Identifying Community-Built Environment's Effect on Physical Activity and Depressive Symptoms Trajectories Among Middle-aged and Older Adults: Chinese National Longitudinal Study.
JMIR Public Health Surveill

Faculty of Human-Environment Studies, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan.
Background: The effects of physical activity (PA) across different domains and intensities on depressive symptoms remain inconclusive. Incorporating the community-built environment (CBE) into longitudinal analyses of PA's impact on depressive symptoms is crucial.
Objective: This study aims to examine the effects of PA at different intensities-low-intensity PA (eg, walking activities) and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity PA (eg, activities requiring substantial effort and causing faster breathing or shortness of breath)-across leisure-time and occupational domains on depressive symptom trajectories among middle-aged and older adults.

Although leukemia in the Japanese atomic bomb survivor data has long exhibited upward curvature, until recently this appeared not to be the case for solid cancer. It has been suggested that the recently observed upward curvature in the dose response for the Japanese atomic bomb survivor solid cancer mortality data may be accounted for by flattening of the dose response in the moderate dose range (0.3-0.

Background: Despite the critical role of health literacy in utilizing palliative care and engaging in advance care planning, limited research exists on the determinants of end-of-life health literacy. This study investigates the association between individuals' experiences with end-of-life care support to relatives and their end-of-life health literacy among a population-based sample of adults aged 58 and older.
Method: We used data from 1,548 respondents in Switzerland to Wave 8 (2019/2020) of the Survey on Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe.

Against the backdrop of an aging population, community pension initiatives are gaining traction, permeating societal landscapes. This study delves into the equilibrium strategy within the context of a defined benefit pension plan, employing a differential game framework with a community pension model. Hence, the model entails the company's controls over investment rates in funds, juxtaposed with employees' inclination towards a greater proportion of community pension allocation in said funds.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines various pathways for transitioning coal power that can achieve the same carbon emission reduction targets, focusing on costs associated with different mitigation technologies.
- By using a dynamic optimization model for over 4,200 coal plants in China, the research finds that plants can retrofit multiple technologies, retiring at lower costs while enhancing grid stability.
- Optimizing these transition pathways could save China over $700 billion or increase emissions reductions substantially without extra expenses, aiding in a cost-effective phase-out of coal and supporting carbon neutrality goals.
