1. Does younger children’s social health insurance alleviate household impoverishment due to illness?

Author: Jiali Zhou, Yong Zhan, Huashuai Chen, and Sijie Chen
Subjects: Social health insurance, Severe illness shock, Child health, Medical impoverishment, Poverty alleviation, Public aspects of medicine, RA1-1270
Abstract: Abstract Background The ambitious expansion of social health insurance in China has played a crucial role in preventing and alleviating poverty caused by illness. However, there is no government-sponsored health insurance program specifically for younger children and inequities are more pronounced in healthcare utilization, medical expenditure, and satisfaction in some households with severely ill children. This study assessed the effectiveness of child health insurance in terms of alleviating poverty caused by illness. Methods Data were collected from two rounds of follow-up surveys using the China Family Panel Studies 2016 and 2018 child questionnaires to investigate the relationship between child health insurance and household medical impoverishment (MI). Impoverishing health expenditure (IHE) and catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) were measured to quantify “poverty due to illness” in terms of absolute and relative poverty, respectively. Propensity score matching with the difference-in-differences (PSM-DID) method, robustness tests, and heterogeneity analysis were conducted to address endogeneity issues. Results Social health insurance for children significantly reduced household impoverishment due to illness. Under the shock of illness, the incidences of IHE and CHE were significantly lower in households with insured children. The poverty alleviation mechanism transmitted by children enrolled in social health insurance was primarily driven by hospitalization reimbursements and the proportion of out-of-pocket medical payments among the total medical expenditure for children. Conclusions Children’s possession of social health insurance significantly reduced the likelihood of household poverty due to illness. The poverty-reducing effect of social medical insurance is most significant in rural areas, low-income families, no-left-behind children, and infants. Targeted poverty alleviation strategies for marginalized groups and areas would ensure the equity and efficiency of health system reforms, contributing to the goal of universal health insurance coverage in China.

2. A cohort study of self-perception of ageing and all-cause mortality among older adults in China: a multiple mediators analysis

Author: Junling Gao, Huashuai Chen, Hao Chen, Yingwei Chen, Jixiang Xu, Yujie Wang, and Zhizhong Wang
Subjects: Self-perception of ageing, All-cause mortality, Mediation, Social participation, Public aspects of medicine, RA1-1270
Abstract: Abstract Background Positive self-perception of aging (SPA) is a well-known predictor of longevity, while how and to what extent SPA is linked with all-cause mortality among older adults is still unclear. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between positive SPA and all-cause mortality and its potential mediators among Chinese older adults. Methods This is a 20-year dynamic cohort study conducted among 22,957 older adults aged ≥ 65 years old from a nationally representative sample. Positive SPA was measured using a validated 7-item scale. Potential mediators including health behaviors and social participation were collected using a self-reported questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards regression models were conducted to examine the association between positive SPA and all-cause mortality. A mediation analysis was conducted to determine whether health behaviors and social participation mediated the association between SPA and all-cause mortality. Results Throughout follow-up (median [interquartile range], 46 [21–84] months), all-cause mortality was 87.4%. Compared with older adults with the lowest quartile positive SPA, hazard ratio(HR) of all-cause mortality among older adults with the second, third, and fourth quartile of positive SPA was 0.96(95%CI:0.93-1.00), 0.93(95%CI:0.90–0.99), and 0.92(95%CI:0.87–0.96) respectively after controlling for all potential mediators and covariates. The mediation analysis showed that regular daily vegetable intake, physical activity, and high social participation explained 41.1-48.5% of the variance in the association between positive SPA and all-cause mortality. Conclusions 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.

3. The impact of carbon emissions from lag fertilization on wheat production.

Author: Atif Rahim, Qianrui Peng, Huashuai Chen, and Yuxi Liu
Subjects: Medicine, Science
Abstract: This study examines the influence of lag fertilization techniques on Pakistani wheat production, highlighting the need to understand and mitigate the environmental impacts of farming methods. The basic purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of CO2 emission from fertilization and other factors on wheat production in Pakistan, using a time series of data from 1990 to 2020. CO2 emission from fertilization (CO2EF) is estimated using the default values provided by the IPCC guidelines. The ARDL approach analyses the short-run and long-run effects of CO2EF, technology level, energy use, agricultural land, and agricultural labor on wheat production. The results show that all factors have significantly impacted wheat production in Pakistan at levels of 1% and 5% significance, both in the short and long run. These findings suggest that reducing CO2EF, technology level, energy use, agricultural land, and agricultural labor on wheat production can help to increase wheat production in Pakistan. The study also highlights the importance of adopting sustainable and efficient fertilization practices, exploring alternative fertilizers, and using crop rotation systems to mitigate the adverse effects of carbon emissions from nitrogen fertilization, energy use, and the use of technology. These measures can contribute to a more sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture sector in Pakistan.

Abstract: It is long observed that females tend to live longer than males in nearly every country. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we discovered that genetic associations with longevity are on average stronger in females than in males through bio-demographic analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) dataset of 2178 centenarians and 2299 middle-age controls of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Study (CLHLS). This discovery is replicated across North and South regions of China, and is further confirmed by North-South discovery/replication analyses of different and independent datasets of Chinese healthy aging candidate genes with CLHLS participants who are not in CLHLS GWAS, including 2972 centenarians and 1992 middle-age controls. Our polygenic risk score analyses of eight exclusive groups of sex-specific genes, analyses of sex-specific and not-sex-specific individual genes, and Genome-wide Complex Trait Analysis using all SNPs all reconfirm that genetic associations with longevity are on average stronger in females than in males. Our discovery/replication analyses are based on genetic datasets of in total 5150 centenarians and compatible middle-age controls, which comprises the worldwide largest sample of centenarians. The present study's findings may partially explain the well-known male-female health-survival paradox and suggest that genetic variants may be associated with different reactions between males and females to the same vaccine, drug treatment and/or nutritional intervention. Thus, our findings provide evidence to steer away from traditional view that “one-size-fits-all” for clinical interventions, and to consider sex differences for improving healthcare efficiency. We suggest future investigations focusing on effects of interactions between sex-specific genetic variants and environment on longevity as well as biological function.

