As society rapidly ages, older adults are becoming an important national issue. Health is a multidimensional concept and both objective and subjective health must be managed. This study investigated factors that influence the subjective and objective health of older adults. This study analyzed the data of 9391 people aged ≥65 years using raw data from a 2020 survey of senior citizens. The relationships among the characteristics of older adults, such as demographic variables, lifestyle, external activities, environment, physical function, depression, cognition, activities of daily living, satisfaction with life and health, perceived health level, and number of diseases, were investigated. Older adults who drink and do not exercise generally have good objective health but poor subjective health. Older adults who mainly engage in external activities tend to have poor subjective health despite good objective health. The factors affecting subjective health in older adults were depression, cognition, physical factors, activities of daily living, and satisfaction. This study identified the differences between subjective and objective health based on the characteristics of older adults. As many variables affecting the health of older adults have been identified, these basic data will help prepare various programs to promote a healthy life for older adults.

This study investigates gender-related variations in symptom severity and clinical presentation among preschool children referred for suspected ASD.
Methods: This study included 125 children (boys: n=103; girls: n=22) aged 2-5 years suspected of having ASD.

Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) remains a public health conundrum with high morbidity and mortality rates. While early identification of high-risk patients could enable preventive interventions and improve survival, evidence on the effectiveness of current prediction methods remains inconclusive. Limited research exists on patients' prearrest pathophysiological status and predictive and prognostic factors of IHCA, highlighting the need for a comprehensive synthesis of predictive methodologies.
