Poor environmental sanitation practices in markets are a serious public health concern, as solid waste poses municipal level and global health risks. Solid wastes also add to the growing issue of global climate change. This study sought to determine the sociodemographic correlates of solid waste disposal knowledge, attitude, and practices among market traders in Calabar Municipality, Nigeria. This was a cross-sectional study of 480 traders across six markets in Calabar Municipality. Data were collected using semi-structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Overall, 54% of respondents had good knowledge, 45% had an acceptable attitude, and a significantly low number of respondents (16%) practiced good solid waste disposal. Sociodemographic characteristics that were statistically significant in the bivariate analyses were modeled for the outcomes. The multivariable analyses found that age, primary education, being married, being separated/divorced, being Muslim, and being a traditionalist were statistically significantly associated with knowledge, attitude, and practices of solid waste disposal among market traders. Solid waste disposal practices were poor. Market sensitizations on environmental sanitation need to be carried out. There is also a need to enforce laws stating disciplinary measures for offenders who dump wastes indiscriminately.

The study aims to investigate the dynamics of fertility by parity of Chinese women over the past seven decades under the context of changing fertility policy. Using data from population censuses, population sample surveys, and fertility surveys in China, the study estimates China’s fertility by parity from 1949 to 2020 by adopting multiple fertility measures, including parity-specific total fertility rate, parity progression ratio, parity-progression-ratio-based total fertility rate, and cumulated cohort fertility rate, as well as the decomposition method. The study further evaluates the unique features of China’s configuration of parity-specific fertility through an international comparative analysis of some Western countries based on data from the Human Fertility Database. It shows that in China, both the rigid fertility policy of restricting the number and timing/spacing of children implemented since the early 1980s and the recent relaxation of fertility policy of gradually easing the number and timing/spacing of children have had a significant impact on fertility patterns and levels, especially for parity two. However, the effect of fertility policy relaxation in a low-fertility context has been less sustainable than the earlier rigid fertility policy that contributed to the rapid decline in fertility for second and higher orders of parity. Under the joint influence of the Confucian fertility culture, rapid socioeconomic growth, and the internalization of long-standing strict fertility policies, China has formed a unique pattern of parity-specific fertility profile compared to those of some developed societies, with a universal progression to the first birth, a very low but policy sensitive progression to the second birth, and an extremely low progression to the third birth.

In 2019, there were 21.3 million refugees around the globe. A small number of these are accepted to the United States each year under the Unaccompanied Refugee Minor Foster Care Program. There is currently limited research on the outcomes of young adults served through this unique program. In this paper, we share outcomes (educational attainment, economic well-being, and social ties) for young adults who leave care from the countries of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Myanmar, and Somalia. The authors report descriptive statistics for young adults who discharged from the foster care program (n = 388) as well as Pearson’s Chi-square tests to test correlations between outcomes and country of origin. Results show that youth from Myanmar is most likely to be enrolled in college at time of discharge. Youth from the DRC is equally likely to be enrolled in college or to have only completed a GED or high school diploma. Youth from Myanmar is more likely to be employed than youth from other countries. Eritrean youth was more likely to be lacking economic self-sufficiency at time of discharge than youth from other countries. Results from this study suggest ways that service providers can tailor service plans to help youth from different countries achieve the best outcomes, and pose questions for future research.

Today, Japan stands as the world’s leading super-aged society. In the coming decade, preceding the rest of the aging globe, the country will phase into the next demographic stage called a “death-laden” society. Due in part to the aging and prospective mortality of the country’s two major baby boom generations along with a projected decline in the number of the working age population, Japan will be laden with ballooning deaths from old age from 2030 onward for several decades to come. Only in recent years have researchers started paying attention to this demographic prospect, and to date, little study has been done to systematically examine how the coming of a death-laden society may affect the health, well-being, and comfort of those in advanced age in the country. This paper aims to contribute to the newly emerging body of literature on this subject by exploring, based mainly on findings from expert interviews, five key areas of policy challenges with which Japan’s death-laden society will likely contend. These areas include: (1) shortages in basic medical resources for the dying; (2) mounting public burden of disease; (3) potential prevalence of ‘lonely deaths’ among those in advanced age; (4) urgency to facilitate national discussions on end-of-life options; and (5) crematorium shortages and their cultural impact. The future research is called for to help mitigate the impact of a death-laden society not only for Japan but also for other countries that may follow Japan’s demographic path in the conceivable future.

Cesarean section (CS) is generally performed either to ensure maternal and child safety when vaginal delivery is not possible. The WHO has indicated that CS rates of more than 10% are considered overutilization. Increased CS rates can cause an increase in postpartum antibiotic treatment and longer hospital stay. In this research, we conducted a matched case–control study, including all women who gave birth through CS and resided in the study area over a 3-year period before the survey as cases and similar age- and year-matched women who had normal vaginal delivery during the same period as controls. The data were collected using a semi-structured pro forma through personal interviews and verified with discharge cards. We obtained a sample of 140 women (70 matched cases and controls) as study participants. Our results show that unadjusted analysis revealed socioeconomic status, history of gestational diabetes mellitus, previous lower segment CS (LSCS), and malpresentation emerged as risk factors, whereas in the adjusted analysis, we observed that previous LSCS (aOR 45.4 [4.3 – 483.6]), malpresentation (aOR 11.0 [1.6 – 73.8]), and belonging to middle (aOR 3.3 [1.0 – 10.8]) and upper class (aOR 23.55 [CI: 1.2 – 463.8]) remained as independent risk factors. Our study identified independent risk factors for CS that needs to be tackled for bringing down the CS rates.

