Introduction: Current randomized trial evidence on the effect of physical activity (PA) intervention on cognitive function is scarce and mainly found in well-educated populations, limiting its generalizability. Furthermore, the modification effect of education levels remains understudied. We conducted a cluster randomized trial to evaluate the effects of PA intervention on cognitive function in a general older population, and whether education modifies such effects.

Associations between residential greenness and the predicted 10-year risk for atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease among Chinese adults.

Background: Exposure to build environments, especially residential greenness, offers benefits to reduce the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). The 10-year ASCVD risk is a useful indicator for long-term ASCVD risk, but the evidence on the association and potential pathway of residential greenness in mitigating its development remains unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the associations between residential greenness and the 10-year predicted ASCVD risks, and potentially mediation effect on this association by air pollution, body mass index (BMI) and physical activity (PA).

Spatiotemporal disparities in regional public risk perception of COVID-19 using Bayesian Spatiotemporally Varying Coefficients (STVC) series models across Chinese cities.

Regional public attention has been critical during the COVID-19 pandemic, impacting the effectiveness of sub-national non-pharmaceutical interventions. While studies have focused on public attention at the national level, sub-national public attention has not been well investigated. Understanding sub-national public attention can aid local governments in designing regional scientific guidelines, especially in large countries with substantial spatiotemporal disparities in the spread of infections.

The joint effects of physical activity and air pollution on type 2 diabetes in older adults.

Background: Older adults with type 2 diabetes are at higher risk of developing common geriatric syndromes and have a lower quality of life. To prevent type 2 diabetes in older adults, it's unclear whether the health benefits of physical activity (PA) will be influenced by the harms caused by increased exposure to air pollution during PA, especially in developing countries with severe air pollution problem. We aimed to investigate the joint effects of PA and long-term exposure to air pollution on the type 2 diabetes in older adults from China.

A Multilevel Physical Activity Intervention Among Chinese Rural Older Adults (Stay Active While Aging): A Study Protocol for a Clustered Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Although a large number of studies have confirmed the benefits of physical activity (PA) in preventing age-related diseases and disabilities, a growing number of older people spent more time in sedentary behavior as opposed to PA. To reverse the alarming trend, numerous studies have corroborated the effectiveness of PA interventions in improving PA among older adults. However, such research is scarce in rural China, where a majority of older adults do not meet the PA recommendation.

Impacts of COVID-19 Lockdown on Food Ordering Patterns among Youths in China: The COVID-19 Impact on Lifestyle Change Survey.

Introduction: Limited studies have focused on how the COVID-19 outbreak and thereby lockdown had affected the youth's food ordering patterns, which was associated with their dietary behaviors and could have longer term impacts on their later-life health status if the trend persists. This study aimed to evaluate changes in food ordering patterns among youths in China after the COVID-19 outbreak.

Methods: The data were obtained from a national retrospective survey (COINLICS) conducted in early May 2020 via social media platforms in China among more than 10,000 youth participants at 3 educational levels.

Association between socio-ecological factors and leisure time physical activity (LTPA) among older adults in Sichuan, China: a structural equation modeling analysis.

Background: Few studies examined socio-ecological factors and leisure time physical activities (LTPA) and rarely focused on self-regulation and social capital, which might play a significant role in impacting people's physical activity behavior. This study aimed to examine the direct and indirect effects of individual level (perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy), interpersonal level (self-regulation), social level (social capital), and environmental level factors (perceived physical environment) on LTPA among older adults.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 737 older adults from Sichuan, China.

Healthy dietary patterns and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease in less-developed ethnic minority regions: a large cross-sectional study.

Background: Little is known about the associations between healthy dietary patterns and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in less-developed ethnic minority regions (LEMRs), where the prevalence of MAFLD is increasing rapidly and dietary habits are quite different from those in developed countries. Moreover, a significant subset of MAFLD individuals in LEMRs are nonobese, but the efficacy of dietary patterns on MAFLD individuals with different obese statuses is also unclear. We aimed to test the associations of two wildly recommended a priori dietary patterns-Alternate Mediterranean diet (AMED) and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-with the risk of MAFLD in the total population, and further in nonobese and obese individuals.
