This study aims construct network model of anxiety symptoms among older adults alone, exploring the correlations centrality different symptoms. The goal is identify core bridging inform clinical interventions. Using data from 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), this constructed elderly alone. Depression were assessed using Center for Epidemiologic Studies Scale-10 (CESD-10) Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7), respectively. A Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) was employed build symptom network, Fruchterman-Reingold algorithm used visualization, thickness color edges representing partial between To minimize spurious correlations, Least Absolute Shrinkage Selection Operator (LASSO) method applied regularization, optimal regularization parameters selected Extended Bayesian Information Criterion (EBIC). We further calculated Expected Influence (EI) Bridge (Bridge EI) evaluate importance Non-parametric bootstrap methods assess stability accuracy network. Network analysis revealed that GAD2 (Uncontrollable worry) GAD4 (Trouble relaxing) exhibited highest strength (1.128 1.102, respectively), indicating their significant direct associations other roles nodes in Other highly central nodes, GAD1 (Nervousness or anxiety) GAD3 (Generalized worry), underscore dominance overall Betweenness results highlighted critical bridge facilitating information flow symptoms, while CESD3 (Feeling depressed) demonstrated role across modules.

Using data from six waves (2017-2023) UK Household Study (UKHLS), which includes 34,535 participants (154,316 person-years), this employs fixed-effects regression models. Financial is significantly associated with increased time (b = .155, p < .001). Loneliness partially mediates accounting for approximately 15 % effect. Notably, health moderated by gender .120, .001), women experiencing more severe negative effects. These findings suggest that alleviating could reduce its detrimental effects on health. Addressing social stressors essential public strategies. Implementing gender-sensitive approaches critical addressing specific vulnerabilities, particularly among women.
