Health Literacy,Social Support,and Health Status Among Older Adults

The study examines whether social support interacts with health literacy in affecting the health status of older adults. Health literacy is assessed using the short version of the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults. Social support is measured with the Medical Outcome Study social support scale. Results show, unexpectedly, that rather than buffering the negative effect of low health literacy, social support has a more positive impact on physical health in older adults with high health literacy. Implications for improving the health status of older adults through health literacy and social support are discussed.

Migration,Family Arrangement,and Children's Health in China

With unprecedented migration taking place in China, millions of children are profoundly affected. Using a sample of 916 children (aged 5–18) of migrants and the life course perspective, this article examines the impact of parental migration on children's health. Results show that migration has a complex impact on children's health. Although migrating to cities itself does not benefit children, poor housing conditions in cities have a negative impact on their health. The timing of parental migration is important, as preschoolers migrating with parents and teenagers left behind by parents have significantly worse health than others. Migration also has a gendered effect, as teenage boys benefit from migrating to cities but suffer from being left behind when compared to teenage girls.     

大品牌食品、食品系统及全球健康

谁支配着全球食品系统?总的来说世界食品系统被生产大品牌食品的寡头卖主垄断着,而不是小生产者竞争的市场。但是,被大品牌食品垄断的全球食品体系,满足不了现代饮食的健康与安全需求。仅凭寡头卖主,难以保证现代饮食的健康与安全,因为利润增长是其首要目标。公共卫生界的核心目的就是必须让大品牌食品的盈利动机与公众健康的目标相一致。不采取直接的、相关的行动去揭露和制约大品牌食品的既得利益的话,那么贫困的流行、饥饿和肥胖很可能会变得更加严重。     

Early-Childhood Poverty and Adult Attainment, Behavior, and Health

This article assesses the consequences of poverty between a child's prenatal year and 5th birthday for several adult achievement, health, and behavior outcomes, measured as late as age 37. Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (1,589) and controlling for economic conditions in middle childhood and adolescence, as well as demographic conditions at the time of the birth, findings indicate statistically significant and, in some cases, quantitatively large detrimental effects of early poverty on a number of attainment-related outcomes (adult earnings and work hours). Early-childhood poverty was not associated with such behavioral measures as out-of-wedlock childbearing and arrests. Most of the adult earnings effects appear to operate through early poverty's association with adult work hours.     

Connecting Education,Welfare, and Health for American Families

The relationship of education to social mobility, health, and socioeconomic stability is examined in this study. The central question is: how do educational access and attainment reduce poverty and increase social immersion in a system that affords opportunity for quality health care and economic prosperity? An historic perspective, related and compared to current conditions for those who live at or below the poverty line, highlights the extreme difficulties of overcoming the barriers that separate people from consistent quality education, access to quality health care, and the opportunity to move toward economic independence.

The latest statistics showing the significance of socioeconomic status (SES) to cognitive development, educational achievement, healthy living, and social mobility are factors that have and continue to affect large portions of America's poor. The increase of early childhood programs is a beneficial first step in closing the achievement gap, but the physical and mental health problems plaguing the poor must be addressed if we are to reduce the poverty rate and improve educational opportunities for all children.

市民网络、性别与乡城流动人口的心理健康

相对于城市户籍人口,乡城流动人口面临更高的心理健康风险。既有研究对于风险因素的考察仍然局限于流动人口的个体特征,忽视了社会关系对于理解心理健康的重要性。因此,有必要从社会网络视角出发,考察流动人口和本地市民之间的关系状况对其心理健康的影响。问卷调查数据的统计分析表明,市民网络对心理健康的影响存在显著的性别差异。一方面,市民网络的四个结构指标对男性流动人口的心理健康都不存在显著影响。另一方面,除网络规模外,其他三个结构指标对女性流动人口的心理健康都存在显著影响。而且,引入网络指标能够明显提升对女性流动人口心理健康的解释力,但对解释男性流动人口的心理健康则几乎没有帮助。完全交互模型的分析结果进一步表明,关系强度和网络相对地位对男女流动人口心理健康的影响存在显著差异。     

Social Support,Psychological Well-being,and Health Among the Elderly

This article is based on the influence that participation in the Third Age University Program has on the health and well-being of the elderly and with the mediation of social support. The data were obtained from a longitudinal study of 147 elderly students of the Third Age University of Seville (Spain). The hypothesis was that the elders who belong to the program would have, as a consequence of their participation in it, better health, well-being, and social support. The results revealed the influence that social support exercises on well-being and, as a result, upon health.