Subjects: Leisure activity, Population aging, China, Temporal trends, Public aspects of medicine, RA1-1270
Abstract: Abstract Background To examine the time trends of leisure activity engagement among young-old adults aged 65–74 in China over a 16-year period. Methods Data for a nationally representative sample of young-old adults was sourced from the 2002–2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (N = 9504). Generalized estimating equations regressions were implemented to assess temporal trends for 10 different leisure-time activities. We also evaluated time trends for solitary versus social leisure-time activities. Results Young-old adults were less likely to engage in any form of social activities (e.g. participate in social events) over time, controlling for other confounders such as age, sex, education, income, and health characteristics. Trends in outdoor activities participation and tourism also declined over 2002-2014, but reversed in 2018. In contrast, solitary leisure activities (e.g. watching TV) became more popular. There was a significant spike in the likelihood of keeping pets from 2011 onwards, especially among urbanites. Conclusions The future elderly in China have tended towards home-bound and solitary leisure activities over time, which warrants policy attention and public health interventions to reverse such trends.

Author: Huashuai Chen and Xuebin Zhang
Subjects: temperature, relative humidity, extreme temperature, CVD, older adults, China, Public aspects of medicine, RA1-1270
Abstract: BackgroundThe burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) on the current aging society in China is substantial. Climate change, including extreme temperatures and humidity, has a detrimental influence on health. However, epidemiological studies have been unable to fully identify the association between climate change and CVD among older adults. Therefore, we investigated the associations between temperature and relative humidity and CVD among older adults in China.MethodsWe used cohort data from the China Longitudinal Health and Longevity Survey (CLHLS) conducted in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2018. A total of 39,278 Chinese adults 65 years and older participated in the analyses. The average annual temperatures and relative humidity during 2001 and 2017 (before the survey year) at the city level in China were used as the exposure measures. We selected patients with hypertension, heart disease, and stroke to create a sample of CVD patients. The associations between temperature and relative humidity and CVD were analyzed using the generalized estimation equation (GEE) model. Covariates included sociodemographic factors, health status, lifestyle, and cognitive function.ResultsThe average annual temperature was negatively correlated with the prevalence of CVD. Every 1°C increase in the average annual temperature reduced the rates of hypertension by 3% [odds ratio (OR): 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.96–0.97], heart disease by 6% (OR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.92–0.95), and stroke by 5% (OR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.94–0.97). The results of the analyses stratified by sex, urban/rural residence, and educational level were robust. The average annual relative humidity was inversely associated with the likelihood of CVD among older adults. Every 1% increase in the average annual relative humidity reduced the rates of hypertension by 0.4% (OR: 0.996; 95% CI: 0.99–1.00), heart disease by 0.6% (OR: 0.994; 95% CI: 0.99–1.00), and stroke by 0.08% (OR: 0.992; 95% CI: 0.98–1.00). However, the effects were more obvious with higher humidity levels (>70).ConclusionOur findings suggest that higher temperatures and relative humidity may reduce the risk of CVD among older adults.

Abstract: Objectives: Focusing on older adults in China, this study aims to examine the association between tooth loss and cognitive impairment. Methods: This study used six waves of data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey across 16 years and applied generalized estimation equation regression models. Results: Severe tooth loss was significantly related to cognitive impairment after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviors, and self-rated poor health. The adjusted prevalence ratios of cognitive impairment were 1.35 (95%CI: 1.30, 1.40) for edentulousness vs. no or mild tooth loss (0–9), and 1.25 (95%CI: 1.20, 1.30) for severe tooth loss (10 or more) vs. no or mild tooth loss. The effect of tooth loss increased with age from

Subjects: Type of tea intake, Mental health, Depressive symptoms, Older adults, CLHLS, Geriatrics, RC952-954.6
Abstract: Abstract Background Existing research indicates that tea drinking may exert beneficiary effects on mental health. However, associations between different types of tea intake and mental health such as depression have not been fully examined. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations of green tea, fermented tea, and floral tea consumption with depressive symptoms. Methods We used data from the 2018 wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, a nationwide survey on older adults in mainland China. A total of 13,115 participants (mean age 83.7 years, 54.2% were women) with valid responses were included in the analysis. The type (green, fermented [black, Oolong, white, yellow, dark, and compressed teas], and floral) and the frequency of tea consumption were recorded, and depressive symptoms were assessed using 10-item of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-10). We examined the associations between the type and the frequency of tea intake and depression, controlling for a set of demographic, socioeconomic, psychosocial, behavioral, and health-related variables. Results Overall, intakes of green tea, fermented tea, and floral tea were all significantly associated with lower prevalence of depressive symptoms, independent of other risk factors. Compared with the group of no tea intake, the adjusted ORs of depressive symptoms for daily green tea, fermented tea, and floral tea intake were 0.85 (95% CI: 0.76–0.95), 0.87 (95% CI: 0.76–0.99), and 0.70 (95% CI: 0.59–0.82), respectively.

