Association of healthy lifestyle and physical fitness in children: A nationwide population-based cross-sectional study
Objective Although a healthy lifestyle is closely linked to various health outcomes in children and adolescents, its specific connection to physical fitness remains poorly understood. Methods This nationwide cross-sectional study evaluated data from 60,177 children across 27 provinces in China from 2015 to 2016. Health Lifestyle Score (HLS) assessed four key lifestyle factors: healthy eating, sufficient sleep, regular physical activity, and limit…
Substitute or complement? Quantity–quality effects of agricultural production diversity and market access on diets
In many developing countries, rural households meet their food needs through both self-production and market purchases, but evidence on the relative and joint roles of these channels in shaping dietary diversity and dietary quality remains limited. Using household panel data from rural China spanning 2004–2011, we provide micro-level evidence from a major developing-country context to examine the quantity–quality effects of agricultural productio…
Global burden, quality of care, and cross-country inequalities in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias from 1990 to 2021
Background: As global populations age, the burden of dementia increases, raising challenges for healthcare systems. Care quality is key to supporting individuals with dementia, but few studies have assessed this at a global level. We aimed to assess the burden and care quality of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs) and cross-country inequalities between 1990 and 2021. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of the Global Burden o…

Prevalence of childhood hypertension and associated factors in Zhejiang Province: A cross-sectional analysis based on random forest model and logistic regression
With childhood hypertension emerging as a global public health concern, understanding its associated factors is crucial. This study investigated the prevalence and associated factors of hypertension among Chinese children. This cross-sectional investigation was conducted in Pinghu, Zhejiang province, involving 2,373 children aged 8-14 years from 12 schools. Anthropometric measurements were taken by trained staff. Blood pressure (BP) was measured …
Patterns of pediatric and adolescent female genital inflammation in China: An eight-year retrospective study of 49,175 patients in China
Background Genital inflammation is one of the most frequent clinical complaints among girls, which was easily overlooked by the general public. This study aimed to investigate the patterns and epidemiological characteristics of pediatric and adolescent female genital inflammation in China. Methods A retrospective observational study (2011 to 2018) was conducted among all female patients under the age of 0–18 years at the Department of Pediatric a…
Spousal concordance in adverse childhood experiences and the association with depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older adults: Findings across China, the US, and Europe
Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with higher depressive risks in adulthood. Whether respondents' ACEs are associated with their own depressive symptoms in adulthood and whether this association extends to their spouses' depressive symptoms remain unexplored. Methods: Data were from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), and the Survey of Health, Ageing and Ret…
Parental adherence to healthy lifestyles in relation to the risk of obesity in offspring: A prospective cohort study in China
Background: While maternal adherence to a healthy lifestyle was shown to be associated with a lower risk of obesity in offspring, the potential role of overall parental lifestyles has not yet been explored. We aimed to address this gap by exploring whether parental adherence to an overall healthy lifestyle was associated with a lower risk of obesity in offspring. Methods: . We defined obesity according to the age- and gender-specific cutoffs by t…
Longitudinal association between home and community‐based services provision and cognitive function in Chinese older adults: Evidence from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey
Few studies have assessed the impact of home and community-based services (HCBSs) provision on cognitive function among older adults over time. This study examined the longitudinal association between HCBSs provision and cognitive function in Chinese older adults. The study included 5,134 participants aged 65 years and older in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey from 2008 to 2014. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used t…

Dietary flavonoids and flavonoid-rich foods: Validity and reproducibility of FFQ-derived intake estimates
Objective: To evaluate the validity and reproducibility of a 152-item semi-quantitative FFQ (SFFQ) for estimating flavonoid intakes. Design: Over a 1-year period, participants completed two SFFQ and two weighed 7-d dietary records (7DDR). Flavonoid intakes from the SFFQ were estimated separately using Harvard (SFFQ Harvard ) and Phenol-Explorer (SFFQ PE ) food composition databases. 7DDR flavonoid intakes were derived using the Phenol-Explorer da…
Cycle Tracks and Parking Environments in China: Learning from College Students at Peking University
China has a historic system of wide cycle tracks, many of which are now encroached by cars, buses and bus stops. Even with these conditions, college students still bicycle. On campuses, students park their bikes on facilities ranging from kick-stand-plazas to caged sheds with racks, pumps and an attendant. In other countries, including Canada, some of the newer cycle tracks need to be wider to accommodate an increasing number of bicyclists. Other…
