“…The main findings from our triple difference estimations partially align with existing research, indicating that the introduction of the higher OALA significantly improved certain physical health indicators such as sleep quality and self-rated health (Cheng et al, 2018; Hwang & Lee, 2022; Pak, 2021; Pan et al, 2021; Yuan et al, 2022). However, the higher OALA did not have a significant effect on the prevalence of depression among older adults in Hong Kong.…”

“…Additionally, we assessed three outcome variables related to physical and mental health: self-rated health, sleep quality, and depression.

This research incorporated health-related consumption as an outcome variable, shedding light on the potential role of health-related consumption in mediating the impact of social pension expansion on health outcomes among older people and indication a direction for future research.…”

Huang and Zhang ( 26 ) found the pension from the NRPS improves the nutrition intake, which is in line with the study of the effects of the social pension in Korea ( 27 ).

For instance, the social pension in Korea may have benefitted the health of the beneficiaries by improving their nutrition ( 27 ). The social pensions in South Africa improve health of older persons ( 64 ).…”