Subjects: relative humidity, temperature, extreme temperature, cataracts, older adults, China, Public aspects of medicine, RA1-1270
Abstract: BackgroundThe burden of cataracts was substantial in the current aging world. However, few epidemiological studies have examined the associations between climate and weather conditions and cataract in older populations. We aimed to investigate the associations of air relative humidity and temperature with cataracts in older adults in China.MethodsWe used the cohort data from 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2018 waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). A total of 62,595 Chinese older adults aged between 65 and 105 years were included in the analyses. City-level annual average air humidity and temperature during 2001 and 2017 (before the survey year) was used to measure population exposure. A cataract was self-reports based on the medical record or the doctor's diagnosis and 8,071 older adults had cataract. Covariates included socio-demographic, health status, lifestyles, and chronic conditions. We adopted the Generalized estimation equation (GEE) model to analyze the associations of relative humidity and temperature with cataracts.ResultsWe found that the average relative humidity (OR: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.98–0.99) in the past year was inversely associated with cataract likelihoods in older adults and a positive association between temperature (OR: 1.04; 95%CI: 1.03,1.05) in the past year and cataract likelihoods in older adults. The associations were robust in stratified analyses by sex, urban/rural residence, and education level. Furthermore, we found a nonlinear J-shaped relationship between temperature and cataract prevalence.ConclusionOur findings provide the evidence that higher temperature and low relative humidity may be associated with cataracts in older adults.

Subjects: Ozone, Long-term exposure, Cognitive impairment, Older adults, Cohort study, Environmental sciences, GE1-350
Abstract: Ambient particulate matter pollution has been linked to impaired cognitive performance, but the effect of ambient ozone exposure on cognitive function remains largely unknown. We examined the association of long-term ozone exposure with the risk of cognitive impairment among a national representative cohort of 9,544 Chinese older adults (aged 65 years and over) with baseline normal cognition from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (2005–2018). The ozone exposure of each participant was measured by annual mean ozone concentrations for the county of residence. Cognitive function was assessed by the Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). We defined cognitive impairment as an MMSE score below 18 points accompanied by an MMSE score that declined ≥ 4 points from baseline. Cox proportional hazards models were applied to explore the association of ozone exposure with cognitive impairment. During the mean follow-up time of 6.5 years, 2,601 older adults developed cognitive impairment. Each 10-μg/m3 increase in annual mean ozone exposure was associated with a 10.4% increased risk of cognitive impairment. The exposure–response relationship between ozone exposure and risk of cognitive impairment showed a linear trend. Sensitivity analyses revealed the association to be robust. We found that older adults from Eastern, Central, and Southern China were particularly susceptible. Our results show that ozone is a risk factor for late-life cognitive decline. Reducing ambient ozone pollution may help delay the onset of cognitive impairment among older adults.

Subjects: ethanol intake, Asian flush, alcohol metabolizing genes, Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive impairment, Neurosciences. Biological psychiatry. Neuropsychiatry, RC321-571
Abstract: Recent literature suggested that ALDH2 mutation is associated with alcohol metabolism, and ethanol intake might jointly increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in mice. However, it is unclear whether this synergistic effect exists among humans. We examined the associations of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) genes (i.e., ALDH2 rs671, ADH1B rs1229984, ADH1B rs1042026, and ADH1C rs1693482) and cognitive impairment among the oldest-old. We also investigated whether this association was modified by ethanol intake from alcohol consumption. Data were from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey genetic sub-study, including 1,949 participants aged over 90 years. Participants with a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of < 18 were considered cognitively impaired. Alcohol consumption was categorized as heavy, moderate, or never drinkers. With the dominant model, carrying A allele on rs671, C allele on rs1229984, and T allele on rs1042026 was associated with 33% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5%, 69%), 33% (95% CI: 2%, 75%), and 29% (95% CI: 3%, 62%) higher odds of cognitive impairment in the multivariable-adjusted logistic model, respectively. We did not observe a significant interaction between those SNPs and alcohol consumption. Among the oldest-old, carrying ALDH2 rs671 mutation was associated with higher odds of cognitive impairment independent of alcohol consumption.

Subjects: dietary diversity, anti-inflammatory diet, depressive symptoms, older adults, China, Nutrition. Foods and food supply, TX341-641
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to associate the anti-inflammatory dietary diversity and depressive symptoms among a nationwide sample of Chinese older adults. We used data from the 2018 wave of Chinese longitudinal healthy longevity survey (CLHLS). We assessed depressive symptoms using the 10 items of the center for epidemiologic studies depression scale (CES-D-10). Based on the dietary diversity index (DDI) generated by previous studies, we construct two novel indicators: the protein-enriched dietary diversity index diet (PEDDI) and the anti-inflammatory dietary diversity index diet (AIDDI). We used multivariate logistic models to evaluate the associations of DDI, PEDDI, and AIDDI with depressive symptoms, statistically adjusted for a range of potential confounders. A total of 12,192 participants (mean age 83.6 years) were included in the analysis. We found that participants with a higher score of DDI (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.89–0.92) and PEDDI (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.88–0.93) showed lower odds of having depressive symptoms, while the association between AIDDI and depressive symptoms was more marked (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.78–0.83). The associations remained in subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses. The results indicate that intaking diversified diet, particularly anti-inflammatory foods, may be associated with a lower risk of depressive symptoms. The findings of this study, if confirmed as causal, provide evidence that an intervention of adopting an anti-inflammatory diversified diet may reduce the burden of depression among older adults.

