Summary: This study finds a positive association between adult children's education and older parents' health. Previous research has identified social support, social influence, and material transfers as factors linking adult children's education and various dimensions of older parents' health. The present study shows that adult children's problems play a mediating role in explaining disparities in psychological well-being between mothers whose adult children have completed higher and lower levels of education.

Summary: Caring for children with developmental delays or disabilities in low-resource settings can result in significant stress on caregivers. The World Health Organization developed a caregiver skills training program that includes a well-being module based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. By adapting this program to a rural South African town, we found that it was feasible, acceptable, and had the potential to improve caregiver well-being and mental health.

Summary: The study examines the mediating effects of cognitive and structural social capital on the relationship between neighborhood environments and mental well-being among older adults. The findings suggest that a perceived age-friendly environment and an abundance of community centers are associated with better mental well-being, while passive leisure facilities have a negative impact. Cognitive social capital has a stronger mediating effect compared to structural social capital.

Summary: Using satellite nighttime lights and world settlement data, researchers found that 19% of global settlement areas had no artificial radiance associated with them. Africa had the majority of unlit settlement areas, accounting for 39%, rising to 65% in rural areas, as well as numerous unlit areas in the Middle East and Asia. Developed countries also had significant unlit settlement areas. The percent of unlit settlement areas was used to predict and map the wealth class of households in 49 countries with an overall accuracy of 87%.

The direct relationship between physical literacy and health has not been thoroughly investigated. Machine learning analysis revealed that physical literacy can predict children's well-being with an accuracy of 87%, but the contribution of physical literacy features to well-being varies across different subgroups.

Summary: This article explores how babymoon tourism can contribute to well-being through a combination of autoethnography and netnography. The findings show that mothers-to-be experience well-being through co-creation and meaning. Participation in activities and engagement with local culture can enhance happiness and quality of life. However, the current representation of babymoon tourism focuses on physical facilities, neglecting the importance of culture and co-creation in well-being. Viewing co-creation through a cultural interaction lens suggests untapped potential for tourism businesses to promote babymoons.

Summary: This study evaluated the prevalence and socio-demographic risk factors of disabilities caused by perinatal asphyxia among Chinese children in 2006. The results showed that gender and family income have a significant impact on the prevalence rate of disabilities caused by perinatal asphyxia, especially in infants and young children. Efforts should be made across multiple sectors to prevent disabilities caused by perinatal asphyxia, particularly in younger children and their families.
