The Association Between the Digital Divide and Health Inequalities Among Older Adults in China: Nationally Representative Cross-Sectional Survey.

Background: Health inequalities among older adults become increasingly pronounced as aging progresses. In the digital era, some researchers argue that access to and use of digital technologies may contribute to or exacerbate these existing health inequalities. Conversely, other researchers believe that digital technologies can help mitigate these disparities.

Long-term effects of particulate matter on incident cardiovascular diseases in middle-aged and elder adults: The CHARLS cohort study.

Background: Although there is evidence of long-term effects of particulate matter (PM) on cardiovascular diseases (CVD), researches about long-term effects of PM on CVD are limited. We aimed to examine the long-term effects and magnitude of PM, especially PM, on incident CVD in China.

Methods: We included 6016 participants aged ≥ 45 years without CVD at baseline in 2011 from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.

Long-term effect of submicronic particulate matter (PM) and intermodal particulate matter (PM) on incident dyslipidemia in China: A nationwide 5-year cohort study.

Background: There is insufficient evidence of associations between incident dyslipidemia with PM (submicronic particulate matter) and PM (intermodal particulate matter) in the middle-aged and elderly. We aimed to determine the long-term effects of PM and PM on incident dyslipidemia respectively.

Methods: We studied 6976 individuals aged ≥45 from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study from 2013 to 2018.

Long-term effect of intermediate particulate matter (PM) on incident asthma among middle-aged and elderly adults: A national population-based longitudinal study.

Background: There is insufficient evidence about the long-term effects of intermediate particulate matter (PM) on asthma development in adults aged 45 years and above. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between long-term exposure to PM and the incidence of asthma in adults aged 45 years and above.

Methods: A cohort study based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) database was conducted to investigate the long-term effects of PM on self-reported asthma incidence in adults aged 45 years and above in China from 2011 to 2018.
