The study investigates how social support, loneliness, economic income, and health behaviors are connected among older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the importance of social factors on health.
Using surveys conducted in two towns in Dongguan, China, researchers measured various factors like social support and loneliness through established scales and analyzed the data with advanced statistical methods.
Results showed that loneliness partially mediates the link between social support and health behaviors, and economic income positively influences the relationship between social support and loneliness, indicating the complexities of social interaction in health outcomes for older adults.

- Ziyue Fan's research primarily focuses on the pathogenicity and virulence mechanisms of bacterial infections, particularly in avian and zoonotic diseases, as evidenced by studies on Escherichia coli and Brucella abortus.
- Fan has contributed to understanding quorum sensing in bacteria, demonstrated through the investigation of luxS and its role in Riemerella anatipestifer, highlighting its absence and the organism's ability to regulate biofilm formation via external signaling molecules.
- The author has also advanced methodologies in gene cloning and vaccine development, particularly concerning influenza viruses and the evaluation of anticoccidial agents, indicating a strong interest in veterinary medicine and infectious disease control.
