The study aimed to analyze gender differences in behavioral and emotional problems among children and adolescents in China using a national survey and Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist.
Results revealed that boys generally display more severe behavioral and emotional issues than girls, with "Attention problems" and "Aggressive behavior" showing the strongest associations across both genders, regardless of age.
The findings suggest that focusing on interventions for aggressive behavior, anxiety/depression, and social problems could be effective in addressing these issues in youth.

Older adults with heart disease often show higher rates of depression and anxiety compared to their peers without heart disease, indicating a need for targeted mental health support.
The study used network analysis to assess the symptoms of depression and anxiety in these two groups, finding that the central and bridge symptoms were similar across both, despite the higher prevalence in the heart disease group.
Interventions designed to help older adults without heart disease may also be effective for those with heart disease due to the similar symptom network structures identified in the study.*

The study investigates the differences in mental and behavioral problems between children and adolescents from one-child families versus those from multi-child families, using a nationwide survey.
Researchers used techniques like propensity score matching and Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist to analyze and compare the network structures of these problems.
Findings revealed distinct symptom patterns, with multi-child families showing a higher global strength in their network and different central symptoms, indicating the need for tailored interventions for both family types.
