It is known that 24-hour movement behaviors, including physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep, are crucial components affecting older adults' health. Canadian guidelines for adults were launched in 2020, emphasizing the combined role of these 3 behaviors promoting However, research on prevalence correlates guideline adherence its associations with health-related outcomes limited, especially among Chinese adults.
Background: Birth weight percentiles by gestational age are important for assessing prenatal growth and predicting postnatal outcomes of newborns. Several countries have developed nation-specific birth references twins, but China still lacks such references.Methods results: data twins born between October 2006 September 2015 were abstracted from the National Population-based Defects Surveillance System. A total 54,786 live twin births aged ≥28 weeks gestation without defects included in...
Abstract Background Older adults are at a higher risk from COVID-19. Individual preventive behaviors including frequent hand washing, mask wearing, and social distancing play important roles in reducing the transmission of COVID-19 community. This study aimed to identify determinants three older during pandemic by using an Integrated Social Cognition Model. Methods Using prospective design, 516 Chinese Hubei province China (mean age = 67.55 years, SD 6.60, 57.9% females) completed two online...

The overall annual change rate (ACR) was calculated, stratification analysis performed. Mediation assessed influence association DIP nationwide 15.8% 6.8%, respectively. ACR 0.71% (95% CI, 0.66%–0.76%); pre‐2016, −0.44% −0.63% −0.25%); post‐2016, −0.29% −0.39%...
Most maternal deaths in developing countries can be prevented. China is among the 13 with most deaths; however, there has been a marked decrease mortality ratio (MMR) over last 3 decades. China's reduction MMR contributed significantly to global decline of MMR. This study examined geographic and rural-urban differences, time trends related factors preventable during 1996-2005, aim providing reliable evidence for effective interventions.Data were retrieved from population-based surveillance...
Abstract Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most prevalent birth defects. Housing renovations are a newly recognized source indoor environmental pollution that detrimental to health. A growing body research suggests maternal occupational exposure renovation materials may be associated with an increased risk giving fetuses CHD. However, effect housing on CHD occurrence has not been reported. Methods multi-hospital case–control study was designed investigate association...
Abstract Objective This study aims to analyze recent trends in Down syndrome (DS) prevalence China and evaluate the impact of prenatal diagnosis subsequent terminations. Design A birth defects surveillance‐based retrospective was adopted. Methods On basis 1996 2011 surveillance data for DS from Chinese Birth Defects Monitoring Network, we examined total ratio (TPR), perinatal (PPR) percentages prenatally identified cases terminations by periods (before after 2003), area, gender maternal‐age...
We investigated the mortality rate of pneumonia (PMR) among children under 5 and its time trend from 1996 to 2013 determine priorities for ending preventable deaths in 5, share China's successful experience reducing PMR with other developing countries.We used data Under Child Mortality Surveillance System (U5CMSS) calculate proportion total 5. The were grouped by urban rural areas Cochran-Mantel-Haensel (CMH) test Chi-square examine differences proportion. was tested Cochran-Armitage...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Little is known about the main epidemiologic characteristics of hypospadias prevalence in China. We investigated time trends and geographic variations China from 1996 to 2008. METHODS: Data were retrieved hospital‐based birth defects monitoring system used ratios (PRs) describe difference between urban rural areas, as well among different regions. Poisson regression was explore long trend for its regional disparity. RESULTS: The prevalences isolated anomalies, multiple...
Like several Rho GDP/GTP exchange factors (GEFs), Kalirin7 (Kal7) contains an N-terminal Sec14 domain and multiple spectrin repeats. A natural splice variant of Kalrn lacking the four repeats is unable to increase spine formation; our goal was understand function repeat domains. Kal7 its still increased formation, but spines were short. Strikingly, truncation mutants containing only formation. The bound phosphoinositides, a minor crucial component cellular membranes, binding by...
Moderate dietary restriction can ameliorate age-related chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) by increasing the expression of neurotrophic factors and promoting neurogenesis in brain. Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) signaling is essential for coordination progenitor cell proliferation differentiation during brain development. The mechanisms which GSK-3β involved restriction-induced cognitive improvement remain unclear. Six-month-old male 3xTg-AD wild-type mice were fed on...