Urbanization is widely viewed as a major contextual force behind the rising prevalence of overweight and obese people in developing countries. Research in China often conflates between-community difference and within-community change - two separate processes of urbanization that are related to body weight gain. Capitalizing on longitudinal and multilevel data from the 1991 to 2015 China Health and Nutrition Survey, the present study disaggregated the association between change in a community-level urbanicity index and change in individual-level body weight status over time in Chinese adults aged 18–65 years. A positive longitudinal relationship was confirmed between urbanicity and body weight in men, but varied in women by the choice of anthropometric measure. However, for both men and women, such an overall association was largely driven by preexisting between-community differences in the level of urbanization rather than an intrinsic within-community urbanization process. This pattern is robust against two different disaggregation methods. These findings together confirm the inadequate simplicity of the conventional model of community effects on health and nutrition.

Nigeria’s population is currently estimated at 216million and the country will be the third most populous in the world in 2050. A major driver of the high population growth is persistent high fertility. This study examined women’s fertility preferences, which was measured with ideal family size (IFS) and the associated factors. Data were obtained from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. The analysis consisted of a weighted sample of 13, 673 women in union, aged 15–49 years whose first marriage took place within 10 years before the survey. Descriptive and multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted. The proportion of respondents whose IFS was 5+ was 65%. Slightly above one-quarter had IFS of four children, and 11% had IFS of 0 – 3. IFS of 5+ was significantly associated with women resident in the Northern and Southeast regions, rural residents, Muslims, women who had no education, women working in agriculture, sales/service jobs, those who participated in one or two out of four household decisions, justified wife beating, have 5+ siblings, experienced child death, and married before age 20. Efforts to achieve the target reduction in total fertility rate in Nigeria should be multi-sectoral targeting these subpopulations of women.

Food insecurity is a growing problem in Brazil, especially among older adults; however, the related sociodemographic factors remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between social support dimensions and food insecurity among community-dwelling older adult Brazilians in São Paulo. This cross-sectional study was conducted in three cities in Sao Paulo state, Brazil. The analysis included 598 community-dwelling individuals aged ≥60-years-old, and multiple logistic regression models were used to estimate the associations between the dimensions of social support and food insecurity after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics. We found that 42.3% of participants were food insecure. In the bivariate analysis, the higher scores in the affective, material, positive social interaction, and informational social support dimensions were statistically associated with the lower odds of food insecurity. In the multiple regression analysis, older adults who had a higher score of positive social interaction were less likely to have food insecurity, whereas the African American ethnicity and those older adults with a total family income ≤2 times of the minimum wage were more likely to have food insecurity. The results indicate that the positive social interaction emerges as an important factor associated with food insecurity among older adults, beyond that of other well-known social factors associated with food insecurity, highlighting the importance of screening for food insecurity and social support in primary care to avoid potential adverse health outcomes among older adults.

Although intergenerational relationships play a significant role in maintaining the well-being of both caregivers and care recipients, few studies have examined how intergenerational relationships influence caregiving burden, especially for adult-child caregivers. A systematic search of electronic databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO, was conducted across quantitative studies published in English in 2012 – 2022 to provide a summary of (1) the operationalization of caregiver burden and intergenerational relationships used in this field and (2) the effect of intergenerational relationships on caregiver burden. Intergenerational relationships are rarely defined, and they are operationalized in multiple and diverging ways. The eight included papers showed varying results but generally indicated that intergenerational relationships exert a great influence on caregiver burden. Further examination of the impact of intergenerational relationships on caregiver burden is an indispensable prerequisite for interventions that could positively influence the health outcome of adult-child caregivers.

Using data from the Macrotrends database, this paper investigated the change and differences in population growth (POPG) as a result of the impact of its key determinants employing a breakpoint model. A regression analysis confirms the presence of persistent differences in the POPG in Türkiye over the period 1965 – 2021. Using the Bai-Perron sequential breakpoint method, four statistically significant breaks at 1976, 1984, 2004, and 2013 and consequently to that five regimes were ascertained. The results clearly show a worthy of attention difference in the mean of the crude death rate, total fertility rate, as well as net migration rate within all of these five regimes. Furthermore, the results reveal clear evidence that the POPG is characterized with statistically different trends compared to the period prior and after the years of breaks and different regimes. This indicates that circumstances affecting the mortality, migrations, and fertility in terms of the number of live births and deaths as well as migration trends in the country before and after these indicated years in Türkiye have been largely influenced by the different dynamics of the socioeconomic conditions and different contexts in Turkish society.

A regression analysis confirms the presence of persistent differences in the POPG in Türkiye over the period 1965 – 2021. Using the Bai-Perron sequential breakpoint method, four statistically significant breaks at 1976, 1984, 2004, and 2013 and consequently to that five regimes were ascertained. The results clearly show a worthy of attention difference in the mean of the crude death rate, total fertility rate, as well as net migration rate within all of these five regimes. Furthermore, the results reveal clear evidence that the POPG is characterized with statistically different trends compared to the period prior and after the years of breaks and different regimes.
