Previous studies have identified global associations between sleep quality and suicidal ideation. However, little is known regarding the relationship between sleep quality and suicidal ideation among Chinese older adults. We examined the relationship between sleep quality and suicidal ideation in older adults in China. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 3313 seniors in Shandong, China. Suicidal ideation was assessed using the interviewees' answers to the question Have you ever seriously considered wanting to die?. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Logistic regression was performed to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals adjusted for confounders. When controlling for sex, age, living condition, economic status, marital status, education, past occupation, relationship with children, non-communicable diseases, and mental health, the odds of suicidal ideation increased in association with an increase in the total score for sleep quality and its components (subjective sleep quality, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, and daytime dysfunction). Poor sleep quality was associated with increased odds of suicidal ideation in Chinese older adults. Sleep-based interventions should be developed to prevent suicide in older adults in China.

Urban-Rural Disparities in Informal Care Intensity of Adult Daughters and Daughters-in-Law for Elderly Parents from 1993-2015: Evidence from a National Study in China

Yi Wang, Jiajia Li, Nan Zhang, Lulu Ding, Yuejing Feng, Xue Tang, Long Sun, Chengchao Zhou

Summary: The Chinese population is aging, leading to an increased burden on society to provide care for the elderly. Informal care by family members is the primary form of care in China due to an underdeveloped formal long-term care system. Rural and urban caregivers face different situations due to the strict household registration system. This study found that those with urban hukou were more likely to provide informal care, and education attainment was the largest contributor to the difference in care time between urban and rural populations. It highlights the need for an improved long-term care system in China, focusing on vulnerable groups such as rural hukou holders and those with lower education levels.
