The effects of microplastics exposure on the growth and development of children
Microplastics (MPs), as emerging environmental pollutants, found from the deepest oceans to the highest mountains, and crucially, within the human body, have attracted increasing attention due to their widespread presence and potential health impacts. This review addresses the multifaceted influence of MP exposure on endocrine regulation, gut microecology, the potential transgenerational effects, and child growth and development. Firstly, the sou…

Just Right or Too Much? The Curvilinear Effects of Person–Environment Fit on Subjective Well‐Being Among Chinese Older Adults
China's accelerating population aging has sparked growing interest in the subjective well‐being (SWB) of older adults. Much of the existing literature on aging in place demonstrates that person–environment (P–E) fit significantly influences their SWB. However, little research has examined the effects in a potential curvilinear form. Using data from the 2023 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS), this study developed a comprehensive measu…
The Typology of Urban Polycentricity
Prevailing theories and empirical studies have suggested that the internal spatial structures of large cities have transformed from monocentric to polycentric. However, the existing literature primarily focuses on the definition, measurement, and quantity of the urban centers, with a lack of in-depth comparison of urban polycentricity in terms of dynamic centralization or dispersion. By analyzing the spatial distribution of firms in 35 large Chin…

A novel multimodal deep learning-based direct ridership model for planning-oriented demand prediction in urban rail transit networks
Health Literacy Among Late‐Life Migrants in China
China is experiencing rapid population aging alongside large‐scale internal migration. In this context, the health literacy (HL) of late‐life migrants is a crucial yet understudied issue of healthy aging. Drawing on the data from 814 late‐life migrants aged 50 or above from the 2016 China Migrants Dynamic Survey, this study employed multiple linear regression models to examine how migration characteristics—at the individual, community, and city l…
The geography of older adults' migration in China
China is ageing rapidly, and its large‐scale internal migration process continues. These two interwoven processes pose serious, yet understudied, challenges for the country. Based on the 1% national population survey conducted in 2015, this study aimed to examine the scale, spatial patterns and forces driving the migration of older adults (over‐60‐year‐olds) in China. The findings reveal that the scale of older adults' migration in China is notab…
Understanding the Relationship between Neighbourhood Built Environment and Older Adults’ Health from the Perspective of Housing Differentiation
Studies have revealed an association between the built environment and the health of older adults. However, few studies distinguish between the objective and perceived built environments and explore their associations with older adults’ health, especially when considering housing differentiation. Drawing on a survey of 426 older adults in ten residential neighbourhoods in Dongfeng Township, Beijing, this study employed structural equation modelli…
How does social integration work when older migrants obtain health services from community? Evidence from national database in China
Background The roles of community are often overlooked when studying the older migrants' health issues, and more importantly, the mediating effect of social integration on the health of older migrants were rarely investigated empirically. Methods This study developed comprehensive index to explore this relationship. With data from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey, the study first examined the potential linkage between community-based health…
Residents, Employees and Visitors
Objectives: The residential population of an area is an incomplete measure of the number of people that are momentarily present in the area, and of limited value as an indicator of exposure to the risk of crime. By accounting for the mobility of the population, measures of ambient population better reflect the momentary presence of people. They have therefore become an alternative indicator of exposure to the risk of crime. This study considers t…

Convergence effect of the Belt and Road Initiative on income disparity
The international economic effects of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) have received much attention, but few studies have focused on the impact of the BRI on domestic regional income disparities. Here, a theoretical framework is proposed based on the logic of public policy analysis in economic geography aiming at studying the impact of the BRI on the convergence of inter-city income disparities in China. Specifically, taking the BRI as a quasi-…

Effects of climate change on a subtropical montane peatland over the last two centuries
Climate variability can induce rapid changes in peatland ecosystems, affecting both carbon cycling and vegetation succession. Diatoms are an important group of ubiquitous and diverse algae in peatlands. Until now, the responses of diatom communities to climate variability have rarely been explored in peatlands, especially in subtropical regions. In this study, monitoring and paleolimnological datasets were combined to decipher environmental chang…

Greater adherence to a Mediterranean-like diet is associated with later breast development and menarche in peripubertal girls
Objective: To examine adherence to a Mediterranean-like diet at age 9–10 years in relation to onset of breast development (thelarche) and first menstruation (menarche). Design: We evaluated the associations of adherence to a Mediterranean-like diet (measured by an adapted Mediterranean-like Diet Score, range 0–9) with thelarche at baseline, age at thelarche and time to menarche. Data were collected at baseline during a clinic visit, complemented …
Visual cues of the built environment and perceived stress among a cohort of black breast cancer survivors
We investigated relationships between independently observed, visual cues of residential environments and subsequent participant-reported stress within a population-based cohort of Black breast cancer survivors (n = 476). Greater visual cues of engagement - presence of team sports, yard decorations, outdoor seating - (compared to less engagement) was marginally associated with lower perceived stress in univariate models, but attenuated towards nu…
City Profile
Located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Sichuan Province of southwest China, Panzhihua, a prefectural-level city, was the first Special Zone selected for resource development in China after 1949. This Special Zone city has been developed based on its rich mineral resources. After more than 60 years of struggle, Panzhihua has been transformed from an industrial city dominated by mineral resource–related industries into a diversified e…

Say-on-Pay Votes
We investigate the association between the media coverage of firms’ CEO pay packages and subsequent shareholder voting on say-on-pay resolutions, and find that negative media coverage is able to predict shareholder discontent over say on pay. When we divide media coverage into coverage in the financial and business press versus coverage in the general press, we find that shareholder voting on say-on-pay resolutions is mainly associated with the a…

The Location Dynamics of Firms in Transitional Shanghai, 1978-2005
China’s economic reform started in 1978 has brought in profound changes to firms by transforming the state-owned-enterprises and by encouraging the growth of the non-state sector business. These changes have been accompanied by broader institutional changes and economic restructuring in the cities, especially in the larger ones. This paper focuses on the changing spatial distribution patterns and the underlying location factors of firms in differ…
Emerging Polycentricity in Beijing
This paper examines the emerging multiple centre urban spatial structure in Beijing using housing price variation as an indicator. A random sample of 3783 apartment units was used. These apartments were recent sales in 2001, 2003 and 2005. The dataset included transaction prices and main housing attributes gathered from the Beijing Construction Committee. A hedonic price model was calibrated to investigate the importance of the different urban ce…
