The mediating role of health awareness in the relationship between health information behavior and health outcomes among the older adults.

Background: With global population aging, older adults face challenges in obtaining, understanding, and applying health information, which are critical for effective health management.

Methods: A structured questionnaire measured three health information behaviors (acquisition, understanding, application), health awareness, and self-reported health outcomes in a representative sample of community-dwelling older adults.

Prefrontal Blood Flow Activity During Drawing Intervention in School-Age Children with Autism: An fNIRS Hyperscanning Study.

Art-based interventions have been shown to enhance communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet their impact on prefrontal hemodynamics remains unclear. This study employed functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to examine hemoglobin oxygenation (HbO) changes in the prefrontal cortex of school-age children with ASD, providing empirical support for its therapeutic efficacy. Sixty age-matched children participated in a 9-week art therapy program, including twenty ASD children and forty typically developing peers.
