Associations of Depressive Symptoms and Cognitive Levels Among Chinese Empty- and Non-Empty-Nesters: Exploring the Mediating Role of Residential Regions
Using panel data from the 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we explored the impact of depressive symptoms on cognitive levels among middle-aged and older Chinese adults while considering the potential mediating role of residential regions in this relationship. Our findings consistently demonstrate a negative impact of depressive symptoms on cognitive levels, with variations among middle-aged and older adults in urban and rural …
Income and Health in Predicting Older Adults' Social Capabilities in China: The Mediating Role of Social Engagement
Longitudinal transition of body mass index status and its associated factors among Chinese middle-aged and older adults in Markov model
Introduction: Body mass index (BMI) has a strong correlation with chronic diseases and all-cause mortality. However, few studies have previously reported the longitudinal transition of BMI status and its influential factors, especially among Chinese middle-aged and older adults. Methods: This population-based cohort study involved 6,507 participants derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study from 2011 to 2015, including objec…
Prediction of the Old-Age Dependency Ratio in Chinese Cities Using DMSP/OLS Nighttime Light Data
The old-age dependency ratio (ODR) is an important indicator reflecting the degree of a regional population's aging. In the context of aging, this study provides a timely and effective method for predicting the ODR in Chinese cities. Using the provincial ODR from the Seventh National Population Census and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program/Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) nighttime light data, this study aims to predict and analyze th…
Catastrophic health expenditure and health-related quality of life among older adults in China
Older adults have more health-care needs and higher financial burdens but fewer income resources compared to other age groups in China. Meanwhile, substantial inequalities exist between rural and urban older adults in terms of welfare benefits level, access to health care, quality of care and financial resources to pay for health-care services. Using 2011–2013 panel data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study and a difference-in-…
The Divided Chinese Welfare System: Do Health and Education Change the Picture
Using the China Household Income Project 2007 data and imputing health and education benefits through microsimulation, this article provides evidence on how the inclusion of health and education benefits might change the estimated size, structure and redistributive effects of the Chinese social welfare system. We find that the inequalities in social welfare systems across the urban–rural–migrant populations persisted, reinforcing the multidimensi…
