Previous studies have shown both health and environmental benefits of green spaces, especially in moderating temperature and reducing air pollution. However, the characteristics of green structures have been overlooked in previous investigations. In addition, the mediation effects of green structures on respiratory mortality have not been assessed. This study explores the potential mediation pa...

Mediation models figure out how an effect occurred by hypothesizing a causal sequence. For a simple mediation model, a causal sequence is described in which an independent variable causes the mediator which sequentially causes the dependent variable. In this article, we tried to introduce to use standardized regression coefficient to the involving the simple mediation model since a standardized...

Objectives: The associations between emotional skills encompassed in emotion regulation model and psychopathology were examined by investigating its ability to modify the emotion-mediated association between other emotion regulation skills and psychopathology.  Methods: A total of 465 students were selected using proposal sampling method. Data were collected using Emotion Regulation Skill...

OBJECTIVE We hypothesize that the effect of aging on memory is mediated by executive function. METHODS Two hundred and thirty healthy adults (101 male, 129 female) were recruited for the study. We used a promising, newly developed, computerized neuropsychological test for the measurement of executive function and memory. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and path analy...

BACKGROUND We determined the proportion of the effects of body mass index (BMI) or its categories on cardiometabolic outcomes mediated through systolic blood pressure (SBP), total cholesterol and fasting glucose. METHODS Cox regression analyses were performed for incident outcomes among Turkish Adult Risk Factor study participants in whom the three mediators had been determined (n = 2158, age...
