Exploring Chinese Family Caregivers’ Experience as They Support Loved Ones With Dementia Transitioning Into Nursing Homes
For Asian American family caregivers, transitioning loved ones with dementia into a U.S. nursing home can be particularly challenging due to cultural expectations and the scarcity of linguistically and culturally appropriate care. This qualitative study, focusing on the largest Asian American community, examined the experiences of Chinese family caregivers navigating this transition, using thematic analysis of twelve semi-structured interviews co…
Gendered Impact of Layoffs on Body Weight Trajectories in Transitional China
Layoffs can have lasting effects on the bodyweight trajectories of both genders. However, prior studies usually overlook the nuanced gender differences in health impacts. This study investigates the differential impact of layoffs from State-Owned Enterprises in China on body mass index (BMI) trajectories in men and women over a span of two decades. Our results indicate that being laid-off was associated with higher BMI at mid-age and accelerated …

Using longitudinal data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey spa…

Influences of age, ethnicity and spirituality on Active Ageing are also unexplored. Using the Active Ageing Index (AAI), this study examines whether the level of Active Ageing predicted the actual activity lev…
