Life expectancy and longevity are influenced by air pollutants and socioeconomic status, but the extend and significance are still unclear. Better understanding how the spatial differences of life expectancy and longevity are affected by air pollutants is needed for generating public health and environmental strategies since the whole of China is now threatened by deteriorated air quality. 85 major city regions were chosen as research areas. Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) and Stepwise Regression (SR) were used to find the spatial correlations between health indicators and air pollutants, adjusted by per capita GDP(1). The results were, regions with higher life expectancy were mainly located in the east area and areas with good air quality, a regional difference of 10 mu g/m(3) in ambient air SO22 could cause adjusted 0.28 year's difference in life expectancy, a regional difference of 10 mu g/m(3) in ambient air PM103 could lead to a longevity ratio difference of 2.23, and per capita GDP was positively associating with life expectancy but not longevity ratio, with a regional difference of 10,000 RMB4 associating with adjusted 0.49 year's difference in life expectancy. This research also showed the evidences that there exist spatially differences for ambient air PM10 and SO2 influencing life expectancy and longevity in China, and this influences were clearer in south China.

Does Neighborhood Social Capital Longitudinally Affect the Nutritional Status of School-Aged Children? Evidence from China

Lijuan Gu, Linsheng Yang, Hairong Li

Summary: This study examined the longitudinal effects of neighborhood participation, bonding trust, and bridging trust on child nutritional status in urban and rural areas of China. The findings showed an improvement in average BMI-for-age z-score, a decrease in underweight prevalence, an increase in overweight/obesity prevalence, and a reduction in the urban/rural gap in nutritional status. Bonding trust was associated with lower BMI, higher likelihood of underweight, and lower likelihood of overweight/obesity, while bridging trust was associated with higher BMI. The effects of bonding trust were significant only among rural children, suggesting that neighborhood social capital has a causal impact on child nutritional status.
