Survey Data on Family Capital and Physical Exercise in Chinese Adults, 2023

Survey data from 2,394 Chinese adults aged 18–60, collected via the 2023 China General Social Survey. The dataset was used to analyze associations between family capital and physical exercise frequency, with a focus on the mediating role of intergenerational education transmission. The data was uploaded by Fan Yang in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between economic capital and exercise frequency based on survey variables.
• Analyzing the mediating effect of offspring's education on health behaviors based on the described pathway.
• Conducting subgroup analysis for urban/rural or gender differences based on the heterogeneity findings.
• Training ordered probit models for categorical outcome prediction based on the described methodology.

Strengths

• Sample size of 2,394 adults provides a substantive basis for statistical analysis.
• Data is sourced from the established China General Social Survey, suggesting a structured collection method.
• Analysis includes multiple capital types (economic, cultural, social) and subgroup tests, indicating multidimensional variables.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary file is a 320.2 KB PDF, which is a very small size and may contain only summary results rather than raw data.
