Depressive symptoms and its influencing factors of older people with cataracts in China: a national cross-sectional survey

BackgroundDepressive symptoms are a common complication in patients with cataracts and may exacerbate cataract symptoms. Therefore, it is important to focus on depressive symptoms and their influencing factors in older people with cataracts. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence rate of depressive symptoms and influencing factors in Chinese older people with cataracts.MethodsDescriptive analyses were used to report the sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, health status, and depressive symptoms of old people with cataracts in China. The chi-square test was used to compare differences between subjects with different demographic characteristics. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors that influenced the depressive symptoms of cataract patients. Meanwhile, a random forest model was developed in this study to rank the importance of the influencing factors.ResultsThree hundred and six (25.27%) of 1,211 cataract patients included in this study suffered from depressive symptoms. Logistic regression analysis suggested that poor economic situation (AOR = 3.162, 95%CI: 1.719–5.817), social participation (AOR = 1.530, 95%CI: 1.053–2.222), having hearing disorder (AOR = 1.445, 95%CI: 1.040–2.008), poor self-reported health status (AOR = 2.646, 95%CI: 1.705–4.106), poor life satisfaction (AOR = 3.586, 95%CI: 1.652–7.784) were risk factors for depressive symptoms in cataract patients and consumption of fresh fruits (AOR = 0.587, 95%CI: 0.369–0.933) was a protective factor for depressive symptoms in cataract patients. The results of the random forest showed that self-reported health status was the most important factor influencing depressive symptoms in cataract patients. The other factors, in order of importance, were life satisfaction, economic situation, fruits, hearing disorder, and social participation.ConclusionThe results suggested that the development of depressive symptoms in cataract patients was influenced by various factors. Medical staff should monitor these influencing factors more closely when treating and caring for patients with cataracts.

Predicting healthy lifestyle behavior among married people: integrating theory of planned behavior, health belief model, body image dissatisfaction and habit

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the determinants of healthy lifestyle behavior in married people. It also sought to propose an integrative model that incorporates variables from two theoretical models, namely, the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the health belief model (HBM), as well as two additional variables, namely habit and body image dissatisfaction.Design/methodology/approachQuestionnaires were used to gather data, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied for statistical analysis. Data were collected from 404 respondents using several assessment tools, including the Health Belief Model Scale, the Theory of Planned Behavior Scale, the Healthy Lifestyle Belief Scale, the Body Area Scale, and the Creature of Habit Scale.FindingsThe findings showed that perceived severity is the predictor of a healthy lifestyle attitude, followed by subjective norm, perceived behavior control, and healthy lifestyle attitude as the primary attendants of intention. Meanwhile, it was found that a healthy lifestyle attitude is a significant mediator in the perceived severity and healthy lifestyle intention relationship. The suggested model outperforms the original TPB and HBM models in predictive ability, proving its utility and efficacy in describing healthy lifestyle behavior.Originality/valueAdding constructs in the TPB and HBM models contributed considerably to improving the understanding of healthy lifestyle behavior among married people. Governments and policymakers might utilize the findings to design and execute a new program or a sustained healthy lifestyle for married people.

A Review on Trustworthiness of Digital Assistants for Personal Healthcare

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely used within the healthcare domain. One of the branches of digital health concerns the design and development of digital assistant solutions. AI-enabled digital assistants highlighted the need to be trustworthy given their intrusiveness within people’s lives. Such solutions aim to provide intelligent tools to ease the management of care pathways or to enhance the capabilities of healthcare organizations in deploying health prevention campaigns by monitoring the lifestyles of healthy people. In this work, we intend to analyze the recent literature concerning integrating AI techniques within digital assistants. We focused on the contribution published during the last ten years and we performed a careful analysis of whether and how trustworthy pillars have been addressed. We also discuss the risks of designing digital assistants without considering trustworthy pillars and present some recommendations to mitigate them.

Measuring the visual environment of children and young people at risk of myopia: a scoping review.

