Background: As population aging intensifies, depression emerges as a major global public health issue, especially affecting middle-aged and elderly individuals. While studies have investigated factors like sleep duration, physical activity, smoking, drinking habits, and comorbidity, the complex interplay and cumulative effect of these factors on the risk of depressive symptoms remain not fully understood.
Methods: This research utilizes data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), encompassing observations from 2015 to 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Multimorbidity among middle-aged and older adults in China is a growing public health issue, with an increase in chronic diseases leading to significant healthcare costs.
- This study analyzed data from hospital records in 2013 and 2023 to identify changes in the patterns of multimorbidity and their impact on medical expenses, using robust statistical methods.
- Findings revealed an increase in the detection rate of multimorbidity and the emergence of new patterns; however, the overall medical costs for multimorbidity patients decreased during this period.
Background: Data on the relationship between short-term exposure to air pollution and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and the potential modifying factors are limited and inconsistent.
Objective: To explore the relationship between short-term exposure to air pollution and CVD risk, and potential modification effect factors.
Method: A time series study was conducted on 52,991 hospital admissions for CVD from 2015 to 2019 in Xiangyang City, China.
