Summary: This study investigated trajectories of depressive symptomatology in American adults over 25 years and found that depressive symptoms follow a "U-shaped" pattern across the life course. Additionally, a substantial sub-population with persistently high depressive symptoms over adulthood was identified, with women, race/ethnic minorities, and individuals of lower socioeconomic position being more likely to belong to this group.

Summary: Recent research has shown a gender disparity in the representation of women as authors in medical research and clinical practice guidelines. This study evaluated the gender differences in authors of major hepatology guidelines. The study analyzed hepatology guidelines published by major gastroenterology societies between 2008 and 2022 and found that women comprised only 20.3% of the total authors. However, there was a significant increase in the proportion of women senior authors and total women authors over time.

Summary: This study examined the association between stressful life events (SLEs) and subthreshold depressive symptoms (SDS) and major depressive disorder (MDD), with a focus on gender effects. The findings showed that individuals who experienced any SLEs were at a higher risk of SDS and MDD. The association between SLEs and SDS was stronger in females, while the association between SLEs and MDD was stronger in males.

Summary: Identifying reliable biomarkers for depression has been challenging due to the heterogeneity of symptoms and high rates of comorbidity. This study used principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis to identify six distinct clusters of depression symptoms in a sample of young adults. The study also found that the cluster characterized by neurovegetative depression had significantly elevated levels of inflammation. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the biological underpinnings of symptom dimensions and subtypes in complex mental health disorders like depression.

Summary: This study analyzed mortality rates among transgender populations in the United States and compared them to non-trans populations. The findings showed that transgender individuals were nearly twice as likely to die compared to their non-trans counterparts. Within the transgender population, those on the trans feminine to nonbinary spectrum had the highest risk of mortality. These findings highlight the significant disparities in mortality conditions between transgender and non-transgender populations, calling for further research.

Summary: This article examines the impact of women's autonomy in marriage choices on the intergenerational transmission of domestic violence in mainland China. The findings suggest that Chinese women's experience of domestic violence in current marriages is associated with their exposure to interparental violence during childhood. Women with autonomy in deciding about their marriages are less likely to show intergenerational transmission of domestic violence. The study highlights the importance of designing policies to protect and enhance women's autonomy in marriage decisions to prevent domestic violence.

Summary: According to urban economic theories, workers in more developed regions should have higher educational returns. However, studies on urban workers in China have shown mixed results on whether earning returns to education are higher in regions experiencing more economic growth. Meanwhile, there is a lack of evidence on this issue among migrant populations, which have rapidly increased in number during China's economic transition.

Summary: Previous studies have focused on how multigenerational coresidence affects parental time in primary childcare. This study examines the impact of coresidence on parents' time investment in developmental childcare, which is crucial for children's education and life chances. The findings reveal that mothers who live with their maternal grandparents spend more time on developmental childcare when they have high levels of education. Moreover, the positive effect of matrilocal residence on maternal time investment is most significant in families with high levels of parental and grandparental education.

Summary: This study develops a novel framework to theorize the relationship between managerial communication and frontline workers' willingness to abide by rules, highlighting the direct and indirect ways in which communication can influence rule abidance. Additionally, it finds that as organizational size increases, the impact of managerial communication on frontline workers decreases. The study empirically tests these hypotheses using data from local security agencies in mainland China.
