Mortality risk effects of ozone and meteorological factors
Background Tropospheric ozone (O3) is increasingly becoming the dominant urban air pollutant in China, posing significant public health risks that are exacerbated by meteorological conditions. A clear understanding of how O3-related health effects are modified by atmospheric factors is crucial for targeted risk mitigation. Methods This ten-year time-series study (2013–2022) was conducted in Taiyuan, China. We analyzed data on daily O3 concentrati…
The impact of education on health transitions, life expectancy, and healthy life expectancy among older adults in China
This paper aims to explore the impact of education on health transitions, Life Expectancy (LE), and Healthy Life Expectancy (HLE) among older adults in China. Data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey were utilized. Multi-state Markov models with continuous time were employed to estimate how education impacts health transitions, HLE, LE and the ratio of HLE to LE (HLE/LE). Individuals with no schooling were significantly more li…
Bidirectional associations between social isolation, loneliness, and cognitive function among Chinese older adults
Background: Social isolation (SI), loneliness, and cognitive function (CF) are increasingly acknowledged as significant public health concerns globally. In this study, we aimed to investigate the bidirectional relationships and mediating effects between SI, loneliness, and CF among older adults in China. Methods: We analysed data from six waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey conducted between 2002-18. The sample included ind…
Age and cohort trends in disability among Chinese older adults
Objective: This study aimed to examine age and cohort trends in disability among Chinese older adults and explore the disablement process factors that may explain the cohort trends in disability. Methods: This study used data from five waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). A hierarchical logistic growth model was used to analyze the A-P-C effects and the contributors of cohort trends. Results: ADL, IADL, and FL among…
Decomposing the change in the cognitive function gap between older men and women over time in China
Background: This study explored how modifiable social determinants of cognitive function can influence these gender gaps. Methods: We utilized six waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), including 56,127 individuals aged 65+. The Kitagawa-Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition approach was used for the analysis. Results: Older women consistently had lower average levels of cognitive function than men in each period, but the gap …
Does long-term care insurance reduce the disability among middle-aged and older adults? Evidence from China
This study aimed to examine whether the implementation of Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) policy could reduce the disability among middle-aged and older adults in China, and to test the heterogeneity of the effects. Data came from four waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS, 2011 to 2018). The Difference-In-Differences (DID) method and the panel data fixed effect model were used to estimate the effect of implementatio…
The effect of basic medical insurance on the changes of primary care seeking behavior
In order to encourage residents to go to primary care facilities, China has set up differentiated basic medical insurance reimbursement ratios. The study aims to use the dynamic point of view of longitudinal data to examine the changes in the impact of basic medical insurance on primary care. The data for this study comes from the Chinese Family Panel Study (CFPS) in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018. We adopted Hierarchal Age-period-cohort-Cross-…
A New Nonlinear Photothermal Iterative Theory for Port-Wine Stain Detection
The development of appropriate photothermal detection of skin diseases to meet complex clinical demands is an urgent challenge for the prevention and therapy of skin cancer. An extensive body of literature has ignored all high-order harmonics above the second order and their influences on low-order harmonics. In this paper, a new iterative numerical method is developed for solving the nonlinear thermal diffusion equation to improve nonlinear phot…
Traditional Conservation and Storage Methods for Ancient Chinese Painting and Calligraphy on Silk Manuscripts
This study investigated traditional conservation and storage methods for Chinese silk manuscripts containing painting and calligraphy from the Warring States period (475–221 BC), the Qin dynasty (221–207 BC), the Han dynasty (202–8 BC; AD 25–220), and from the end of the Han to the present. At present, there is gap in the literature regarding the application of such methods to these works. The study methods include a literature review (classical …
Functional role of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in procedural motor learning
Procedural motor learning includes sequence learning and random learning. Neuroimaging studies have shown that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and primary motor cortex (M1) play significant roles in procedural motor learning; however, the connectivity between the DLPFC and M1 and its relationship with different procedural motor learning are still unclear. In this study, the serial response time task (SRTT) and transcranial magnetic sti…
