Generational Differences and Demand Preferences for Elder Care Services: A Longitudinal Study in China
The evolving landscape of societal values, living habits, cognitive frameworks, and behavioral patterns across different generations shapes preferences for elder care services. This study explores generational diversities in elder care preferences among Chinese older adults. By utilizing Latent Class Analysis, four distinct types of elder care service demands were identified: Low Demand, Daily Convenience Service Demand, Social and Mental Health …
Data-Driven Causal Pathway Discovery in Alzheimer’s Disease via Mendelian Randomization
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that poses a significant and growing global health challenge due to its multifactorial origin and complex pathophysiological mechanisms. Modern computational biology provides powerful tools to uncover risk factors from large-scale biomedical datasets, yet distinguishing causality from correlation within such observational data remains a fundamental methodological bottleneck. To …
The effect of long-term care insurance on labor force participation among informal caregivers: Evidence from China
To meet the long-term care needs of older people and relieve the pressure of family caregiving, China has launched long-term care insurance (LTCI) pilots. However, it remains uncertain whether and how it affects the labor behavior of informal caregivers. Based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, this study empirically examines the effect of LTCI on labor force participation of informal caregivers using a staggered difference-in…
Does Global Budget promote the construction of integrated healthcare delivery system? Evidence from Sanming, China
This article provides empirical evidence that GB mechanisms can enhance service coordination among different levels of healthcare providers, which provides valuable lessons for promoting integrated healthcare and achieving health equity in China and in low- and middle-income countries
Is the domestic bivalent HPV vaccine cost-effective compared with quadrivalent or nine-valent HPV vaccines in the context of cervical cancer screening? A modeling study
The cost-effective strategy for each vaccine type was vaccination combined with three-year VIA screening compared with the current situation. Comparing the three optimal strategies, it was found that bivalent HPV vaccine combined with three-year VIA screening is the most cost-effective prevention strategy at this stage when the willingness to pay is low, and with the gradual increase in willingness to pay, the nine-valent HPV vaccine combined wit…
Can single disease payment impact hospitalization expenses and quality in district hospital? A case study in Fujian, China
After the implementation of SDP in district hospitals, considerable progress has been achieved in restraining medical expenses, coupled with notable enhancements in both medical quality and patient satisfaction levels. However, challenges persist regarding cost structure optimization and underutilization of medical resources. This study suggests that district hospitals can expedite insurance payment reform by optimizing drug procurement policies,…
Forecasting Informal care needs of the urban-rural older adults in China based on microsimulation model
From 2020 to 2040, the informal care needs of older people in rural areas will increase first and then decrease due to the demographic structure and rapid urbanization. In contrast, the informal care needs of older people in urban areas will continuously increase from 2020 to 2040, with the growth rate gradually slowing down. This study provides an evidence-based rationale for scientifically measuring the economic value of informal care and reaso…
Spatial–temporal distribution patterns and influencing factors analysis of comorbidity prevalence of chronic diseases among middle-aged and elderly people in China: Focusing on exposure to ambient fin…
PM 2.5 content, as a risk factor, should be given special attention, taking into account regional factors. In the future, policy-makers should develop stricter air pollution control policies based on different regional economic, demographic, and geographic factors, while promoting public education, increasing public transportation, and urban green coverage
Non-human and human service efficiency of long-term care facilities in China
Introduction: Care services provided by long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are currently plagued by care resource shortages and insufficient utilization. The analysis on the temporal and spatial distribution of human resources and non-human resources in LTCFs, could provide a basis to optimize resource allocation and efficient use of limited resources. Methods: This study used data envelopment analysis to comprehensively evaluate the efficiency of…
Expenditure projections for community home-based care services for older adults with functional decline in China
The escalating cost of providing graded care for older adults, particularly by family caregivers, presenting a significant evidence for the need to optimize resource allocation and develop a robust human resources plan for community home-based care
Research on the optimization of financing scheme of long-term care insurance in China based on system dynamics simulation
Objective: The aging population in China highlights the significance of long-term care insurance (LTCI). This study provides policy suggestions for China to establish a sustainable LTCI financing mechanism by predicting the trend of funds balance and screening the appropriate financing scheme. Method: A system dynamics model (SDM) of LTCI funds was constructed by clarifying the current situation and its main influencing factors of revenue and exp…
Multidimensional Disability Evaluation and Confirmatory Analysis of Older Adults in a Home-Based Community in China
A robust multi-dimensional disability assessment standard was constructed to consider physical condition, care resources, and social interaction that might lead to disability, to provide a basis for accurate identification of care needs for older people aged 60 and above in a home-based community. Based on the “Capability approach” theory, the Alkire-Foster method was applied to assess the multidimensional disability. This was followed by the con…
Research on Financing Mechanism of Long-Term Care Insurance in Xiamen, China: A System Dynamics Simulation
Objective: This study aimed to predict the changing trend of long-term care insurance (LTCI) funds by clarifying the linkage between revenue and expenditure and its influencing factors and to provide evidence for the establishment of a sustainable LTCI financing mechanism in China. Method: We have taken Xiamen as an example, based on the data from Xiamen Special Economic Zone Yearbook and field survey. The changing trend of LTCI funds is predicte…
Urban–Rural Differences in Long-Term Care Service Status and Needs Among Home-Based Elderly People in China
The aged cohort in urban-rural distinction were facing an increasing need for immediate care due to the inadequate support being provided, especially among rural elderly. The oldest elderly in rural areas had higher LTC needs, and different levels of needs were affected by age, economic level, family support, health status and other related effects. This study provides evidence-based recommendation for further improving the construction and devel…
Analysis of the Influencing Factors on the Preferences of the Elderly for the Combination of Medical Care and Pension in Long-Term Care Facilities Based on the Andersen Model
The preference of the elderly for CMCP are lower compared to their preference for home care in Xiamen, China. Preference for CMCP is affected by a range of factors such as age, education level, residence, income, and self-care ability, among which the enabling factors have the greatest impact
Evaluating the technical efficiency of care among long-term care facilities in Xiamen, China: Based on data envelopment analysis and Tobit model
The overall TE of LTCF in Xiamen of China was relatively high, especially in private institutions. However, LTCF still needs to further improve the utilization of physical resources and the management and training of human resources. The TE of LTCF was associated to their location, institutional nature, allocation of human resources and occupancy rate. It was needed to focus on promoting the efficiency and quality of LTCF in order to achieve sust…
