  • A cohort study of self-perception of ageing and all-cause mortality among older adults in China

    Open AccessJunling Gao, Huashuai Chen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    In this cohort study, we found that high positive SPA was associated with decreased all-cause mortality directly, and indirectly through healthy lifestyle behaviors and social participation. These findings suggest that interventions targeted at promoting or maintaining positive SPA may contribute to healthy ageing among older adults in China

  • How long were older people expected to live with or without sarcopenia? Multistate modeling of a national cohort study

    Open AccessBo Ye, Yujie Wang et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Objectives: Sarcopenia is well known to be associated with mortality, but there is a lack of evidence on the estimates of life expectancy (LE) for sarcopenia in China. This study aims to estimate total life expectancy (TLE) and sarcopenia-specific LE in community-dwelling older Chinese adults with and without sarcopenia. Methods: This study included participants aged 60 years and older who enrolled in the cohort in 2011 and 2013 and at least comp…

  • Associations between trajectories of social participation and functional ability among older adults

    Open AccessJiaqin Xu, Jixiang Xu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Introduction: Functional ability (FA) and social participation (SP) are important indicators of healthy aging, both their trajectories are heterogeneous. It is little known about how the SP trajectories affects FA trajectories. Methods: FA was assessed by 20 items covering the ability of meeting basic needs and mobility. SP was assessed by frequency of participating in 10 social activities. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was used to ident…

  • Association between resilience and frailty among Chinese older adults

    Open AccessYujie Wang, Yingwei Chen et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Higher strength was associated with lower chance of being pre-frail and frail among Chinese older adults. This finding implies that community-based training programs aiming to enhance psychological resilience, especially strength, may contribute to healthy aging. Future studies should examine the effects of resilience on frailty using longitudinal or experimental study designs in cross-cultural contexts

  • Association Between Sense of Coherence and Frailty

    Open AccessHao Chen, Hua Fu et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    SOC may be a protective factor against frailty. Improving SOC may be a strategy to prevent frailty among Chinese community-dwelling older adults

  • Association between Age-Friendliness of Communities and Frailty among Older Adults

    Open AccessJixiang Xu, Yingwei Chen et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    An age-friendly environment is one of the measures of healthy aging. However, there is scarce evidence of the relationship between the age-friendliness of communities (AFC) and frailty status among Chinese older adults. This study aims to examine this relationship using a multilevel analysis with the data of a cross-sectional study conducted among 10,958 older adults living in 43 communities in four cities in China. The validated Age-friendly Com…
