Body weight misperception and academic performance in Chinese adolescents (2007–2022)
Introduction: Body weight misperception is increasingly prevalent among adolescents, yet the association between weight misperception and academic performances is unclear. This study aims to examine the association among weight misperception and academic performances among Chinese adolescents and estimate the mediating effect of loneliness on this association. Methods: This repeated cross-sectional study uses data of adolescents aged 13-19 years,…
Adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines and its association with the risk of overweight and obesity in Chinese adolescents
The 24-h movement guidelines (24HGs) were developed to promote healthy lifestyles to improve the overall health status in children and youth. The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of adherence to the 24HGs among Chinese adolescents from 2007 to 2022 and to investigate the associations of both overall adherence and the combinations of guideline components with the risk of overweight (OW) and obesity (OB). A multistage sampling pro…
Political cycles’ impact on Chinese local governments’ environmental expenditures
Combined patterns of physical activity, screen-based sedentary behaviour, and sleep duration and their associations with depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents
Background: Depression is a growing public health burden and is one of the leading causes of disability and illness in adolescents. Lifestyle factors are associated with depressive symptoms (DSs) in adolescents. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of DSs and investigate the independent and combined associations between DSs and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), screen-based sedentary time (ST), and sleep duration (SLD) among C…
Children’s birth weight and the risk of general obesity and central obesity in primary school children
Background: Childhood overweight (OW) and obesity (OB) have become a serious public health concern worldwide. The objective of this study is to investigate the association between the levels of birth weight (BW) and OB and central OB in Chinese primary school children. Methods: A school-based longitudinal study was conducted from 2016 to 2019. Information of children and parents were gained from both children and parents' questionnaires. Longitud…
Medical treatment cost for Chinese inpatients with colorectal cancer by sites
Background: The increasing prevalence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is a challenge for China's healthcare system. Using hospitalization data from Ningbo, China, this study aims to estimate the medical treatment cost and cost structure of CRC based on tumor sites to gain insights with respect to the cost efficiency of early diagnosis. Methods: A retrospective observational study was performed in a real-life clinical setting of a tertiary hospital in …
Association between short-term exposure to ambient air pollutants and the risk of hospital visits for acute upper respiratory tract infections among adults
Exposure to ambient air pollution was significantly associated with hospital visits for AURTIs. This study provides epidemiological evidence for policymakers to control better air quality and establish an enhanced system of air pollution alerts
Cartelization under present bias and imperfect public signals
This paper explores the impact of present bias on trigger pricing strategies that are used to support a cartel in a market where firms can only observe a noisy price signal. The present bias of firm management is modelled by using quasi-hyperbolic discounting that the discount factor between the present and next period is βδ, and between any two adjacent periods later it is δ. We demonstrate that there is a threshold value β̲(δ), which is decreas…