Abstract: Abstract Background Whether cognitive decline is related to a higher risk of death independent of the initial cognitive function is inconclusive. Evidence of the association between cognitive decline and mortality among Chinese older people is limited. We aimed to examine whether cognitive decline, assessed by the rate of decrease in the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, was associated with mortality independent of initial cognitive function (baseline MMSE score) among Chinese older people. Methods We established two successive and non-overlapping cohorts of older adults nested within the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), an ongoing, open, community-based cohort survey conducted every 2–3 years. Cognitive function was measured using the Chinese version of the MMSE. A total of 11,732 older adults who completed two consecutive cognitive function examinations were included and followed for 3 years. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the association of cognitive decline with mortality after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviours, comorbidities and initial cognitive function. Results The mean age was 82.5 years old, and 44.9% (5264/11732) of participants were men. After adjusting for baseline MMSE scores and other covariates, the rate of change in MMSE scores over 3 years was monotonically and positively associated with subsequent 3-year mortality. Compared to those with stable cognitive function, participants with rapid cognitive decline (decline faster than average, a reduction of MMSE scores > 1.62 points/year) had a 75% higher risk of death (hazard ratio = 1.75, 95% confidence interval 1.57–1.95). The association between cognitive decline and mortality was stronger among relatively younger Chinese older people (aged 65–79 years versus 80 years and over) and those with normal cognitive function at baseline (MMSE scores ≥ 24 versus

Subjects: cognitive impairment, diet, smoking, gender, three-way interaction, older adults, Nutrition. Foods and food supply, TX341-641
Abstract: Investigations on gender variations in the risk factors of cognitive impairment are required to promote future precision medicine among older adults, as well as to contribute to a better understanding of the “male–female health-survival paradox”. With this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of “diet–smoking–gender” three-way interactions on cognitive impairments among Chinese older adults. We conducted a 16-year prospective cohort study among 15,953, 15,555, 16,849, 9716, 7116, and 13,165 older adults from the 2002, 2005, 2008–2009, 2011–2012, 2014, and 2017–2018 waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), respectively. Cognitive impairment was measured by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The dietary diversity score (DDS) was calculated using the CLHLS food frequency questionnaire. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to assess the “diet–smoking–gender” three-way interaction effects on cognitive impairment across the six waves of CLHLS. We found that higher dietary diversity was associated with lower probability of cognitive impairment among older adults (OR = 0.92; 95%CI = 0.90, 0.98). However, smoking behavior may negatively influence the protective effect of higher dietary diversity on cognitive function among females (OR = 1.26; 95%CI = 1.07, 1.49). Our findings imply that we should take gender differences and lifestyle behaviors into consideration in implementing dietary interventions to improve cognitive function among older adults.

Subjects: meizhou, vernacular dwelling, spatial distribution, spatial morphology, isomerism, Architecture, NA1-9428, Building construction, TH1-9745
Abstract: Taking Hakka vernacular dwellings as an example, this paper discusses the relationship between culture and architectural form. Using survey data from 2,189 traditional villages in the Meizhou region, the authors identify seven types of dwelling and their spatial distributions. Four housing types (Hengtang, Lung Wai, Bar and Pillow) have a high spatial overlap. Architectural morphology, with respect to symmetry, unit design and prototypes is then discussed. The four major dwelling types share the same cultural essence despite having different physical forms. This confirms the phenomenon of isomerism in architectural morphology. The authors hold that the homogenesis of vernacular dwellings, or the ″spatial prototype″ as a symbol and carrier of culture, strongly controls the consistency of architectural design. Meanwhile, heterogeneity reflects specific strategies of housing construction. It gives residential spaces adaptability to specific sociocultural and natural environments. Meanwhile, it exhibits itself indirectly in the form of diversity. Isomerism offers an appropriate mechanism through which vernacular dwellings can balance the needs of the top-down national system, bottom-up family needs, and the natural environment. This brings a new perspective that increases our understanding of vernacular dwellings.

16. Influences of the Natural Environment on Traditional Settlement Patterns: A Case Study of Hakka Traditional Settlements in Eastern Guangdong Province

Author: Jin Tao, Huashuai Chen, and Dawei Xiao
Subjects: dabu county, natural environment, traditional settlement, spatial pattern, farmland, Architecture, NA1-9428, Building construction, TH1-9745
Abstract: This study surveyed 89 traditional Hakka settlements in Dabu County, eastern Guangdong Province, China. The influences of the natural environment on settlement patterns were investigated via spatial and statistical analysis. Natural factors such as terrain, rivers and sunlight influence the construction of settlements at both regional and local levels. This gives settlements certain characteristics of distribution, scale, hierarchy and morphology. Although natural factors do affect settlement patterns, they do so indirectly through their influences on nearby agricultural resources. Restricted by the scarcity of farmland, the Hakka people have often had to settle in marginal landscapes prone to floods or with sub-optimal sunlight. Subsistence is sometimes only achieved by the labour-intensive farming of terraced hillsides. As such, the Hakka have struck a delicate balance with nature. In summary, this closed agrarian society is fundamentally dependent on the availability of farmland, indicating that the Hakka people suffered great survival pressures after migrating to the region.

Subjects: Public aspects of medicine, RA1-1270
Abstract: Summary: Background: Evidence from cohort studies in North America and Europe indicates that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2·5) is associated with an increased mortality risk. However, this association has rarely been quantified at higher ambient concentrations. We estimated the hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality from long-term exposure to PM2·5 in a well established Chinese cohort of older adults. Methods: The Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) is a prospective cohort study of men and women aged 65 years and older enrolled in 2008 and followed up through 2014 for mortality events. We studied individuals for whom residential locations were available in 2008 for linkage to 1 km grids of PM2·5 concentrations, derived from satellite remote sensing. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the effect of long-term exposure to PM2·5 on all-cause mortality, controlling for age, sex, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, body-mass index, household income, marital status, and education. We then used our results to estimate premature mortality related to PM2·5 exposure in the population aged 65 years and older in China in 2010. Findings: 13 344 individuals in the CLHLS cohort had data for all timepoints, yielding follow-up data for 49 440 person-years. In a 3-year window, these individuals were exposed to a median PM2·5 concentration of 50·7 μg/m3 (range 6·7–113·3). The overall HR for a 10 μg/m3 increase in this value was 1·08 (95% CI 1·06–1·09). In stratified analyses, HRs were higher in rural than in urban locations, in southern versus northern regions, and with exposure to lower versus higher PM2·5 concentrations. Based on the overall HR, we estimated that 1 765 820 people aged 65 years and older in China in 2010 had premature mortality related to PM2·5 exposure. Interpretation: Long-term exposure to PM2·5 is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality among adults aged 65 years and older in China, but the magnitude of the risk declines as the concentration of PM2·5 increases. Funding: National Natural Science Foundation of China, National High-Level Talents Special Support Plan of China for Young Talents, US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Columbia University Global Policy Initiative.

