Summary: This study aimed to examine how parents affect children's risky health behaviors and whether intergenerational transmission differs based on socioeconomic status (SES). The results showed that parents' behaviors and SES can influence the initiation of risky health behaviors in their offspring. Policymakers can introduce health education programs for parents, particularly for those living in rural areas and with a low SES, to promote healthy behaviors.

Summary: This study found that early exposure to poor interparental relationships has a long-term effect on offspring's late-life depressive symptoms. Individuals who experienced poor interparental relationships during childhood are more likely to develop depressive symptoms in late adulthood, with potential mechanisms including experiencing physical abuse by parents during childhood and having poor relationships with spouses and children in adulthood.

Summary: The study aimed to estimate the relative importance of genetic transmission and direct environmental exposure in the associations between maternal depressive symptoms and offspring early-life psychopathology symptoms. The results showed that the associations between maternal symptoms of depression and offspring emotional problems were predominantly explained by passive genetic transmission at early ages, while at a later age, direct environmental exposure played a more significant role.

Summary: Research has shown that low childhood socioeconomic status is linked to a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms. Childhood trauma, as a potential consequence of low SES, plays a significant mediating role in this association, accounting for 89.3% of the total effect. This emphasizes the need for early prevention and intervention strategies for child neglect/abuse to address depressive symptoms in young adults.

Summary: This paper examines gender differences in intergenerational education attainment in China. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) survey in 2016, the study finds that intergenerational 'persistence' is higher for females than males in the entire sample and across different age cohorts. The results suggest that the relatively low upward mobility among females from families with low education levels contributes to this gender difference. These findings provide valuable insights into the unequal transmission of education across generations and its implications for gender inequality in Chinese society.

Summary: The study found that providing care to grandchildren in skipped-generation households in China is associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms for grandparents, while other types of caregiving (multigenerational households, part-time, full-time noncoresident grandparenting) are not significantly linked to depressive symptoms. The findings suggest that sociocultural contexts should be considered when examining the mental health implications of grandparenting.

Summary: Traditionally, the study of mortality differences between groups has focused on average levels of mortality, such as life expectancy and standardized mortality rates. However, using statistical distance metrics to examine differences in lifespan distributions between groups can provide additional insights. In this study, the non-overlap index is used to capture sociological stratification in lifespan. The findings based on Finnish registration data from 1996 to 2017 show that lifespan stratification and life-expectancy differences between income groups increased significantly from 1996 to 2008. The life-expectancy differences declined thereafter, while stratification stagnated for men and increased for women. The non-overlap index uncovers an unique domain of inequalities in mortality and helps capture important between-group differences that conventional approaches miss.

Summary: A recent study suggests a possible association between labor epidural analgesia and increased rates of offspring autism spectrum disorder. However, this cross-national study found no evidence to support the hypothesis that labor epidural analgesia causes either offspring autism spectrum disorder or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, as the associations were fully attenuated when comparing full siblings who were differentially exposed to labor epidural analgesia.

Summary: This study found that long-term anxiety and diabetes, as well as new-onset depression, anxiety, and diabetes, are associated with the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. However, the effects of new-onset conditions were driven by cases that began treatment within 3 months before the cancer diagnosis. Patients with long-term depression, anxiety, and diabetes and those with new-onset anxiety were more likely to not receive standard treatments.

Summary: The effects of cohabitation and marriage on the risk of criminal behavior were examined using Finnish longitudinal register data. The analysis showed that individuals who were cohabiting or married had a significantly lower risk of being suspected of a crime compared to single individuals. The risk reduction was observed in both between-individual and within-individual analyses. Having a criminal partner significantly increased the risk of suspected crime, while forming a cohabiting relationship with a non-criminal partner was associated with reduced criminality.

Summary: This study used a polygenic score for height to reveal the associations between height, socioeconomic position, and coronary heart disease incidence. The results showed clear gradients for residual height in relation to education, social class, and income, with a stronger association for residual height. These findings support the role of material and social living conditions in childhood as contributing factors to the association of height with both socioeconomic position and CHD risk.

Summary: This national cohort study in Finland examined the alcohol-attributable morbidity and mortality of cohorts born between 1944 and 1954 before and after a reform in the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA). The study found that cohorts who were allowed to buy alcohol at a higher age had lower alcohol-attributable morbidity and mortality compared to those who were allowed to buy alcohol at a younger age. These findings suggest that a higher MLDA could be protective for health beyond young adulthood.
