“…Investigating the health of LGBT parents is especially needed, especially given the potential intersections of parenting stress and experiencing discrimination. Adults living in agricultural economies and rural environments may also face additional stressors, and therefore greater negative impacts on health outcomes, moderated by family formation and family demographic pressures (Uddin, 2017).…”

A systemic approach to researching families and health should capture the complex network within which family members are embedded, including multiple family relationships and larger systems of health care. However, much of the families and health research focused on adult family members has focused solely on intimate partnerships, usually the marital relationship. This neglects the remainder of the powerfully influencing family relationships adults retain, and may increasingly focus on as they age. We conducted a systematic review of the families and adult health literature, retaining 72 articles which were subsequently thematically coded to highlight main foci of this area of research. Results highlight six themes, which include family relationship quality, family composition, behavioral factors in health and health care, psychophysiological mediators, caregiving, and aging health. Findings support an underrepresentation of family members, other than the intimate partner, in research on adult health.

“…Furthermore, compared with people of higher and middle socioeconomic status, people of lower socioeconomic status may suffer worse physical health due to higher family social stress and lower stress control ability ( 31 ). In a randomized cross-sectional study of 1,650 adult men aged 20 to 50 years from rural Bangladesh, the researchers found that compared with men of middle and higher socioeconomic status, men of lower socioeconomic status with higher family socio-demographic stress, economic hardship, family stress and lower psychological resources are most likely to suffer from poor physical health ( 32 ). Therefore, the relatively poor population in rural areas will pay more attention to their own physical conditions, participation in NRCMS has a significant impact on the frequency of physical activity by providing affordable and cost-effective health care services and enhancing their awareness of health care ( 33 ).…”

This study examined the causal relationship between participation in the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) and health status among relatively poor population in rural China. Data were obtained from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) conducted in 2018, which contained 4,507 samples. This study used propensity score matching (PSM) to examine the net effect of participation in the NRCMS on the health of the relatively poor population, and this effect was tested for equilibrium using nearest neighbor matching, radius matching, and kernel matching. This study showed that participation in the NRCMS has a significant and positive effect on the health status of the relatively poor population and the positive health effect may come from three channels, including the increased frequency of physical activity, the fact that an individual is more likely to seek medical care at a lower level of visit, and a plan to reduce health care expenditures.
