Purpose: While previous studies have extensively examined the impact of receiving positive social support during social support interactions on depressive symptoms among older adults, adverse effects experienced, such as being rejected or ignored, are often overlooked. Moreover, there has been limited discussion on the effects of giving social support to others. Thus, this study investigates the impacts of social support given by disabled older adults to others on their own depressive symptoms, as well as the mediating role of receiving social support (both positive and negative aspects) and the moderating effect of the activity of daily living (ADL).

The implementation of green credits has become an important engine for China's high-quality energy development (HQED). On the basis of constructing an index of HQED and the panel data of thirty provinces in China from 2008 to 2019, this study empirically investigated the effects of green credits on HQED and the action mechanisms behind it in a multi-dimensional manner using a panel fixed-effects model, mediating-effects model, and spatial Durbin model. The results indicated that green credits had significantly contributed to China's HQED, and that conclusion still held true after a series of robustness tests were conducted.

Dietary fat intake in the Chinese population has increased. The PURE (prospective urban rural epidemiology) study concluded the potential advantage of total fat and saturated fats (SFA) over carbohydrates on blood lipids with the inaccurate assessment of dietary fats. We investigated the dietary fat profile among 48,315 participants (aged 30−70 years, national representative) from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance (2015−2017), determined the relationship of various fats with blood lipid biomarkers in the selected 39,115 participants, and compared the results with the PURE study.