Myopia (short-sightedness) is an emerging WHO priority eye disease. Rise in prevalence and severity are driven by changes in lifestyle and environment of children and young people (CYP), including less time spent in bright daylight and more time spent on near-vision activities. We aimed to systematically map the literature describing direct, objective measurements of the visual environment of CYP. We conducted searches in Ovid Medline 1946, Ovid Embase and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials in November 2024. We included primary research written in English on environmental/behavioural factors and myopia onset/progression in CYP 3-18years. Two reviewers independently screened titles/abstracts/full texts. We included 34 articles: 21 explored the association of indoor and/or outdoor light exposure and myopia and included light measurements, two near-vision activities, four both light and near-work, four time outdoors without illuminance measurements, and three light exposure based on meteorological data. Most measurements were carried out at the level of individual children, rather than the surrounding environment alone. Despite limitations in measurement techniques, there is evidence that reduced illuminance, less time spent in bright light and increased daily duration/sustained episodes of near-vision activities and reduced working distance are associated with increased myopia prevalence/progression.

Waist circumference measurements also revealed that 44% of respondents had a waist circumference between 81-90 cm, indicating health risks associated with obesity.

The Influence of Green Marketing Mix and Environmental Awareness on Oat Milk Purchase Decision in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province

Environmental issues have led to changes in people's lifestyles, making them more environmentally conscious, especially when purchasing products, including selecting the foods they consume. One commonly consumed food product is milk. Cow's milk production in Indonesia has not yet met domestic demand, necessitating alternative milk options such as plant-based milk like oat milk. The latest marketing concept, green marketing, modifies the 4P marketing mix into a green marketing mix, which influences purchasing decisions. Environmental awareness and consumer attitudes can also impact purchasing decisions. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of the green marketing mix and environmental awareness on purchasing decisions, both directly and mediated by consumers' attitudes. This research is a descriptive quantitative study. The analysis technique used is SEM-PLS, with 215 respondents. The sample was determined using purposive sampling and the sample size was determined using the rule of thumb from SEM. The results of this study indicate that the green marketing mix, environmental awareness, and consumers' attitudes directly influence purchasing decisions. Consumers' attitudes only mediate the effects of green price, green promotion, and environmental awareness on purchasing decisions.

Comparative Views on the Global Energy Problem in the Oil and Gas Pattern

The article puts forward views on the global energy problem. It focuses on population growth, industry, energy, consumption, exhaustible and inexhaustible resources. Energy has become an indispensable element of social and economic life due to its early use in lighting and heating, and since the early twentieth century in industry and other fields. It is considered that the causes of the global energy problem are related to the rapid growth of the world's population, the growth and development of industrial production. The implementation of these is considered to lead to the efficient use of energy resources, both globally and domestically. There is a need to make certain changes in people's lifestyles, conserve natural resources and increase the use of alternative energy sources. Against the background of a 7-fold increase in the world's population, the growing demand for energy resources of people and society as a whole is a topical issue. The main purpose of the study is to increase attention to the problem of energy in the world, to make certain changes in people's lifestyles and to make sound proposals on alternative energy resources. From a global point of view, the trends in the modern development of energy and the suggestion of more efficient ways of using energy are the scientific novelty of the research.

Keywords as Markers Indicating Lifestyle of People in Altai Ditties of the 1930s–1950s

The work examines key words in Altai ditties as markers covering different aspects of people’s lives over several decades. Having studied existing approaches to understanding, isolating and establishing the functions of keywords, as well as correlating them with markers, we defi ned keywords as a sign, a marker indicating a stage, time, segment of the life of individual people or an entire generation. This is the relevance of the work. Because of keywords, which turn out to be so solely in connection with the designated topic of research, and not with the leading themes of ditties serving as research material, readers have the opportunity to imagine what people did, how they spent their free time, what kind of work they did, what kind of clothes and shoes were worn. The purpose of the study is to identify key words in the texts of Altai ditties dating back to the period of the 1930s–1950s as markers, thanks to which it becomes possible to determine the interests and lifestyle of people at a certain time in a certain area. The methodological basis of the study is a combination of a number of methods: semantic, extralinguistic, contextual analysis and classifi cation method which do not exist in isolation but in interaction with others. Thanks to a comprehensive methodology for studying key words as markers in the texts of Altai ditties, it becomes possible to establish what young people did, what interested them and what they cared about in the 1930s–1950s. This study shows only some aspects of the life of people in a certain area.The research material seems interesting from the perspective of philology, cultural studies, history, and expands the understanding of the life of people mainly in rural areas in the Altai Territory in the fi rst half of the twentieth century. The prospect of the work is seen in expanding the research material, which would allow us to “fi ll” existing thematic groups and identify new ones, to go “beyond the boundaries” of the period analyzed
