During the COVID-19 pandemic, science communication played a crucial role in disseminating accurate information and promoting scientific literacy among the public. However, the rise of anti-intellectualism on social media platforms has posed significant challenges to science, scientists, and science communication, hindering effective public engagement with scientific affairs. This study aims to explore the mechanisms through which anti-intellectualism impacts science communication on social media platforms from the perspective of communication effect theory.

Over the past decade, sexual transmission has become a dominant source of new HIV-1 infection in China. However, very few studies have been conducted to characterize the two sexual transmissions, homosexual and heterosexual transmission. This study was conducted to better understand the relationship between genotypes, drug resistance, and molecular transmission networks in two groups of sexually transmitted HIV-1 in Ningxia, China.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an important indicator for assessing obesity and related health risks. With the rapid socio-economic development and changes in lifestyle, abnormal BMI (such as underweight, overweight, and obesity) has become an increasingly serious public health issue. This study aims to explore the impact of exercise frequency on BMI among Chinese adults aged 19 to 59, and to analyze the role of dietary behaviors in regulating BMI, providing a basis for BMI intervention strategies.

The non-emergency transfer multi-level protection system is a pivotal livelihood endeavor in China, serving as a vital diversified component within the robust framework of a Chinese-style modern social security system. This system faces various challenges, including displacement of emergency capacity by non-emergency demands, uneven allocation of transfer resources, service quality variations, inadequate management structures, limited regulatory frameworks, and social acceptance issues.

Differences exist in the rate of aging between individuals residing in urban and rural areas in China, with rural areas experiencing a more pronounced impact. Smart aging represents a prevalent future trend in this regard, though its development will inevitably face challenges. However, studies focusing on rural areas are scarce. Future models of aging in less developed regions, including rural areas and townships, are expected to integrate and draw inspiration from the smart aging paradigm.

To assess the current status of knowledge, attitude, and practice pertaining to tuberculosis prevention among college students in Hainan Province, China, and to identify influential factors. The findings of this study are intended to provide valuable insights for the development and implementation of effective health education programs aimed at tuberculosis prevention and control.

The aim of this study is to develop and validate a prediction model for fall risk factors in hospitalized older adults with osteoporosis.

Sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity, and hypertension are all widespread public health problems in middle-aged and older populations, and their association is controversial. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between obesity, sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity with hypertension in a middle-aged and older community population in China through a large-scale longitudinal design.

The study aims to explore the relationship between impostor phenomenon and emotional exhaustion among nurses and to examine the potential mediating role of bi-directional work-family conflict.

This research seeks to explore the relationship between Internet use and attitudes toward aging among older adults in China, with a particular emphasis on the mediating role of health in this correlation.

Relaxing entry regulation for private hospitals and fostering competition in the healthcare market are crucial prerequisites for addressing the diverse healthcare demands of the population and promoting the development of a Healthy China. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the health effect of relaxing entry regulation for private hospitals and to examine its nonlinear characteristics.

Biodosimetry is crucial for assessing ionizing radiation exposure to guide medical responses. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy using fingernails can be effectively used for both occupational and public dose assessments in radiological accidents because of their accessibility and ability to retain stable radiation-induced free radicals. However, despite two decades of research, challenges remain in achieving accurate fingernail dosimetry, mainly owing to the variation in ESR signals among individuals. The purpose of this study was to explore inter-individual differences in ESR signals in fingernails to improve the accuracy and reliability of extremity dosimetry. Fingernail samples were collected from 15 participants (age: 11-64 years), irradiated with X-rays (160 kV, 6.3 mA) at 0, 5, 10, and 20 Gy, and measured using ESR spectroscopy. The effects of individual factors, such as age, sex, health condition, and lifestyle, on radiation-induced ESR signals (RIS) were investigated. Younger participants exhibited stronger RIS intensities and a more linear dose-response relationship. The RIS intensity in female samples tended to be higher than that in male samples. Interestingly, the fingernals of middle-aged donors who regularly took vitamin supplements showed significantly higher ESR signal intensities than those of similar-age donors who did not take supplements. Notable reductions in RIS intensity during storage in a freezer were observed only in older donor samples irradiated at higher doses. These findings underscores the importance of considering age and other individual factors in the calibration for fingernail dosimetry.

This study aims to assess the relationship between modifiable dementia risk factors and both dementia and cognitive decline.

The study explores how humanity influences the development of digitalization on population dynamics during the changing times of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The healthy aging of older adults in dual-older adult communities is influenced by multiple factors, and understanding its underlying mechanisms can promote healthy aging among the older adults in a wide range of developing countries. This comprehensive study delves into the intricate interplay between multifaceted built environmental factors, and their direct and indirect effects on the successful AIP residing in double-aging neighborhoods.

Education (EDU) enhances life expectancy (LEF) by improving health literacy and access to healthcare, leading to healthier lifestyles. Urbanization (URB) fosters better healthcare infrastructure and access to essential services, although it must be managed to avoid negative environmental impacts. Green growth (GG) ensures sustainable development, reduces pollution and environmental risks, and contributes to longer, healthier lives. Therefore, this study examines the impact of EDU, URB and GG on LEF in China from 1990 to 2022.

In the context of escalating public health crises in megacities, promoting green and healthy urban spatial development is crucial. It not only contributes to economic growth and environmental sustainability but also significantly impacts the public health of urban residents.

Inflammation is a critical component in the process of resolved hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) serves as a sensitive indicator of systemic inflammation and immune activation. Our study aimed to investigate the correlation between elevated NLR levels and the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with resolved HBV infection. Additionally, we evaluated the potential mediating effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on this correlation.

Due to the high global prevalence of silicosis and the ongoing challenges in its diagnosis, this pilot study aims to screen biomarkers from routine blood parameters and develop a multi-biomarker model for its early detection.

This study aims to identify risk factors associated with tuberculosis-specific mortality (TSM) in older adult patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and to develop a competing risk nomogram for TSM prediction.

To examine the current landscape of public health functions and the level of cognition among medical staff across various medical institutions in Jiangsu Province, ultimately aiming to provide a theoretical framework for constructing a hospital public health work model under the integrated medical and defense system.
