    Despite the recognized importance of social connections in Chinese culture, research on how childhood peer relationship deficits impact health later in life has been limited.

    Open AccessZi Zhou, Rodlescia SneedARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2024References: 2

    Friendship experiences during childhood were related to the risk of depressive symptoms in older Chinese adults; more importantly, social disconnectedness and cognitive function partially mediated this association. Thus, improving social engagement and cognitive function in older adults could alleviate the accumulated disadvantages due to childhood friendship deficits and help to improve their psychological well-being

  • Application of SCM with Bayesian B-Spline to Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Hypertension in China

    Open AccessZirong Ye, Li Xu et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    Most previous research on the disparities of hypertension risk has neither simultaneously explored the spatio-temporal disparities nor considered the spatial information contained in the samples, thus the estimated results may be unreliable. Our study was based on the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), including residents over 12 years old in seven provinces from 1991 to 2011. Bayesian B-spline was used in the extended shared component mod…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the current rates of access to mobile tools (Internet use and mobile phone ownership) …
