Trends in energy and macronutrient intake among Taiwanese older adults in 1999–2000, 2005–2008 and 2013–2016 periods
Our study provides important evidence on the dietary patterns, as well as their changes over time among Taiwanese older adults. Such information would be useful for health policy makers about the burden of unbalanced diet and for nutrition educators on planning nutrition promotion interventions about well-balanced dietary for the older persons
Thinking differently with Chinese medicine
In Mandarin, the English word 'nature' translates as ' ziran ' (zìrán) in science, biomedicine and everyday life. At the same time, ziran indexes a second older set of meanings that make little immediate sense in English. Current in many Chinese medical practices as well as in classical Chinese philosophy, these include 'what is spontaneously so' or 'let the character of the self unfold'. In this article we explore how these two families of meani…
Frailty status changes are associated with healthcare utilization and subsequent mortality in the elderly population
The conditions associated with frailty status, either after 1 year or at baseline, significantly affected the outpatient visits and may have increased medical expenditures. Combined change in frailty status and number of outpatient visits is related to increased mortality

Present-day academic work is mostly done in English.What happens, or so the contributions to this monograph ask, when we open a few windows, let in some air, and invite elements drawn from other linguistic traditions into our texts?Doing so does not simply mean welcoming other words.Along with this it also changes the conditions, the terms, that stipulate what is, and what is not, good -proper, interesting, international, academic -writing.To exe…
War and balance
English language and its warlike knowing apparatuses dominate global academic practice, including the repertoire of critique in social sciences. But what might be done about this? The paradox is that if we fight this, we simply rehearse the same logic of antagonism. This article tries to avoid this bind, experimenting instead with an alternative apparatus - an approach that values the art of balancing. In presenting this approach, shi-as-reasonin…
Where Is East Asia in STS
The international spread of STS has reshaped the discipline in many ways, pushing it from its original core focus on technoscience in Euro-America to embrace new and wider agendas in other locations. For the practitioners of STS in East Asia, the complex relations between geographical region and forms of knowledge in technoscience are firmly on the agenda, and they have conceptualized these in a range of different and sometimes contradictory ways…
The Stickiness of Knowing
A language, a culture, or a thought, in its divergence, furnishes other engagements with (another glimpse of) the unthought. And its fecundity is measured by the power of this engagement and this g
Provincializing Sts
STS is not short of studies on postcoloniality. Collectively the discipline has explored how technoscience works differently in different global locations, and fine case studies have explored postc
Shi (勢), STS, and Theory
How might science and technology studies and science, technology and society studies (STS) learn from its studies of other knowledge traditions? This article explores this question by looking at Chinese medicine (CM). The latter has been under pressure from modernization and "scientization" for a century, and the dynamics of these pressures have been explored "symmetrically" within STS and related disciplines. But in this work, CM has been the "t…
We Have Never Been Latecomers!? Making Knowledge Spaces for East Asian Technosocial Practices
Famously, Bruno Latour (1993) argued that "we have never been modern" and proposed instead that modernity balances or oscillates between the purity that it claims to be attached to on the one hand
Successful aging defined by health-related quality of life and its determinants in community-dwelling elders
Successful aging was associated with age, frail status, chronic health-related problems and psychosocial support. However, whether or not these associations are causal requires further exploration
A correlative STS
How might Science and Technology Studies learn more from the intersection between 'Western' and 'other' forms of knowledge? In this article, we use Eduardo Viveiros de Castro's writing on equivocal translation to explore a moment of encounter in a Chinese Medical consultation in Taiwan in which a practitioner hybridizes Chinese Medicine and biomedicine. Our description is symmetrical, but creates a descriptive equivocation in which 'Western' anal…
Modes of Syncretism
In this contribution to the Common Knowledge symposium "Fuzzy Studies," the authors, all of whom work in the field of science, technology, and society, begin from the assumption that, as Bruno Latour has put it, "we have never been modern." They accept the STS thesis that, while modern practices purport to be entirely rational and coherent, on closer inspection they turn out to be as much noncoherent as coherent. This article poses the question o…
Displacement of Agency
How might the agency of the subaltern be conceptualized within the intersection of multiple worlds? Actor-network theory's (ANT) translation framework for understanding agency portraying this as entrepreneur and talking of a world in the making is arguably "imperialist," "managerial," and "monolithic." Draws from the enactment turn of ANT and insights into the politics of representation, this article elaborates an alternative framework which focu…
Metabolic syndrome is associated with change in subclinical arterial stiffness - A community-based Taichung Community Health Study
MetS affects the subject's progression to arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness increased as the number of MetS components increased. Management of MetS is important for preventing the progression to advanced arterial stiffness
Sex difference in the association of metabolic syndrome with high sensitivity C-reactive protein in a Taiwanese population
Our data suggest that inflammatory processes may be of particular importance in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome in women
The relationship of high sensitivity C-reactive protein to percent body fat mass, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, and waist circumference in a Taiwanese population
Our study demonstrates that %FM is the only obesity indicator that is strongly associated with a high level of hs-CRP after adjusting for sociodemographic factors, lifestyle behaviors and components of metabolic syndrome in both genders in a Taiwanese population aged forty years and over. In men, %FM had the greatest ability to classify subjects with a high level of hs-CRP when only demographic and lifestyle behaviors were considered. Our study f…
Carthamus tinctorius L. prevents LPS-induced TNFα signaling activation and cell apoptosis through JNK1/2–NFκB pathway inhibition in H9c2 cardiomyoblast cells
Cultivating Disconcertment
In this paper we explore a moment of intersection between 'Western' and Taiwanese social science knowledge that took place in a Taiwanese seminar in 2009. Our interest is post-colonial: we treat this as an encounter between dominant and subordinate knowledge systems, and follow Helen Verran by conceiving of the bodily disconcertment experienced by the participants as an expression of metaphysical difference. We then provide three contexts for tha…
Problematizing the Experts
What is engineers' conception of their users and the public? And what makes it so difficult to be changed? Studies in public understanding and participation of science and technology have depicted the pre-commitment of criticism against the deficit model in scientists' conception of the public and enriched our understanding of the public's knowledgeability of science and technology. Literature of technoscientific practices also explores the frami…

The relation of metabolic syndrome according to five definitions to cardiovascular risk factors - a population-based study
The associations of these five definitions with cardiovascular risk factors were similar in women, and it was evident that the five definitions performed better in women than in men, with higher ORs observed in relation to arterial stiffness, elevated hs-CRP, and higher Framingham risk scores
Association between television viewing and the risk of metabolic syndrome in a community-based population
The findings suggest that TV viewing is an independent risk factor associated with metabolic syndrome in Taiwanese people

Metabolic syndrome in a Taiwanese metropolitan adult population
MetS was present in more than 30% of the Taiwan adult population aged 40 years and over in a metropolitan area; there were substantial variations by age and body mass index groups
