“…Adult SES was a continuous variable ranging from 0 to 3 with 1 point each if the respondent answered yes to the questions:(1) having 1+years education;(2) primary lifetime occupation was professional;(3) urban resident [ 30 ]. Childhood SES was a continuous variable ranging from 0 to 5 with 1 point each if the respondent answered yes to the questions: (1) obtained adequate medical services at childhood; (2) went to bed without hunger at childhood; (3) both parents were alive when the participant was age 14;(4) the participant’s father’s occupation was professional/administration; (5) place of birth was urban [ 22 ]. Health conditions included self-rated health status, self-reported chronic disease (hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke or cerebrovascular disease, lung disease), and activities of daily life (ADL).…”

“…Childhood SES has an impact on health outcomes in later life, and lower childhood SES is associated specifically with poor adult oral health [ 20 , 21 ]. Additionally, lower childhood SES has been found to be associated with cognitive decline in old age [ 22 , 23 ]. A test of tooth loss’ relationship with trajectory of cognitive function while controlling for childhood SES is particularly interesting.…”

ObjectivesTo examine the association between the number of teeth remaining and cognitive decline among Chinese older adults over a 13-year period.DesignA large national longitudinal survey of Chinese older adultsSettingThe Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) (1998–2011).ParticipantsA total of 8,153 eligible participants aged 60+ interviewed in up to six waves.MeasurementsCognitive function and teeth number were measured at each interview. Cognitive function was measured by the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE). Number of natural teeth was self-reported. Individuals with severe cognitive impairment were excluded. Covariates included demographic characteristics, adult socioeconomic status characteristics, childhood socioeconomic status, health conditions, and health behaviors. Linear mixed models were applied in the analysis.ResultsThe mean teeth number at baseline was 17.5(SD = 0.1), and the mean of baseline cognitive function was 27.3(SD = 0.0). Cognitive function declined over time (β = -0.19, P < .001) after controlling covariates. But, regardless of time, more teeth were associated with better cognitive function (β = 0.01, P < .001). The interaction of teeth number and time was significant (β = 0.01, P < .001), suggesting that the participants who had more teeth showed a slower pace of cognitive decline over time than those with fewer teeth after controlling for other covariates.ConclusionThis study showed that tooth loss was associated with cognitive decline among Chinese older adults. Further studies are needed to examine the linkages between cognitive decline and oral health status using clinical examination data.

“…To avoid survivor bias [33], we use a static three-equation seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model framework for unbalanced panel data with latent individual heterogeneity [34,35]. The SUR model explains the variation of not just one dependent variable, as in the univariate multiple regression model, but the variation of a set of m dependent variables [36], estimating consistently better than the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) does [37].…”

Background: With rapid urbanization in China, the scale of elderly migrants from rural areas to urban cities has increased rapidly from 5.03 million in 2000 to 13.4 million people in 2015. Methods: Based on the unbalanced panel data obtained from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, this study investigates the impact of changes to the New Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS) on the medical expenditure of Chinese elderly rural migrants by using seemingly unrelated regression models. Results: NCMS coverage for elderly rural migrants rose from 11.83% in 2005 to 87.33% in 2014. The effective reimbursement rate increased significantly from 4.53% in 2005 to 36.44% in 2014, and out-of-pocket/income fell by 50% between 2005 and 2014. The NCMS significantly increased the effective reimbursement rate by 12.4% and out-of-pocket medical expenditure/income by 7.5% during this decade but played an insignificant role in reducing out-of-pocket payments. Conclusions: Policy makers need to promote a two-pronged strategy, which involves controlling the excessive growth of urban medical expenses and continuing to reform NCMS reimbursements for medical treatment, so non-urban resident elderly rural migrants can fully enjoy the welfare benefits of migration and urbanization.

Results of way of life studies permitted to determine the role of health indicators in earlier age in connection with emotional welfare and quality of further life (Han and Shibusawa, 2015;Arziutov et al, 2016;Ivashchenko et al, 2016;Podrigalo et al, 2016). Certain sense has study of biological mechanisms, which can explain differences between life spans of tall and short people (Samaras, 2014).…”

Purpose: to form system of application of self-regulation psycho-physical means on mature and aged people. Material: experimental (n=28) and control (n=26) groups consisted of 55-60 years' age man, who did not practice sports beforehand and who had low mobile way of life. All man had no pathology in their health. All they gave written consent for participation in the research. The complex of special exercises was practiced every day during 20-30 minutes. We regularly registered indicators of heart beats rate during autogenous trainings in first, second and third weeks of psycho-physical means' application: autogenous trainings and exercises of special gymnastic. Results: we worked out a variant of autogenous training, which implies visualization of some objects. Such approach facilitates relaxation and creation of rejuvenation and health improvement image. We also developed special gymnastic on the base of Taoist health related physical exercises. Autogenous training, in combination with special exercises qigong cause changes, required for economic functioning of organism. Autogenous training greatly influence on heart beats rate. Change of this indicators is especially noticeable in first week of autogenous training's practicing. Combination of special qigong exercises and autogenous training renders positive influence on vegetative balance and orthostatic stability of elderly people. We worked out the structure of psycho-physical means for rising mature and older people's functional state. Conclusions: the offered system slows down the temps of ageing and activates adaptation mechanisms. It permits to compensate negative changes in organism. We marked out three
