“…This study revealed that tea consumption was positively associated with all scale scores, except for RP and BP scales, in rural and urban populations. It was consistent with a previous study conducted in China that revealed that drinking tea was associated with a higher QoL (Hou, Bin, Zuxun, & Shilong, 2007). From the regression coefficients, we found that tea consumption had a stronger influence on PF, RE, and MH scales in rural population, whereas it had a stronger influence on GH, VT, and SF scales in urban population.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in the older rural and urban Chinese populations in Zhejiang province. An analysis of the association between potential factors and QoL for these two groups was conducted. A cross-sectional study was conducted from October to December 2007. The total sample consisted of 2,441 rural and 2,554 urban participants. A Chinese version of the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to quantify the QoL of participants. A comparison between the QoL of rural and urban participants was made. The association between potential factors and QoL was performed using a multiple linear regression model. The study revealed all scale scores of SF-36 in the rural population were significantly lower than those in the urban population except general health (GH; p < .001). The common factors associated with high QoL in both older rural and urban populations were gender (male), tea consumption, income, and consumption of alcohol.

“…In this study, these actions led to a reduction in anthocyanin content in their leaves, the greening of the leaves, and atavism. In addition, the study of Hou [10] indicates that, in addition to having high photosynthetic activity in spring and autumn, the leaves also have a slow rate of water loss, and that good water retention also allows for the dilution of anthocyanins and a decrease in their content. Therefore, we speculate that changes in environmental conditions during the growth process, such as higher temperature and light, increased plant water retention, increased water content, and decreased anthocyanin content, may also cause the leaves to turn green and cause atavism.…”

“…Previous studies on leaf color changes in 'Zhonghuahongye' have primarily focused on leaf pigment changes and metabolite changes [10]. Although metabonomic studies for flavonoids have been conducted using 'Zhonghuahongye' [11], there has been limited research focusing on flavonoid biosynthesis.…”

Anthocyanins are among the flavonoids that serve as the principal pigments affecting the color of plants. During leaf growth, the leaf color of ‘Zhonghuahongye’ gradually changes from copper-brown to yellow-green. At present, the mechanism of color change at different stages has not yet been discovered. To find this, we compared the color phenotype, metabolome, and transcriptome of the three leaf stages. The results showed that the anthocyanin content of leaves decreased by 62.5% and the chlorophyll content increased by 204.35%, 69.23%, 155.56% and 60%, respectively. Differential metabolites and genes were enriched in the pathway related to the synthesis of ‘Zhonghuahongye’ flavonoids and anthocyanins and to the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Furthermore, 273 flavonoid metabolites were detected, with a total of eight classes. DFR, FLS and ANS downstream of anthocyanin synthesis may be the key structural genes in reducing anthocyanin synthesis and accumulation in the green leaf of ‘Zhonghuahongye’. The results of multi-omics analysis showed that the formation of color was primarily affected by anthocyanin regulation and its related synthesis-affected genes. This study preliminarily analyzed the green regression gene and metabolic changes in ‘Zhonghuahongye’ red leaves and constitutes a reference for the molecular breeding of ‘Zhonghuahongye’ red leaves.

The benefits of tea consumption as a special diet for health and life satisfaction have attracted considerable attention; however, it is not clear whether the effect of tea consumption on self‐rated health (SRH) and self‐rated life satisfaction (SRL) is equal among all types of tea, and it is unclear whether these associations are impacted by gender and age in older adults. This study aimed to examine the associations between tea consumption, SRH and SRL in older adults and to explore the role of gender and age. Participants aged 65–105 (N = 78,345) were interviewed in the years 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2018 in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Study (CLHLS). Generalized estimation equations (GEE) with the identity link function were adopted to estimate the cross‐sectional associations of tea consumption with SRH and SRL. GEE with the logic link function were used to explore the longitudinal associations of tea consumption with SRH decline and SRL decline. Drinking tea at present, especially scented tea, was significantly associated with better SRH and SRL for older adults. Male participants benefited more from tea consumption than females, and the protective effect of green tea consumption on improving SRH and SRL in males was evident. Older adults aged 90–105 with current tea consumption daily had better SRH and reduced risk of SRL decline.