19. The Effects of “Diet–Smoking–Gender” Three-Way Interactions on Cognitive Impairment among Chinese Older Adults

Author: Zeng, Huashuai Chen, Xuxi Zhang, and Qiushi Feng
Subjects: cognitive impairment, diet, smoking, gender, three-way interaction, older adults, CLHLS
Abstract: Investigations on gender variations in the risk factors of cognitive impairment are required to promote future precision medicine among older adults, as well as to contribute to a better understanding of the “male–female health-survival paradox”. With this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of “diet–smoking–gender” three-way interactions on cognitive impairments among Chinese older adults. We conducted a 16-year prospective cohort study among 15,953, 15,555, 16,849, 9716, 7116, and 13,165 older adults from the 2002, 2005, 2008–2009, 2011–2012, 2014, and 2017–2018 waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), respectively. Cognitive impairment was measured by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The dietary diversity score (DDS) was calculated using the CLHLS food frequency questionnaire. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to assess the “diet–smoking–gender” three-way interaction effects on cognitive impairment across the six waves of CLHLS. We found that higher dietary diversity was associated with lower probability of cognitive impairment among older adults (OR = 0.92; 95%CI = 0.90, 0.98). However, smoking behavior may negatively influence the protective effect of higher dietary diversity on cognitive function among females (OR = 1.26; 95%CI = 1.07, 1.49). Our findings imply that we should take gender differences and lifestyle behaviors into consideration in implementing dietary interventions to improve cognitive function among older adults.

20. Leisure Participation and Cognitive Impairment Among Healthy Older Adults in China.

Abstract: Leisure participation is beneficial to various health outcomes. This study examined a comprehensive list of leisure activities in relation to incidence of cognitive impairment among healthy older adults (65+) in China. Using data from the 2002 to 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, we found that most of the leisure activities were protective of cognitive decline and three leisure activities (watching TV, doing housework, and playing cards/mah-jong) stood out as the most important ones. Additionally, our results revealed subgroup variations in the association between leisure participation and cognitive function: Leisure activities such as reading newspapers/books (not significant for the illiterate), gardening (not significant for the illiterate), and regular exercise (not significant for the rural residents) had different effects across different demographic social groups. Our findings suggest that intervention programs designed to prevent cognitive decline for older adults should consider subgroup and cultural variations in order to yield the best outcomes.

Abstract: Population migration and air pollution are inevitable problems in the process of urbanisation. With the continuous advancement of urbanisation, the trends in family migration have become more prominent, and children's migration with parents has become an important indicator reflecting the speed, structure, and quality of urbanisation. Our analysis relies on data from China Migrants Dynamic Survey to estimate the effect of air pollution on children's migration with parents. After using the instrumental variables to correct the possible endogeneity, we found that air pollution has a significant negative effect on children's migration with parents. Through further analysis, air pollution mainly affects migrant children by reducing the settlement intention of the migrants, the house purchase tendency in the influx city, and the income level. After replacing the independent variables, using narrow samples, and considering heterogeneity differences, this paper's conclusions remain robust. Therefore, in the process of urbanisation development, it is important to coordinate the relationship between the environment and the population, and it has an important significance to delay the demographic dividend recession and promote sustainable economic development in developing countries.

Abstract: From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with 187 million participants. Changes in the prevalence of underweight and total obesity, and to a lesser extent severe obesity, are largely driven by shifts in the distribution of BMI, with smaller contributions from changes in the shape of the distribution. In East and Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, the underweight tail of the BMI distribution was left behind as the distribution shifted. There is a need for policies that address all forms of malnutrition by making healthy foods accessible and affordable, while restricting unhealthy foods through fiscal and regulatory restrictions., Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council, peer-reviewed

Abstract: Background Whether cognitive decline is related to a higher risk of death independent of the initial cognitive function is inconclusive. Evidence of the association between cognitive decline and mortality among Chinese older people is limited. We aimed to examine whether cognitive decline, assessed by the rate of decrease in the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, was associated with mortality independent of initial cognitive function (baseline MMSE score) among Chinese older people. Methods We established two successive and non-overlapping cohorts of older adults nested within the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), an ongoing, open, community-based cohort survey conducted every 2–3 years. Cognitive function was measured using the Chinese version of the MMSE. A total of 11,732 older adults who completed two consecutive cognitive function examinations were included and followed for 3 years. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the association of cognitive decline with mortality after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviours, comorbidities and initial cognitive function. Results The mean age was 82.5 years old, and 44.9% (5264/11732) of participants were men. After adjusting for baseline MMSE scores and other covariates, the rate of change in MMSE scores over 3 years was monotonically and positively associated with subsequent 3-year mortality. Compared to those with stable cognitive function, participants with rapid cognitive decline (decline faster than average, a reduction of MMSE scores > 1.62 points/year) had a 75% higher risk of death (hazard ratio = 1.75, 95% confidence interval 1.57–1.95). The association between cognitive decline and mortality was stronger among relatively younger Chinese older people (aged 65–79 years versus 80 years and over) and those with normal cognitive function at baseline (MMSE scores ≥ 24 versus

