Gender in old care: comparing sons' and daughters' role in parental functional and psychological well-being
China’s rapidly aging population and evolving socio-economic landscape, particularly shifting gender roles, are reshaping traditional caregiving dynamics. However, limited research has examined the associations between caregiver gender and the functional and psychological health of older parents, particularly in the context of gender matching between caregivers and care recipients. This study addresses this gap by utilizing four waves of CLHLS data, employing a Logit model for estimation, and...
Neuroanatomical-based machine learning prediction of Alzheimer's Disease across sex and age
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss. In 2024 it affected approximately 1 in 9 people aged 65 and older in the U.S., 6.9 million individuals. Early detection and accurate AD diagnosis are crucial for improving patient outcomes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a valuable tool for examining brain structure and identifying potential AD biomarkers. This study performs predictive analyses by employing...
