While studying women's issues, Hu found that "in those Asian societies which emphasize 'three generations living under the same roof,' and expect the family to be welfare-provider to the aged, elderly women are at higher risk of committing suicide than their counterparts in Western countries."
胡幼慧研究婦女問題時發現，「凡是強調三代同堂、以家庭取代老人福利的亞洲社會，老年婦女自殺的『相對風險』都比歐美高。」