Abstract: There is growing interest in studying the genetic contributions to longevity, but limited relevant genes have been identified. In this study, we performed a genetic association study of longevity in a total of 15,651 Chinese individuals. Novel longevity loci, BMPER (rs17169634; p = 7.91 × 10−15) and TMEM43/XPC (rs1043943; p = 3.59 × 10−8), were identified in a case–control analysis of 11,045 individuals. BRAF (rs1267601; p = 8.33 × 10−15) and BMPER (rs17169634; p = 1.45 × 10−10) were significantly associated with life expectancy in 12,664 individuals who had survival status records. Additional sex‐stratified analyses identified sex‐specific longevity genes. Notably, sex‐differential associations were identified in two linkage disequilibrium blocks in the TOMM40/APOE region, indicating potential differences during meiosis between males and females. Moreover, polygenic risk scores and Mendelian randomization analyses revealed that longevity was genetically causally correlated with reduced risks of multiple diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and arthritis. Finally, we incorporated genetic markers, disease status, and lifestyles to classify longevity or not‐longevity groups and predict life span. Our predictive models showed good performance (AUC = 0.86 for longevity classification and explained 19.8% variance of life span) and presented a greater predictive efficiency in females than in males. Taken together, our findings not only shed light on the genetic contributions to longevity but also elucidate correlations between diseases and longevity., This genetic association study of longevity on 15,651 Chinese individuals (3,448 nonagenarians and 2,509 centenarians) identified two novel human longevity loci. Two novel longevity loci, BMPER (rs17169634; p = 7.91 × 10−15) and TMEM43/XPC (rs1043943; p = 3.59 × 10−8) reached genome‐wide significance. Interestingly, gender differential associations revealed two linkage disequilibrium blocks on TOMM40/APOE region. In addition, our predictive models showed good performance (AUC = 0.86 for longevity classification and explained 19.8% variances of life span), and higher efficiencies in females than males. These findings provide potential strategies for improving healthy aging.

Abstract: In this study, we split 2156 individuals from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) data into two groups, establishing a phenotype of exceptional longevity & normal cognition versus cognitive impairment. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify significant genetic variants and biological pathways that are associated with cognitive impairment and used these results to construct polygenic risk scores. We elucidated the important and robust factors, both genetic and non-genetic, in predicting the phenotype, using several machine learning models. The GWAS identified 28 significant SNPs at p-value $$< 3 \times 10^{-5}$$ < 3 × 10 - 5 significance level and we pinpointed four genes, ESR1, PHB, RYR3, GRIK2, that are associated with the phenotype though immunological systems, brain function, metabolic pathways, inflammation and diet in the CLHLS cohort. Using both genetic and non-genetic factors, four machine learning models have close prediction results for the phenotype measured in Area Under the Curve: random forest (0.782), XGBoost (0.781), support vector machine with linear kernel (0.780), and $$\ell _2$$ ℓ 2 penalized logistic regression (0.780). The top four important and congruent features in predicting the phenotype identified by these four models are: polygenic risk score, sex, age, and education.

Abstract: Objectives. To examine the trends of leisure activity engagement among the oldest old in China for the past 2 decades. Methods. Our panel data came from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, which systematically asked respondents about their current participation in leisure activities over a 20-year period. The final sample contained 66 789 interviews from 1998 to 2018. We applied generalized estimating equations regression models in our analysis. Results. Compared with 1998, odds ratios of television watching among Chinese oldest old individuals increased by about 2 to 3 times in 2018. Meanwhile, the odds ratio of exercise declined by 24%, mostly in men; playing cards and mah-jongg declined by about 30% for men. Results also showed that reading became less popular in the oldest old, and Chinese women tended to do more housework than before. Conclusions. Our findings indicated that Chinese oldest old persons have become more sedentary and solitary in the past 2 decades. The negative trend in leisure activity engagement among the elderly Chinese population warrants policy attention, and the urgent development of public health interventions is required to reverse such trends.

38. The Association between Allostatic Load and Mortality among Chinese Older Adults: The Chinese Longitudinal Health and Longevity Study

Author: Tianhang Zhang, Lijing Yan, Huashuai Chen, Haiyu Jin, and Chenkai Wu
Abstract: Background Allostatic load, as multiple biomarker measures of ‘wear and tear’ on physiological systems, has shown some promise that high burden of AL is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes, but little attention has been paid to China with largest aging population in the world. This study is to examine the association between allostatic load (AL) and all-cause mortality among Chinese adults aged at least 60 years. Methods Data were from 2,439 participants in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. The final analytic sample consisted of 1,519 participants. Cox models were used to examine the association between AL and mortality among men and women, separately. Analysis were also adjusted for potential confounders including age, ethnicity, education, and marital status, smoking and exercise. Results In the fully adjusted model, males with a medium AL burden (score: 2–4) and high AL burden (score: 5–9) had a 34% and 128% higher hazard of death, respectively, than those with a low AL burden (score: 0–1). We did not find significant difference between females with different levels of AL burden. Discussion Higher AL burden was associated with increased all-cause mortality among Chinese men aged at least 60 years. However, we did not find strong evidence about Allostatic load was associated with specific causes of death over the same follow-up period among women. In conclusion Intervention programs targeting modifiable components of the AL burden may help prolong lifespan for older adults, especially men, in China.

