Drink like a man? Modified Poisson analysis of adolescent binge drinking in the US, 1976-2022.

This study estimates temporal trajectories and sociodemographic disparities in underage adolescent binge drinking in the United States over the past four decades. By compiling 47 waves of national representative data from the Monitoring the Future (MTF) study between 1976 and 2022, we analyzed two types of adolescent binge drinking behaviors, past-two-week excessive drinking and drunkenness in the past 30 days, using the innovative modified Poisson (mixture) approach to grouped and right-censored counts (GRC). The overall decrease in incidence rates was attributable to substantial reductions in the risks of excessive drinking (45.

Does Smartphone Use Affect Attitudes Toward Aging Among Older Adults in Rural Areas? An Empirical Analysis Using Data from the Chinese Longitudinal Aging Social Survey.

Fostering positive attitudes toward aging among older adults serves as a key measure of success in promoting active aging. Based on microdata from the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey in 2018, this study uses ordinary least squares (OLS) and the two-stage least squares (2SLS) to evaluate the impact of smartphone use on the attitudes toward aging among older adults in rural areas. The results show that smartphone use significantly relieves older adults' negative attitudes toward aging, with effects persisting even after employing robust estimations and instrumental variable techniques to address endogeneity concerns.

How social media exposure constructs social confidence: An empirical study on impact, mechanisms, and multilateral relationships.

Social confidence functions as a vital spiritual force in fostering the positive and healthy evolution of society. This paper explores how social media exposure contributes to the construction of social confidence within the framework of Media-system Dependency Theory. The research unveils the following key findings: (1) Social media exposure positively facilitates social confidence; (2) Group efficacy and group cohesion, perceived as manifestations of cognitive divergence between "efficacy" and "collective" within collective efficacy, both serve as mediating mechanisms influencing the impact of social media exposure on social confidence.

Assessing long-term effects of gaseous air pollution exposure on mortality in the United States using a variant of difference-in-differences analysis.

Long-term mortality effects of particulate air pollution have been investigated in a causal analytic frame, while causal evidence for associations with gaseous air pollutants remains extensively lacking, especially for carbon monoxide (CO) and sulfur dioxide (SO). In this study, we estimated the causal relationship of long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO), CO, SO, and ozone (O) with mortality. Utilizing the data from National Morbidity, Mortality, and Air Pollution Study, we applied a variant of difference-in-differences (DID) method with conditional Poisson regression and generalized weighted quantile sum regression (gWQS) to investigate the independent and joint effects.

Excess deaths and loss of life expectancy attributed to long-term NO exposure in the Chinese elderly.

Background: Evidence linking nitrogen dioxide (NO) air pollution to life span of high-vulnerability older adults is extensively scarce in low- and middle-income countries. This study seeks to quantify mortality risk, excess deaths, and loss of life expectancy (LLE) associated with long-term exposure to NO among elderly individuals in China.

Methods: A nationwide dynamic cohort of 20352 respondents ≥65 years old were enrolled from the China Longitudinal Health and Longevity Survey during 2005-2018.

Increased mortality risk from airborne exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Background: The potential health effects of airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) among general population remained extensively unstudied. This study sought to investigate the association of short-term exposure to low-level total and 7 carcinogenic PAHs with mortality risk.

Methods: We conducted an individual-level time-stratified case-crossover study in Jiangsu province of eastern China, by investigating over 2 million death cases during 2016-2019.

How Does Physical Exercise Improve the Subjective Well-Being of the Chinese Adult Population? A Moderated Mediation Model.

Based on the 2017 data from the China General Social Survey (CGSS), the conditional process analysis method was used to explore the relationship between physical exercise and subjective well-being, as well as the mediating effect of social capital and the moderating effect of Internet use. This study found that the effect of physical exercise on subjective well-being includes both direct effects and indirect effects.
