The proactive health behavior and somatic functional status in Chinese rural chronic patients
Background: As chronic diseases become more prevalent in rural China, maintaining health and functional capacity has become a major challenge. In this context, individual proactive health behaviors (PHB) may play a crucial role. However, the mechanisms through which PHB influence somatic functional status (SFS) are still unclear. Particularly, the role of social participation (SP) in this process remains unexplored. Methods: A cross-sectional sur…
The longitudinal relationship between night-time sleep duration, midday napping, and frailty among middle-aged and older people in China
Background: Frailty is an important issue presented by ageing. Night-time sleep and midday napping are important modifiable factors influencing health, but their impacts on frailty remain unclear. Methods: We used five waves of data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011-20), with 15 333 participants in the baseline sample. We used fixed effects regression models to explore longitudinal relationships between night-time slee…
Dynamic cross-lagged effects between healthy lifestyles and multimorbidity among middle-aged and older adults in China
Our study demonstrates dynamic cross-lagged effect exists between healthy lifestyles and chronic diseases status in middle-aged and older Chinese. Disease trajectories and lifestyle-disease interplay reveal critical time-sensitive windows for intervention. Early-stage lifestyle promotion could delay progression, whereas later-stage disease management requires system-level strategies addressing urban-rural healthcare disparities and self-efficacy …
Effects of negative emotions and information perceived value on residents' risk perception during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has spread rapidly and heavily hit the globe, and the mutation and transmission speed of the coronavirus have accelerated so that the world is still in danger. Thus, this study aims to investigate the participants' risk perception and explore the associations of risk perception of COVID-19 with negative emotions, information value perception and other related dimensions. Methods A cross-sectional, population-based…

The economic burden of malaria inpatients and its determinants during China's elimination stage
Background: Malaria burden is still worrisome, while empirical evidence from malaria-eliminated countries including China may provide inspiration for the world. Objective: This study aimed to investigate China's malaria hospitalization costs and explore its determinants. Methods: Stratified multistage sampling across provincial, municipal, and county hospitals was conducted in 2017. All the malaria medical records were retrieved from 2014 to 2016…
Improving the utilization of essential public health services by Chinese elderly migrants
BACKGROUND: The concept of healthy aging has become a global health strategy in response to the population aging. In China, old-aged migrants are facing serious health care challenges due to the obstacles in the utilization of health services, social integration and ignored public policies. We aimed to examine the old-aged migrants' utilization of the essential public health services and its underlying factors on account of change of residence, a…
The Recommended and Excessive Preventive Behaviors during the Covid-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 presents unprecedented challenges to the global public health response. Preventive behaviors and keeping social distance are regarded as compelling ways to prevent COVID-19. This study focused on the sociological and psychological factors associated with proper and excessive preventive behaviors of the COVID-19 outbreak in China. For the sample, we collected the data of 4788 participants who were surveyed between 4 April and 15 April 202…
Social Support and Health Services Use in People Aged over 65 Years Migrating within China
Elderly migrants with a longer migrating duration or migrated for offspring seem to obtain less outer social support, resulting in a decreased use of health services. Outer social support was suggested as a key effort to improve the equalization of health services in Chinese elderly migrants
Prevalence of Smoking among Men in Ethiopia and Kenya
While tobacco use remains the largest single cause of premature death in the industrialized countries, low-and-middle income countries are also experiencing a rising burden of the tobacco epidemic and are making various programmatic efforts to tackle the issue. Evidence-based policy making is critical to the long-term success of tobacco intervention programs and is reliant on regular monitoring of the trends and prevalence rates of tobacco use th…
Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain, Self-Reported Health and Quality of Life among Older Populations in South Africa and Uganda
Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is a serious health concern especially among the elderly population and has significant bearing on health and quality of life. Not much is known about the relationship between chronic pain with self-reported health and quality of life among older populations in low-resource settings. Based on sub-national data from South Africa and Uganda, the present study aimed to explore whether the older population living wi…
Knowledge about mother–to–child transmission of HIV, its prevention and associated factors among Ethiopian women
BACKGROUND: Poor awareness and knowledge of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT),that accounts for over 90% of new HIV infections among children, might contribute to the HIV epidemics. In Ethiopia, 898 400 children are orphaned due to HIV and AIDS and 200 300 were living with HIV in 2013. The main objective of this study was to examine the knowledge of MTCT of HIV, its prevention (PMTCT) and associated factors among Ethiopian women. METHODS: We co…
Prevalence of Tobacco Smoking and Determinants of Success in Quitting Smoking among Patients with Chronic Diseases
Tobacco use is one of the behavioral risk factors for chronic diseases. The aim of the study was to investigate smoking prevalence in chronically ill residents and their smoking behavior in western rural China, to identify factors associated with success in quitting smoking, and to provide appropriate intervention strategies for tobacco control.

Factors associated with male involvement in reproductive care in Bangladesh
Level of male involvement was associated with schooling experience, type of residency and exposure to electronic media. National health policy programs aimed at promoting male involvement in reproductive care should focus on improving knowledge and awareness of reproductive health though community health education programs with a special focus in the rural areas
What Contributes to the Regularity of Patients with Hypertension or Diabetes Seeking Health Services? A Pilot Follow-Up, Observational Study in Two Sites in Hubei Province, China
Regular maintenance of non-communicable chronic diseases can constrain disease progression in diabetic and hypertensive patients. To identify the individual and social factors that are associated with positive health-seeking behaviors and regular maintenance of chronic diseases, we have conducted a follow up study in 2015 on diabetic and hypertensive patients in Hubei Province. We used binary logistic regression models to determine specific facto…
What Contributes to the Activeness of Ethnic Minority Patients with Chronic Illnesses Seeking Allied Health Services? A Cross-Sectional Study in Rural Western China
Actively seeking health services lies at the core of effective models of chronic disease self-management and contributes to promoting the utilization of allied health services (AHS). However, the use of AHS by ethnic minority Chinese, especially the elderly living in rural areas, has not received much attention. This study, therefore, aims to explore the association between personal characteristics and the activeness of ethnic minority patients w…
Factors Associated with the Competencies of Public Health Workers in Township Hospitals
The competencies of the township hospital staff in Chongqing Municipality (China), are generally insufficient, therefore, regulating the medical education and training skills of PHWs is crucial to improve the competencies of PHWs in the township hospitals of Chongqing Municipality. The results of this study can be mirrored in other areas of China
