“…Same findings also reported by Chan and Devi 8 in Singapore ( r = 0.65, P < .05), Malaysia ( r = 0.68, P < .05), and Thailand ( r = 0.64, P < .05). Similar findings were found by Ye et al 25 in China (β = 0.827, P < .05) and the United States (β = 0.994, P < .05). On the other hand, Duque et al 1 and Hill et al 29 reported that there was no significant impact of GDP on LE ( r = 0.252, P = .371) in Brazil, as well as in the United States (β = −0.470, P > .05).…”

Ye et al 25 reported that every1% increment of total health expenditure increased 0.795 ( P < .05) LE in China and 0.988 ( P < .05) LE in the United States. However, Kabir 9 reported that per capita health expenditure was not statistically significant in determining LE (β = −.001, P > .05).…”

Ye et al 25 found that the ageing index showed a significant relation on LE in China ( r = 0.980, P < .05) and the United States ( r = 0.834, P < .05).

Objective This review was aimed at systematically synthesizing and appraising the existing literature of sociodemographic, macroeconomic, and health resources factors on life expectancy. Methods A systematic literature search of English databases, that is, PubMed/MEDLINE were scrutinized for exploring sociodemographic, macroeconomic, and health resources factors on life expectancy. The literature search was conducted in January 2020, covering a total of 46 articles from 2004 to 2019 met the review criteria, which were fully discussed subsequently. Findings Among sociodemographic factors, infant mortality rate, literacy rate, education level, socioeconomic status, population growth, and gender inequality have a significant impact on life expectancy. Gross domestic product, Gini, income level, unemployment rate, and inflation rate are the main macroeconomic factors that significantly correlated with life expectancy. Among various health care resources, health care facilities, the number of the health care profession, public health expenditure, death rates, smoking rate, pollution, and vaccinations had a significant correlation with life expectancy. Conclusions The systematic review showed general conformity of different studies, with a significant association between life expectancy and factors comprising several sociodemographic, macroeconomic, and various health care variables. This review found that only one study examined factors affecting life expectancy in Arabic countries. More studies on this region to fill this research gap were highly recommended.

Estimates of the depression prevalence among Chinese university students vary considerably across studies. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively analyze the depression prevalence among Chinese university students. We searched four electronic databases with the search terms of depression, China, university student, and questionnaire. Studies reporting depression among Chinese university students were included in the analysis. Two reviewers independently extracted the data and assessed the qualities of the studies. The package of “meta” in R Foundation for Statistical Computing was used to calculate an overall proportion in a random-effects model with 95% confidence intervals. Subgroup analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors on the depression prevalence. Any conflict in the data analysis was discussed by all the reviewers. A total of 113 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of depression among Chinese university students was shown to be 28.4% (n = 185,787), with 95%CI from 25.7 to 31.2%. The overall depression prevalence among Chinese university students was still relatively high. More efforts need to be done to provide better mental healthcare to university students in China.

“…As we all know that university students are more prone to experience high levels of uncertainty stress ( 23 ), not only including future uncertainty but also current uncertainty, for example, rapid socio-economic transition, increased job competition, immature social values, and feelings of social anomie ( 24 , 25 ), which are collectively known as uncertainty stress (US). China is now one of the world's fastest-growing economies ( 26 ), many policies were also changed in recent years in China. For example, the one-child policy has been abolished by the Chinese government ( 27 ), China is still expanding enrollment at universities ( 28 ).…”

Background: The evidence on the association between benevolent childhood experience (BCE) and depressive symptoms in students is complex. This study aims to explore the underlying mediation mechanism of BCE toward depressive symptoms and whether this link was moderated by the family relationship among Chinese undergraduates.Methods: From March 2021 to May 2021, a cross-sectional study was conducted in China, and 1821 undergraduates were recruited in this study. Participants were asked to complete a self-reported electronic questionnaire. The software SPSS PROCESS macro was used to test the mediation and mediated moderated modeling analysis.Results: Mediation analysis indicated that uncertainty stress (US) partly mediated the link between BCE and depressive symptoms (indirect effect = −0.47, 95% bootstrap CI = −0.55, −0.39). The indirect effect of the US accounted for 39.63% of the total variance in depression. Moderation analysis indicated that the association between the US and depressive symptoms was significantly modified by family relationships (interact effect = −0.019, P < 0.001). An integrative moderated mediation analysis indicated that the indirect effect from BCE to depressive symptoms through the US was also moderated by family relationships (interact effect = −0.012, P = 0.014).Conclusion: Uncertainty stress plays a key role in bridging BCE and depressive symptoms while the family relationship can buffer the impact of the US on depressive symptoms among Chinese undergraduates. Enhancing tolerance of uncertainty and improving family relationships are needed to protect undergraduates from depressive symptoms.