Abstract: Currently the Chinese government has adopted World Health Organization interim target-1 values as the national ambient air quality standards values. However, the population-based evidence was insufficient, especially for the oldest old (aged 80+). We evaluated the association of fine particulate matters (PM(2.5)) exposure and incidence of disability in activities of daily living (ADL) in 15 453 oldest old in 886 counties/cities in China from 2002 to 2014 using Cox model with penalized splines and competing risk models to evaluate the linear or non-linear association. After adjusting for potential confounders, a J-shaped association existed between PM(2.5) exposure with a threshold concentration of 33 μg/m(3), and incident disability in ADL. Above this threshold, the risk magnitude significantly increased with increase of PM(2.5) concentrations; compared to 33 μg/m(3), the hazard ratio ranged from 1.03 (1.00-1.06) at 40 μg/m(3) to 2.25 (1.54-3.29) at 110 μg/m(3). The risk magnitude was not significantly changed below this threshold. Each 10 μg/m(3) increase in PM(2.5) exposure corresponded to a 7.7% increase in the risk of disability in ADL (hazard ratio 1.077, 95% CI 1.051-1.104). Men, smokers, and participants with cognitive impairment might be more vulnerable to PM(2.5) exposure. The study provided limited population-based evidence for the oldest old and detected a threshold of 33 μg/m(3), and supported that reduction to current World Health Organization interim target-1value (35 μg/m(3)) and Chinese national ambient air quality standards (35 μg/m(3)) or lower may be associated with lower risk of disability in ADL.

Abstract: Summary Background Evidence from cohort studies in North America and Europe indicates that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2·5) is associated with an increased mortality risk. However, this association has rarely been quantified at higher ambient concentrations. We estimated the hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality from long-term exposure to PM2·5 in a well established Chinese cohort of older adults. Methods The Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) is a prospective cohort study of men and women aged 65 years and older enrolled in 2008 and followed up through 2014 for mortality events. We studied individuals for whom residential locations were available in 2008 for linkage to 1 km grids of PM2·5 concentrations, derived from satellite remote sensing. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the effect of long-term exposure to PM2·5 on all-cause mortality, controlling for age, sex, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, body-mass index, household income, marital status, and education. We then used our results to estimate premature mortality related to PM2·5 exposure in the population aged 65 years and older in China in 2010. Findings 13 344 individuals in the CLHLS cohort had data for all timepoints, yielding follow-up data for 49 440 person-years. In a 3-year window, these individuals were exposed to a median PM2·5 concentration of 50·7 μg/m3 (range 6·7–113·3). The overall HR for a 10 μg/m3 increase in this value was 1·08 (95% CI 1·06–1·09). In stratified analyses, HRs were higher in rural than in urban locations, in southern versus northern regions, and with exposure to lower versus higher PM2·5 concentrations. Based on the overall HR, we estimated that 1 765 820 people aged 65 years and older in China in 2010 had premature mortality related to PM2·5 exposure. Interpretation Long-term exposure to PM2·5 is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality among adults aged 65 years and older in China, but the magnitude of the risk declines as the concentration of PM2·5 increases.

Abstract: Copy number variations (CNVs) have been shown to cause numerous diseases, however, their roles in human lifespan remain elusive. In this study, we investigate the association of CNVs with longevity by comparing the Han Chinese genomes of long-lived individuals from 90 to 117 years of age and the middle-aged from 30 to 65. Our data demonstrate that the numbers of CNVs, especially deletions, increase significantly in a direct correlation with longevity. We identify eleven CNVs that strongly associate with longevity; four of them locate in the chromosome bands, 7p11.2, 20q13.33, 19p12 and 8p23.3 and overlap partially with the CNVs identified in long-lived Danish or U.S. populations, while the other seven have not been reported previously. These CNV regions encode nineteen known genes, and some of which have been shown to affect aging-related phenotypes such as the shortening of telomere length (ZNF208), the risk of cancer (FOXA1, LAMA5, ZNF716), and vascular and immune-related diseases (ARHGEF10, TOR2A, SH2D3C). In addition, we found several pathways enriched in long-lived genomes, including FOXA1 and FOXA transcription factor networks involved in regulating aging or age-dependent diseases such as cancer. Thus, our study has identified longevity-associated CNV regions and their affected genes and pathways. Our results suggest that the human genome structures such as CNVs might play an important role in determining a long life in human.

Abstract: Studies have reported that elder adults are susceptible to the indoor pollution. However, evidences on the mortality risk of household air pollution (HAP) on the elderly, especially on vulnerable oldest-old population, are scarce. We aimed to estimate the association between HAP exposure from solid fuel combustion and 7-years all-cause mortality using a nationally representative dataset of oldest-old population in China. We used data from wave 2011 to wave 2018 of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. Household cooking fuel were dichotomized as solid fuel (including kerosene, charcoal, coal, wood, and biomass) and clean fuel (including electricity, solar, natural gas, and coal gas). The cohort contained 6,167 participants, totaling 21,357 person-years. There were 3,836 deaths between 2011 and 2014. About half of the participants (53.8%) used solid fuel for cooking. In the fully adjusted model, the mortality hazard ratio (HR) for solid fuel users was 1.10 (95% CI: 1.03-1.18). We observed significant interaction between HAP and urban/rural residency but not between HAP and gender. Our study showed exposure to HAP from solid fuel combustion was associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality in the male and female oldest-old population. This adverse effect was more pronounced in urban residence who use solid cooking fuels, suggesting attention should be paid on reducing HAP, particularly on susceptible population.

Abstract: Existing studies have testified the neuroprotective qualities of tea. As there are several types of tea, question on which type of tea may exert substantial influence on cognitive health is intriguing and remains unknow. We aim to estimate the association between type of tea consumption and mild cognition impairment (MCI) using a nationally representative dataset of older population in China. Type of tea consumption was classified as three groups: Green, fermented (White, Oolong, Black, and Pu’eh), and flower tea. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was adopted to assess cognitive function. We conducted multivariate logistic regressions to evaluate the association between type of tea drinking and cognition outcomes (MMSE score and MCI). Potential confounders including sociodemographic factors, health conditions, dietary patterns, lifestyles, activities of daily living, mental health, and living environments. A total of 10,923 participants (mean age: 85.4 yr; female: 53.5%) included in the study. The type of current tea consumption among the participants were: 2143 for green tea, 1302 for fermented tea, and 844 for flower tea. Compared to those who had no habit of tea consumption, the odds ratio of MCI in green tea drinkers was 0.80 (0.68-0.95), in fermented tea drinkers was 1.07 (0.89-1.30), and in flower tea drinkers were 0.85 (0.67-1.09). Our study showed green tea and flower tea consumption associated with lower odds of MCI, while the association was not found among fermented tea drinkers. Future experimental and longitudinal studies are warranted to illustrate the association between varied type of tea and cognitive health.

