Individual and household determinants of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in China
Background: Overweight and obesity among children and adolescents are a global concern. Research on the combined influence of individual and household factors on overweight and obesity among children and adolescents across China remains relatively limited, especially regarding parental social capital. This study aims to identify the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in China and explore related individual and hou…
Ambient PM2.5, residential greenspace, and household healthcare expenditure in Shandong, China
BACKGROUND: Environmental factors such as air pollution and access to greenspace are increasingly recognised as important determinants of population health and healthcare expenditure. This study examined the relationship between ambient PM2.5, urban greenspace, and household healthcare expenditure in China, and assessed how healthcare expenditure was concentrated across these gradients of environmental exposure. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sect…
Residential greenspace and multiple chronic health conditions in China
Background: Multiple chronic conditions are imposing an increasing health and economic burden on the Chinese health system. While exposure to residential greenness has been shown to provide various health benefits, its relationship with multiple chronic conditions remains largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate this relationship using high-resolution satellite imagery and data from the 6th Health Services Survey (HSS) cohort in Shandon…
Willingness to pay for assisted reproductive technologies among individuals with infertility in China
Infertility, a widely prevalent condition globally, incurs high economic burdens. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) are effective treatments, but public health financing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) rarely covers ART services. In China, where birth rates are declining, willingness to pay (WTP) can inform insurance reimbursement policies by reducing out-of-pocket expenses. However, there is no consensus on WTP thresholds for…

Equity in healthcare financing following the introduction of the unified residents’ health insurance scheme in China
This study sought to explore whether there are significant disparities in the financing of healthcare between urban and rural populations following the introduction in 2016 of the Urban and Rural Resident Basic Medical Insurance (URRBMI) scheme in China. We used household survey data from Heilongjiang province to estimate separate concentration curves in the financing burden and the resultant Kakwani indices (KIs) for urban and rural populations.…
Acute Stress Disorder Among Frontline Health Professionals During the Covid-19 Outbreak
OBJECTIVE: The outbreak of COVID-19 that commenced in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, has caused extensive public health concerns and posed substantial challenges to health professionals, especially for those in the center of the epidemic. The current study aimed to assess the prevalence, related factors, and mechanism of acute stress disorder (ASD) among health professionals in Wuhan during this critical period. METHODS: The study used a cross-se…
Health service utilization and direct healthcare costs associated with obesity in older adult population in Ghana
Obesity is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases and disabilities, with severe implications on morbidity and mortality among older adults. With an increasing prevalence of obesity among older adults in Ghana, it has become necessary to develop cost-effective strategies for its management and prevention. However, developing such strategies is challenging as body mass index (BMI)-specific utilization and costs required for cost-effectivenes…
