“…It is observed that the regression coefficient of marriage is 0.014 > 0, indicating that marriage will have a positive effect on health ( 47 ). Debt is not related to health, which is different from the conclusions of Clayton et al ( 48 ) and Andelic and Feeney ( 49 ), which may be related to the sample data in this paper and the debt structure of Chinese residents.…”

The impact of energy consumption on health has become a widely debated topic around the world. However, much of the current research on this topic lacks a theoretical basis. As a result, this paper employs both theoretical and empirical analysis to investigate the impact of household clean energy consumption on residents' health. First, based on the theories of health economics and energy economics, this paper believes that the usage of clean energy can improve the health of residents. Then, the sample for this study is comprised of data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, and the Order Probit Model is applied for the empirical analysis. The outcomes of basic regression, robustness testing, and the treatment of endogenous factors reveal that the usage of clean energy has greatly benefited the health of residents. Furthermore, the heterogeneity analysis shows that long-term use of clean energy greatly improved the health of non-religious people and had a more pronounced impact on the health of women and low-income residents. In addition, the mechanistic analysis indicates that subjective happiness and air quality played a partial mediating role in the impact of cleaner energy consumption on health. Finally, cleaner household energy reduced the prevalence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, lung disease, asthma, and depression. The conclusion of this paper supports the view of some existing literature, and several policy recommendations are made based on the research findings.

“…This had a negative effect on individuals’ well-being and mental health ( Borrescio-Higa et al, 2022 ). Job uncertainty and financial distress caused by the pandemic, as well as debt management challenges ( Andelic and Feeney, 2023 ), are linked to increased anxiety and depression ( Wilson et al, 2020 ). Similarly, our study found that WD patients who suffered income loss reported elevated levels of stress, anxiety, and a decrease in perceived mental health.…”

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the mental health of individuals with chronic conditions such as Wilson’s Disease (WD). This study investigates stress, anxiety, depression, quality of life, cognitive function, vaccination rates, infection rates, and perceptions related to the pandemic and vaccines among WD patients.MethodsThe study analyzed COVID-19 perceptions and vaccine attitudes of 62 adult WD patients enrolled in the international multisite WD Registry. A subgroup of 33 participants completed a series of mental health scales. The effect of working essentially, income loss, wellness activity initiation, and infection of COVID-19 during the pandemic was observed.ResultsResults indicate that, overall, the pandemic did not exacerbate anxiety or cognitive function in WD patients but did lead to increased depression among essential workers. Patients experiencing income loss exhibited higher levels of stress and anxiety. Despite these challenges, WD patients showed high vaccination rates and positive attitudes towards vaccines.DiscussionThe findings underscore the significant impact of the pandemic on the mental health of WD patients.

“…There is considerable evidence from developed countries of an increase in mental health disorders during times of economic recession. [ 8 , 9 ] Increasing inequalities, social fragmentation, unemployment, rising debts, and falling standard of living[ 10 ] were identified as the pathways through which recession increases psychopathology; furthermore, such effects were long lasting. [ 11 ] The economic impact of lockdowns to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic recession was, therefore, expected to have a significant effect on the mental health of the general population.…”

Background: The causal impact of income shocks on mental well-being in developing countries is an under-researched area. The COVID-19 pandemic, along with the economic recession caused by the lockdowns to reduce transmission, provides a natural experimental setting to examine the causal impact of a decline in monthly per capita expenditure (MPCE) on mental health of the general population in India during the pandemic. Aim: To evaluate the impact of income shocks on mental health of adults in metro cities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: The data were collected using the abridged version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Schedule administered through a telephonic survey on adult residents of six metropolitan cities in September–August 2020 and July–August 2021. Results: In the present study, 994 adults participated from six metropolitan cities. Average treatment effects were estimated using Propensity Score Matching. The mean normalized scores are significantly higher for respondents whose MPCE had fallen (treated) vis-à-vis respondents whose MPCE had remained same or increased (control): anxiety (0.21 for treated vs –0.19 for control), stress (0.16 vs –0.14), and depression (0.04 vs –0.19). Propensity score matching reveals that the normalized scores for anxiety, stress, and depression were 33 (95% confidence intervals, CI: 20.0–46.7), 25 (95% CI: 12.9–36.9), and 36 (95% CI: 18.6–53.1) higher among the treated group vis-a-vis control group. The ATET was 34 (95% CI: 18.9–48.9), 26 (95% CI: 10.1–42.9), and 32 (955 CI: 12.3–50.7) for these three outcomes, respectively. The post-estimation tests indicated that the results are valid. Conclusions: The study advocates that policies to ensure income security should be made an integral part of the response packages to tackle pandemics like COVID-19.
