Area Of Science
- Gerontology
- Environmental Science
- Public Health
Background
- Investigates factors influencing clean energy adoption among older adults in China.
- Highlights the potential health benefits of increased clean energy use in this demographic.
Purpose Of The Study
- To identify internal and external factors affecting clean energy use in older adults.
- To inform strategies for promoting clean energy adoption and improving health outcomes.
Main Methods
- Utilized data from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey.
- Employed single- and multi-factor analyses, applying attribution theory to model behavioral drivers.
- Examined internal (individual characteristics) and external (situational) motivations for energy adoption.
Main Results
- Urban residence, higher education, professional occupation, better self-reported health, higher income, and living with family were associated with increased clean energy use.
- Living in apartments and higher medical expenses also correlated positively with clean energy adoption.
- Interestingly, regular physical examinations were linked to a lower probability of clean energy use.
Conclusions
- Clean energy use among Chinese older adults exhibits regional disparities and is influenced by diverse internal and external factors.
- Recommended strategies should prioritize rural areas with lower socioeconomic status and poorer health and living conditions.
- Targeted interventions can enhance clean energy utilization and contribute to improved health for the elderly population.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-lasting respiratory condition requiring continuous attention and care. It is a progressive lung disease that leads to breathing challenges due to airflow obstruction. It manifests as persistent respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow resulting from abnormalities in the airways and alveoli, usually due to long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases. COPD mainly consists of two primary conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness.
