活动简介：
Talent has become a key strategy for attracting and recruiting some of the world’s leading experts. This research talk introduces the International Talent Project, an in-depth study exploring the role of health biomarkers in understanding stress, well-being, and overall health among international talent in China and Chinese returnees. Biomarkers such as hair cortisol, blood pressure, and BMI were used to assess physiological stress responses alongside self-reported measures of stress. In this longitudinal study, we collected hair samples, recorded blood pressure, and administered stress-related questionnaires. In this talk, I will present the results on the relationship between biomarkers of stress and coping mechanisms over time, emphasizing the utility of health biomarkers. Additionally, I will introduce a framework that highlights the role of physical activity and green space exposure, as participants’daily steps were tracked using fitness bracelets. The results underscore the importance of integrating physical activity and nature exposure into daily routines to improve mental and physical health. Taken together, these studies highlight the value of health biomarkers and environmental factors in assessing well-being in intercultural contexts. Biomarkers like hair cortisol provide objective insights into stress responses, complementing self-reported measures, while lifestyle factors such as physical activity and green space exposure significantly enhance well-being. These findings emphasize the need for interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate physiological and environmental measures to better understand and improve health outcomes in diverse populations.
