Association of maternal immigration status with emotional eating in Taiwanese children
Associations of objective and subjective relative deprivation with health, happiness, and life satisfaction
Both objective and subjective relative deprivation were negatively associated with multiple dimensions of human flourishing. Policies aimed at addressing relative deprivation and reducing income inequality could contribute to higher levels of health, happiness, life satisfaction, social relationships, and economic stability
Associations between literacy and attitudes toward artificial intelligence–assisted medical consultations
Measuring adolescent health literacy in Taiwan
The results indicate that the HAS-A is a valuable tool for assessing the health literacy of 10-11-year-old adolescents and can uncover health literacy inequality among different regions
Sex differences in the association between sugar-sweetened beverages consumption and metabolic risks among the working-age population in Taiwan
Objective: Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) are linked to increased metabolic risk. However, the sex differences in the relationship between SSB intake and adverse health effects remain unclear. Therefore, the present study examined the association between SSB consumption and metabolic risks among working-age males and females from Taiwanese communities. Design: A community-based study utilised data from a comprehensive health screening project co…
Social alienation of adolescents with obesity in classrooms
INTRODUCTION: Adolescents with obesity are more likely to be isolated by peers, but whether they also choose to disengage from their peers remains unclear. METHODS: This study examined a sample of 646 adolescents between the age of 13 and 16 across 34 classrooms in 3 junior high schools in Taiwan, with data collected from May to June 2019. The sociometric network nomination method assessed peer relationships, such as unpopularity, unsociability, …

Objective: To explore the factors influencing Taiwanese adolescents’ consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) and sugary snacks from a socio-ecological perspective. Design: This study adopted a qualitative design by using face-to-face, in-depth interviews guided by a semistructured questionnaire. Setting: Eight junior high schools in New Taipei City and Changhua County, Taiwan, September to November 2018. Participants: Fifty-nine participan…
Associations of sugar-sweetened beverage knowledge, self-efficacy, and perceived benefits and barriers with sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in adolescents
Delayed Romantic Experience
Stigmatization of overweight and obese individuals is common in interpersonal relationships. This study investigated longitudinal weight change patterns among Taiwanese adolescents and the relationship of weight change patterns with delayed romantic experience from late adolescence to young adulthood by using a representative panel survey. Individuals were divided into six weight change pattern categories according to changes in their body mass i…
Association of Weight With Sociometric Status in Classrooms of Taiwanese Adolescents
This study examined the association between adolescents’ obesity and sociometric status among their peers across 1 year. The participants were 2,528 junior high school students from Taiwan (mean age = 13.31 years). The negative associations discovered between obesity and sociometric status were both concurrent and cumulative. Moreover, the adolescents who changed from nonobese to obese were more likely to have lower social acceptance and be isola…

Delayed Treatment of Diagnosed Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Taiwan
This study found that TB control is generally acceptable in Taiwan; however, delayed treatment increases the risk of transmission. Improving the protocol for managing confirmed TB cases can minimize disease transmission

Personal social networks and HIV status among women on methadone
This objective of this study was to examine the association between a women's HIV status and specific (IDUs) characteristics of her social networks with respect to (1) number of injection drug users (2) number of drug partners and (3) number of HIV-positive contacts in her personal networks, after controlling for the respondent's demographic characteristics and drug use. Participants were recruited through posted announcements in three methadone …
Social Support and Social Network Profiles among Women on Methadone
We examined the network profiles and social supports of 151 women on methadone, exploring to whom women turn for different types of support and how flow of support is associated with the network member's personal and relational characteristics and network structure. Women reported a total of 795 network members, with an average network size of 5.9 individuals. The networks were long‐term, ethnically homogeneous, and of high density. Support withi…
Preventing HIV/Aids in drug-abusing incarcerated women through skills building and social support enhancement
Despite escalating rates of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) among incarcerated women, few jails provide more than minimal HIV prevention programs. This pilot study tested the efficacy of a skills-building and social support enhancement intervention designed to reduce the spread of AIDS among 145 incarcerated women with recent histories of significant drug abuse. Participants were randomly assigned to ei…
