodborne diseases. Some specific measures are needed for ongoing prevention and control against the occurrence of foodborne diseases
Land control and crop booms inside China
This paper aims to broaden the scope of analysis of the contemporary global land rush by examining crop booms not only outside, but inside China; and investment flows not only from China, but also within and into China. It does so by examining the eucalyptus and sugarcane sectors in southern China, which have witnessed investment booms during the past decade, with capital being infused by both domestic capital and foreign capital, including Finni…
