As the popularity of smartphones grows, so does the number of people who are addicted to them. Although many studies have indicated that the various problems associated with smartphone addiction can negatively affect life satisfaction, this result is not absolute. This study surveyed 114 Chinese alumni of a Japanese university and analyzed the mediating effects of sleep quality and self-health on the relationship between smartphone addiction and life satisfaction.  Results indicated that smartphone addiction did not affect life satisfaction, neither directly nor indirectly through sleep quality and self-health. This finding was different from those of previous studies. In addition, the results indicated that smartphone addiction directly affects sleep quality, and that smartphone addiction can affect self-health either directly or indirectly through sleep quality. Based on this finding, we believe that intervention in the excessive use of smartphones is an effective means to improve the physical fitness of people.

Abstract The importance of life satisfaction has been getting significant attention as the older population has increased rapidly. There are many studies to examine the relationship between older adults’ past and current lifestyles and life satisfaction levels that resulted to be either positively or negatively associated with. It is also well documented in the literature that aging is negatively associated with life satisfaction level due to the decrease in health capabilities. However, little study has been researched the direct and indirect relationships among advancing age, lifestyles, health capabilities, and life satisfaction levels. The purpose of the study was to examine the mediating effects of lifestyles and health capabilities on the relationship between aging and older adults’ life satisfaction levels. A total of 290 older adults completed the self-administered questionnaire of lifestyles and life satisfaction levels and their health capability assessments were evaluated at three clinical research centers in the U.S. Multiple regression test was utilized to analyze the data. The results showed the direct effects of advancing age [B =1.196, t=2.608, p=.010] and engagement in exercise or physical activity [B=-2.684, t=-3.071, p=.002] on life satisfaction levels among older adults. However, there were no mediating effects of lifestyles and health assessments on the relationship between age difference and life satisfaction levels among older adults. The results suggest the advancing age itself would be the strongest factor in older adults’ life satisfaction. Additionally, the findings also suggest that exercise and physical activity can enhance older adults’ life satisfaction levels as a supplemental factor.

Studies have examined the impact of social determinants of health on the health behaviors and health statuses of ethnic minority adolescents. This study examines the subjective health of this population by examining the direct effects of multicultural adolescents’ subjective socioeconomic status (SES) and the sequential mediating effects of their dietary behaviors and perceived stress. We utilized secondary data of 500 middle school students from multicultural families who participated in the 15th Korean Youth Health Behavior Survey, 2019. Information about SES, perceived stress, subjective health status, and dietary behavior (measured by the breakfast intake frequency during the prior week) were utilized. For the relationship between the SES and the subjective health status, we confirmed the sequential mediating effects of breakfast frequency and perceived stress using SPSS 25.0 and PROCESS macro with bootstrapping. The results showed that SES had a direct effect on subjective health status and indirectly influenced subjective health status through the sequential mediating effect of breakfast frequency and perceived stress. However, SES had no direct effects on perceived stress. These findings emphasize that broadening the community-health lens to consider the upstream factor of SES when preparing health promotion interventions is essential to achieving health equity for vulnerable populations.
