Data were collected through a researcher-developed SES form, the Children's Food Insecurity Experiences Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Child and Youth Resilience Measure. Generalized Linear Models were used for mediation analysis. Lower SES and higher levels of food insecurity were associated with poorer perceived health. The association with perceived health was generally more negative at higher levels of food insecurity severity. Higher psychological resilience was associated with better perceived health, while lower self-esteem was linked to poorer health perceptions. Significant negative indirect associations through both variables were found between SES/food insecurity and perceived health. Findings highlight the role of psychosocial resources in helping to explain differences in perceived health associated with structural disadvantage during adolescence.","PeriodicalId":45428,"journal":{"name":"Biodemography and Social Biology","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148881676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While fertility decline preceded the new millennium, little is known about whether the onset of the 2006 economic crisis influenced its pace. Using birth counts from the Puerto Rico Vital Statistics System and population estimates, we calculate fertility measures for 1990-2020. Regression models estimated by ordinary least squares, with Newey-West standard errors, were fit to estimate the overall annual percent change (APC), and to compare the periods before and after the onset of the economic crisis (1990-2005 and 2006-2020). The pace of decline changed for eight of the nine indicators: accelerating for seven, while the ASFR for women aged 40-44 years declined at a slower pace. Stratified models show that all fertility measures and the share of women aged 15-44 declined significantly in both periods, with a faster decline observed in the post-crisis period for six of the nine. A significant acceleration in fertility decline was observed in the age-specific fertility rates for women under 35 years. In Puerto Rico, findings suggest that fertility decline accelerated after the onset of the economic crisis.","PeriodicalId":45428,"journal":{"name":"Biodemography and Social Biology","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148762251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data for social indicators were derived from a large national survey (n = 100 750), and data on fertility and covariates were derived from population registries. We applied spatial autoregressive error models to account for spatial autocorrelation between neighboring municipalities. Regions with higher social support and more frequent social contacts had higher total fertility rates, whereas trust, community participation, cultural activities or loneliness were not associated with fertility. These associations were particularly pronounced for fertility rates among individuals aged 20-39 than in other age groups. Moreover, no association was found for regional socio-economic composite score.

Sarcopenia was defined using AWGS2019 and the Revised European Consensus criteria. During mean follow-ups of 3.7 years (CHARLS) and 3.9 years (ELSA), 1,431 and 331 incident sarcopenia cases were identified, respectively. Social isolation and loneliness were significantly associated with increased risk of sarcopenia in each cohort, and participants exposed to both had the highest risk. Population attributable fractions ranged from 5.6% to 14.4%. Mediation analysis revealed that the physical activity accounted for 6-9% of these associations. Mendelian randomization analyses further supported potential causal links, showing that predicted loneliness and isolation were associated with reduced grip strength and lower appendicular lean mass. These findings suggest that social isolation and loneliness are modifiable psychosocial risk factors for sarcopenia, partly mediated by physical inactivity. Public health efforts to prevent sarcopenia in older adults should include strategies to strengthen social connections and emotional well-being.","PeriodicalId":45428,"journal":{"name":"Biodemography and Social Biology","volume":" ","pages":"112-124"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148043856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces a novel identification strategy exploiting contraceptive failures as an exogenous source of variation in parenthood status. Using nationally representative survey data, I compare individuals who experienced contraceptive failures resulting in births against those using contraception who did not conceive. The findings reveal a striking gender paradox: while motherhood substantially reduces women's unconditional employment probability by approximately 20 per cent and higher education attainment by 5 per cent, fatherhood increases men's employment likelihood by 7 per cent and educational achievement by 11 per cent. These effects are most pronounced during children's first decade, with maternal employment penalties disappearing after age 10, though educational gaps persist. If the identifying assumptions are satisfied, this suggests that first unintended parenthood may not fully explain persistent long-term gender disparities, though cumulative fertility and anticipatory effects remain important candidates. This research introduces contraceptive failure as a credible new identification strategy, documenting bidirectional gender effects that amplify inequality. The results challenge conventional policy approaches by revealing that gender gaps arise not only from maternal penalties but also from paternal premiums.","PeriodicalId":45428,"journal":{"name":"Biodemography and Social Biology","volume":" ","pages":"77-95"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148151601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these variables are the traditional elements used to describe the reasons behind decreasing birth rates, they do not fully capture an increasingly visible motivational domain: morally grounded evaluations of whether procreation is permissible under perceived social deterioration, climate change, or moral judgments over life, existence as harm, and suffering. Antinatalism refers here to the normative views that procreation is morally impermissible, either always or under a significant set of conditions. This could be understood as a measurable range of evaluative judgments both from conditional reasons and on stronger moral unconditional reasons. The article identifies a gap between traditional explanatory frameworks, and the moral content already present in stated reasons for deciding against procreation. The goal is not to elevate antinatalism as the dominant driver of fertility decline but to incorporate it into a more complete account of the current demographic phenomenon that deserves empirical investigation. Then, the incomplete picture that demographic research has calls upon the need to take the antinatalist variable seriously.","PeriodicalId":45428,"journal":{"name":"Biodemography and Social Biology","volume":" ","pages":"96-111"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148043870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This favorable change was mainly driven by compositional effects, particularly shifts in household income, size, and education. While higher income and larger households are positively associated with FVC, the education of the household head shows a negative association, warranting further investigation. To improve dietary quality and reduce the risk of chronic disease, the findings underscore that policy efforts should focus on income enhancement, targeted nutrition education - especially for larger households - and correcting misperceptions about the health benefits of fruits and vegetables.
