Socioeconomic status moderate the relationship between mental health literacy, social participation, and active aging among Chinese older adults: evidence from a moderated network analysis.
Abstract
The aging population represents a formidable global challenge, with China experiencing an accelerated demographic shift. While previous research has established a directional link between mental health literacy, social participation, and active aging, the moderating effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on these associations remains underexplored. This study sought to address this gap by employing moderated network analysis, in contrast to the total score approaches commonly used in prior literature.

Research summary
The paper addresses the relationship between mental health literacy, social participation, and active aging, which are important aspects of the aging process. However, it focuses on the moderating effect of socioeconomic status rather than directly addressing the root causes of aging or lifespan extension. While it contributes to understanding factors that influence active aging, its impact on the broader field of longevity research is limited.