The results revealed that the interactions between familial longevity and any one of the three environmental factors (receipt of adequate medical care when ill as a child, number of living children, and household economic conditions) were significantly associated with the three health outcome indicators (IADL, self-rated life satisfaction, and anxiety-loneness) at old ages. We discovered that the effects of these environmental factors on the health outcome indicators were substantially stronger among elders who had no family history of longevity compared to centenarians’ children who likely carry genes and/or inherited healthy behavior and better lifestyle from long-lived parents.

Abstract: Importance: Sex differences in genetic associations with human longevity remain largely unknown; investigations on this topic are important for individualized health care. Objective: To explore sex differences in genetic associations with longevity. Design, Setting, and Participants: This population-based case-control study used sex-specific genome-wide association study and polygenic risk score (PRS) analyses to examine sex differences in genetic associations with longevity. Five hundred sixty-four male and 1614 female participants older than 100 years were compared with a control group of 773 male and 1526 female individuals aged 40 to 64 years. All were Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Study participants with Han ethnicity who were recruited in 1998 and 2008 to 2014. Main Outcomes and Measures: Sex-specific loci and pathways associated with longevity and PRS measures of joint effects of sex-specific loci. Results: Eleven male-specific and 11 female-specific longevity loci (P < 10 -5) and 35 male-specific and 25 female-specific longevity loci (10 -5≤ P < 10 -4) were identified. Each of these loci's associations with longevity were replicated in north and south regions of China in one sex but were not significant in the other sex (P =.13-.97), and loci-sex interaction effects were significant (P -5) and US women (P = 4.6 × 10 -5) but not significant in Chinese and US men. The associations of the loci rs2622624 of the ABCG2 gene were replicated in Chinese women (P = 6.8 × 10 -5) and European women (P =.003) but not significant in both Chinese and European men. Eleven male-specific pathways (inflammation and immunity genes) and 34 female-specific pathways (tryptophan metabolism and PGC-1α induced) were significantly associated with longevity (P -5) and 35 male-specific and 25 female-specific loci (10 -5≤P < 10 -4) were jointly replicated across north and south discovery and target samples. Analyses using the combined data set of north and south showed that these 4 groups of sex-specific loci were jointly and significantly associated with longevity in one sex (P = 2.9 × 10 -70to 1.3 × 10 -39) but not jointly significant in the other sex (P =.11 to.70), while interaction effects between PRS and sex were significant (P = 4.8 × 10 -50to 1.2 × 10 -16). Conclusion and Relevance: The sex differences in genetic associations with longevity are remarkable, but have been overlooked by previously published genome-wide association studies on longevity. This study contributes to filling this research gap and provides a scientific basis for further investigating effects of sex-specific genetic variants and their interactions with environment on healthy aging, which may substantially contribute to more effective and targeted individualized health care for male and female elderly individuals.

49. Education and Psychological Distress of Older Chinese

Author: Huashuai Chen, Qiushi Feng, and Wei Zhang
Subjects: Aged, 80 and over, Male, Rural Population, Community and Home Care, China, Urban Population, Psychological distress, Health Status Disparities, Distress, Age Distribution, Educational Status, Humans, Female, Residence, Longitudinal Studies, Sex Distribution, Geriatrics and Gerontology, Association (psychology), Psychology, Gerontology, Stress, Psychological, Aged, Clinical psychology
Abstract: Objective: The goal of this study is to examine whether and how education predicts distress for older Chinese and whether this association varies by age, gender, and rural/urban residence. Method: The random-effect panel model and Heckman selection model were used to analyze four waves of data with a total sample size of 54,405 from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. Results: We found the following: (a) There is a persistent and negative association between education and distress among older Chinese; (b) education predicts lower levels of distress over time and this is particularly true for males, urban residents, and the young-old; and (c) the effect of education on distress is largely explained by physical health, economic conditions, and a three-dimensional framework of leisure-time activities.Discussion: Our findings strengthen the external validity of the relationship between education and health and suggest the dynamic patterns on the subgroup variations within the association in China.

Abstract: This secondary research is based on the WAVE I (2010) of the WHO Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health (SAGE). Based on the Andersen- Newman Behavioral Model of Health Services Utilization, this study examined the role of tobacco use in predicting utilization of inpatient hospital service among older adult tobacco users (self-identified) in China (n = 2,467; age 55 or older). Tobacco consumption was assessed in terms of whether elders at the time of interview were using tobacco products (including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco or snuff) daily. The mean age of the sample is 65.54 (SD= 8.11), with 91% male and 86% married. Results showed that 23% of the sample had received at least one overnight hospital stay in the last 12 months. Other things being equal, tobacco consumption was a significant need factor to inpatient hospital use. Data suggest that heavy smokers were more likely to use inpatient services. Among the predisposing factors, rural residency was associated with hospital use. Rural elders may prefer to stay in the hospital when needed because of the distance between villages and hospital facilities. In addition, the two enabling factors (having more financial resources and a higher level of social participation) were associated with increased likelihood of using hospital inpatient services. Consistent with the literature, having poor health status was a need factor associated with the increased likelihood of hospital service use. Tobacco use has been identified as a key preventable morbidity, and culturally meaningful tobacco cessation programs will be discussed.
