“…According to the air quality data we studied, the average AQI in the eastern and central regions is 85 and 83, respectively, higher than 66 in the western regions. With regard to the significant difference in the east, a possible explanation is that the level of economic development in the east is higher than that in the west (35,51), and the AP is serious, which has a more significant impact on the elderly exposed to With regard to the significant impact path of pollution, our findings are consistent with previous studies. Briefly, NO 2 and O 3 proved to be more relevant to health (17, 52).…”

MethodsWe selected 5,172 microdata on individuals from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2018. The binary logit model, the ordered logit model, and the stepwise regression were employed to compare the effects of air pollution on self-rated health (SRH) and activities of daily living (ADL) in an elderly population. The effects on health shocks were explored in different age groups, different gender groups, different regions and different sources of pollutants, respectively.ResultsWe found that air pollution significantly increased the risk of health shocks in the elderly population, especially in the 60–69 year age group, and the eastern/central region, where NO2 and O3 were important pollutant sources.ConclusionTargeted management of the environment is necessary to improve the health status of China's elderly population. In addition, paying attention to the health status of vulnerable populations is needed to achieve social equity.

“…It attempts to set up a high-quality public micro-database that can provide a wide range of information from socioeconomic status to health conditions to serve scientific research needs or the elderly ( 36 ). Currently, CHARLS is widely used in the study of the health of middle-aged and old people in China ( 37 – 40 ). The national baseline survey was conducted in 2011, with wave 2 in 2013, wave 3 in 2015, and wave 4 in 2018, respectively.…”

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to empirically examine the impact of environmental information disclosure on the health of middle-aged and old residents and investigate whether such disclosure can improve the health of middle-aged and old residents.MethodsThis study matches the data of the Pollution Information Transparency Index (PITI) and China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2018 and uses the ordered logistic regression model to assess the impact of environmental information disclosure on the health of middle-aged and old residents. Furthermore, stepwise regression, ordinary least square, and ordered probit regression models are used for robustness tests. The IV-Ordered probit regression model solves the endogenous problem.ResultsEnvironmental information disclosure has a significant positive correlation with the health level of middle-aged and old residents. After the robustness test and endogenous problem handling, this conclusion still holds. Estimation results show that when PITI increases by 1 unit, the probability of improving the self-reported health level and actual health level of middle-aged and old residents increases by 1 and 0.87%, respectively. The impact of environmental information disclosure on the health of middle-aged and old residents also has significant regional heterogeneity. Specifically, the impact is mainly reflected in the central region of China.ConclusionEnvironmental information disclosure can improve the health of middle-aged and old residents. To improve the health of middle-aged and old residents, it is necessary to implement and enhance the environmental information disclosure system continuously. The anti-driving effect of environmental information disclosure on the treatment of environmental pollution must be intensified further, particularly focusing on the central region of China, where is more polluted and more concentrated than other regions.

Background Chronic diseases are becoming a critical challenge to the aging Chinese population. Biobanks with extensive genomic and environmental data offer opportunities to elucidate the complex gene-environment interactions underlying their aetiology. Genome-wide genotyping array remains an efficient approach for large-scale genomic data collection. However, most commercial arrays have reduced performance for biobanking in Chinese. Materials and Methods Deep whole-genome sequencing data from 2 641 Chinese individuals were used as a reference to develop the CAS array, a custom designed genotyping array for precision medicine. Evaluation of the array was performed by comparing data from 384 individuals assayed both by the array and whole-genome sequencing. Validation of its mitochondrial copy number estimating capacity was conducted by examining its association with established covariates among 10 162 Chinese elderly. Results The CAS Array adopts the proven Axiom technology and is restricted to a number of 652 429 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Its call rate of 99.79% and concordance rate of 99.89% are both higher than commercial arrays. Its imputation-based genome coverage reached 98.3% for common SNPs and 63.0% for low-frequency SNPs, both comparable to commercial arrays with larger SNP capacity. After validating its mitochondrial copy number estimates, we developed a publicly available software tool to facilitate the array utility. Conclusion Based on the recent advance in genomic science, we designed and implemented a high-throughput and low-cost genotyping array. It is more cost-effective than commercial arrays for large scale Chinese biobanking.
