This study investigates the relationship between agricultural payment mechanisms, medical cost anxiety, and income mobility in China. The study made use of the World Bank (2021) Global Financial Inclusion data. Utilizing a range of figures to visually represent data trends and relationships, the study reports how agricultural payment mechanisms relate to income mobility while accounting for the impact of medical cost anxiety. The findings reveal that while agricultural payments positively affect income mobility, their effectiveness is significantly dampened by the presence of high medical expenses. Households that receive agricultural payments but face substantial healthcare costs tend to experience limited upward mobility compared to those with lower medical expenditures. The study concludes that to improve income mobility in rural China, policy interventions must address both agricultural productivity and healthcare affordability. A dual approach that integrates agricultural subsidies with healthcare reforms is recommended, focusing on expanding access to affordable healthcare, reducing out-of-pocket expenses, and strengthening social safety nets.

A substantial body of research has explored the relationship between inequality and health, yet little is known about the gender-specific effects and pathways through which inequality affects health outcomes. This study focuses on China, a country characterized by high income inequality and uneven health distribution across social groups. In Study 1, repeated nationally representative cross-sectional data from the Chinese General Social Survey is utilized (N = 3798 for 2017, N = 1578 for 2015, and N = 2827 for 2008), revealing that perceived inequality negatively affects self-rated health, particularly among women.

Background: We aimed to identify specific multimorbidity latent classes among multi-ethnic community-dwelling adults aged ≥ 18 years in Malaysia. We further explored the risk factors associated with these patterns and examined the relationships between the multimorbidity patterns and 11-year all-cause mortality risk, as well as health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Methods: Using data from 18,101 individuals (aged 18-97 years) from the baseline Census 2012, Health Round 2013, and Verbal Autopsies 2012-2023 of the South East Asia Community Observatory (SEACO) health and demographic surveillance system, latent class analysis was performed on 13 chronic health conditions to identify statistically and clinically meaningful groups.
