Research topic: Prediction of population ageing trends and potential risks in China's cities
My primary research areas include social geography, medical sociology, population health and social policy, and quantitative research methods. My doctoral research focuses on the complex factors influencing subjective well-being and depression among the aging population. Using a multi-level research framework based on social ecology, I developed a model that spans individual, community, and provincial levels to explore geographic disparities and the various influences on well-being and depression in this group. My research examines how micro-level (individual), meso-level (family relationships and community factors), and macro-level (provincial economic and social inequalities) factors interact to explain geographical differences in subjective well-being and depression among older adults.
