A literature search was conducted using Scopus, Medline (via PubMed and Ovid), databases, and Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria for the review were the studies that reported on periodontal disease in the 1- to 85-year age group, excluding data from Australia, New Zealand, and protectorates of the United States and France. The findings from the studies were synthesized, noting the demographics, periodontal disease assessment methods, and main outcomes. The initial search yielded 475 relevant articles. After further screening for eligibility, a total of nine articles were included in this systematic review. In the studies included, the population ranged from 185 to 7966 participants with the age range of 1 to 64 years. The studies were heterogeneous, with each study utilizing different criteria to assess periodontal disease. Notably, the latest study eligible for inclusion was published in 2012. The prevalence of periodontitis ranged from 20% to 100%, with greater prevalence in the age group of 40 years or over. The findings from this review highlighted the need for regular prevalence studies to inform public health policy makers and develop strategies to manage periodontal disease proactively.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"10105395251374769"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Southeast Asian migrant children possibly encounter this issue in Aotearoa New Zealand, as limited literature explores their needs, and there is a notable lack of studies considering children's perspectives. This study describes the health communication needs of New Zealand Southeast Asian migrant children (aged 7-12 years) from the children's perspective. Individual interviews with 13 Southeast Asian migrant children were conducted. Reflexive thematic analysis was undertaken to generate shared meanings as themes. Participants shared their understanding of health concepts and a range of health communication experiences, which generated three themes: readiness for participation, the challenges of health conversations, and a child-friendly atmosphere. Overall, unmet health communication needs of Southeast Asian migrant children are suggested in this study, which signals a need for changes in practice to promote children's health communication participation.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"10105395251374767"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145076121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite decades of deliberation and scholarly debates, there remains no clear consensus on what constitutes abuse. This scoping review examines how older adults conceptualize elder abuse and neglect. A systematic search across seven databases and three journals identified 44 articles. Thematic analysis revealed key themes, including associations between abuse and harmful consequences, such as physical injuries, emotional distress, and psychological trauma. Debates on severity, frequency, intent, and context highlight ambiguities in older adults' awareness of elder abuse and neglect. Behaviors perceived as abusive or neglectful were categorized into five main types: physical, psychological, financial, sexual, and neglect. Additional themes emerged, such as social and discriminatory abuse. Cultural contexts significantly influence the perceptions of older people, with diverse interpretations shaped by intentionality and care practices across communities. Although most studies were conducted in high-income countries, participants were predominantly from Asian communities, where filial piety and collectivistic values are emphasized. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies to explore evolving conceptualizations of abuse, refine measurement tools to capture nuanced understandings, and identify emerging forms of abuse.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"521-529"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144979762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates decade-long (2012-2022) depression trends among Chinese rural adolescents, focusing on pandemic-related changes and variations by gender and age. Data for this analysis were drawn from the longitudinal surveys of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) (N = 9,695; age 10-15). Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied to determine change patterns in rural adolescents' depression over time. Multiple regression models were computed to assess gender and age differences in pre-pandemic and pandemic-era depression changes. The findings reveal that (a) No statistically significant changes in depression were observed before the COVID-19 pandemic from 2012 to 2018; (b) a statistically significant increase in depression occurred from 2018 to 2020; (c) subsequently, a significant decline was noted from 2020 to 2022; and (d) no statistically significant differences were found between two gender and different age groups regarding their change in depression before and during the COVID-19. The study reveals pandemic-specific fluctuations in rural adolescent depression that affected all subgroups uniformly, highlighting the universal impact of COVID-19 disruptions in rural contexts.","PeriodicalId":55570,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health","volume":" ","pages":"590-593"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144979807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
