Using the HBSC Symptom Checklist to measure junior secondary school students’ psychosomatic complaints in the Chinese Mainland
The Mandarin Chinese HBSC-SCL demonstrates satisfactory psychometric properties and performs well in the Chinese Mainland context. It provides concise self-reported PSC measures for junior secondary school students, potentially applicable to a broader Chinese-speaking population. Its ease of administration, scoring, and interpretation makes it suitable for routine school monitoring, large-scale population surveys, and clinical applications. Addit…
Relationship between different physical activity parameters and cognitive impairment in middle-aged and older adults
The findings highlight that the frequency, duration, and volume of VPA, MPA, or LPA are linked to the incidence of cognitive impairment. Regular PA may reduce the risk of cognitive impairment in middle-aged and older adults
Association of Leisure Activities with Sleep Duration and Quality in Chinese Older Adults
This study aimed to investigate the association between leisure activities and sleep among older adults, using data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). The data in this study were from the CLHLS in 2018. Seven activities including outdoor activities, gardening work, reading newspapers or books, raising domestic animals or pets, playing cards or mahjong, watching TV or listening to the radio, and participating in social…
Independent and combined associations of depression and cognitive impairment with frailty in oldest-old adults
The findings suggest that depression and cognitive impairment are associated with frailty. The concurrence of depression and cognitive impairment has an additive effect on frailty in oldest-old population
Relationship between anthropometric indicators and cognitive function in older women
The authors aimed to explore the association between anthropometric indicators and cognitive function and determine which aspects of anthropometric indicators are most closely related to cognitive function. A sum of 3269 older women were included in this study. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, calf circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio were obtained to reflect anthropometric indicators. Cognitive function was assesse…
Determining an Indicator of Physical Fitness Age for Middle‐Aged and Older Adults Based on a Nationwide Population‐Based Study in China
To better determine the rate of aging and offer tailored intervention or medical care, it is essential to create a comprehensive indicator that can evaluate physical fitness in middle‐aged and older people. This study aimed to create an indicator of physical fitness age (PFA) that can be used to comprehensively evaluate physical performance and to confirm its validity. There were 5,368 participants in the constructing PFA group and 1,846 particip…
Association of sleep duration with underweight and obesity in older adults
OBJECTIVES: Underweight and obesity are two of the main health concerns as they are associated with adverse health outcomes and nutrition disorders. This study determined the association of sleep duration with both underweight and obesity in Chinese older adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional secondary data analysis was conducted using data from the 2018 wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. There were 13 917 participants age…
Developing a predictive equation of muscular age to evaluate muscle health in Chinese community-dwelling older women
Muscle health plays an important role in most common age-related diseases and injuries. To date, a standardized quantitative method to assess muscle health has not yet been developed. Principal component analysis was employed to develop a predictive equation of muscular age based on muscle health variables including skeletal muscle mass of lower limb, grip strength and maximal gait speed. Then validity of muscular age was tested by comparing chro…
Tackling the ecological footprint in china through energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emission
Age score for assessing motor function in Chinese community-dwelling older women
The study aimed to develop a physical fitness age score to assess motor function in community-dwelling elderly women and verify its validity. Principal component analysis was employed to build a physical fitness age score based on motor function variables. Validation test showed that the physical fitness age in the exercised older women was significantly lower than their chronological age, while no significant difference was observed between the …
Association of Playing Cards or Mahjong with Cognitive Function in Chinese Older Adults
Cognitive decline in older adults is a major public health threat. This study aimed to explore the association of participation in cards or mahjong with cognitive function in older adults. A total of 7308 older adults were selected from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. A modified Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to assess cognitive function. The participants were classified according to the frequency of playing…
Is Subjective Age Associated with Physical Fitness in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Although subjective age has been associated with a range of health-related outcomes, there has been little systematic study on the relationship between the subjective age and physical fitness in a given population. The purpose of this study was to determine the prospective association between subjective age and physical fitness in community-dwelling older adults. A sample of 276 older people who lived in the community was studied. Subjective age …
Developing a predictive equation of cardiovascular age to evaluate cardiovascular health in Chinese community-dwelling women
Cardiovascular health plays a dominant role in shaping the overall health of individuals. Our aim was to develop a predictive equation of cardiovascular age (CVA) and determine its validity. In this study, we developed an equation of CVA based on 101 healthy women by using multiple linear regression analysis. Based on cross-sectional validity tests, we discovered that the mean CVA is remarkably younger than the mean chronological age in the activ…
Effect of telling older adults their predictive physical fitness age on physical activity
Physical activity plays an essential role in preventing diseases and improving overall health. Promoting physical activity has become an important intervention against low physical fitness and chronic diseases in older adults. This study aimed to determine whether telling older people their predictive physical fitness age prompts physical activity. Two hundred and fifty-three older Chinese people were assigned single-blindly to either an interven…
The Associations of Built Environment with Older People Recreational Walking and Physical Activity in a Chinese Small-Scale City of Yiwu
Physical activity would bring in plenty of health benefits, especially recreational physical activity (RPA). Previous studies have suggested that built environment would affect older people's recreational walking (RW) and RPA, but how the effects exist in a small-scale Chinese city remains unclear. Two hundred and fifty-two older participants were recruited in the city of Yiwu using cross-sectional survey of random samples in 2019. RW and RPA lev…
Effect of smoking status on spirometric lung age in adult Chinese Men
Smoking is one of the most unhealthy behaviours and responsible for a variety of respiratory diseases. Although spirometric lung age (SLA) is regarded as an effective way to augment the smoking quit rate in other countries, it has not been calculated in Chinese smokers. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the association of SLA with smoking status, and further explore whether smoking duration, dependence and other factors such as obesity…
