Understanding the temporal trend of disease burden stroke and its attributable risk factors in China, especially at provincial levels, is important for effective prevention strategies improvement. The aim this analysis from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) to investigate national levels China 1990 2019.Following methodology GBD 2019, incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) cases Chinese population were estimated by sex, age, year,...

Although the deleterious effects of air pollution from fossil fuel combustion have been demonstrated in many Western nations, fewer studies conducted Asia. The Public Health and Air Pollution Asia (PAPA) project assessed short-term exposure to on daily mortality Bangkok, Thailand, three cities China: Hong Kong, Shanghai, Wuhan.

BackgroundHealth effects of air pollution on diabetes have been scarcely studied in developing countries. We aimed to explore the associations long-term exposure ambient particulate matter (PM) and gaseous pollutants with prevalence glucose-homoeostasis markers China.MethodsBetween April 1 Dec 31, 2009, we recruited a total 15 477 participants aged 18–74 years using random number generator four-staged, stratified cluster sampling strategy from large cross-sectional study (the 33 Communities...

Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) has been associated with cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension, a major risk factor for diseases, also hypothesized be linked PM2.5 However, epidemiological evidence mixed. We examined long-term association between and hypertension blood pressure. interviewed 12 665 participants aged 50 years older measured their pressures. Annual average concentrations were estimated each community using satellite data. applied 2-level...

Several studies have investigated the short-term effects of ambient air pollutants in development high blood pressure and hypertension. However, little information exists regarding health long-term exposure. To investigate association between residential exposure to pollution hypertension, we studied 24 845 Chinese adults 11 districts 3 northeastern cities from 2009 2010. Three-year average concentration particles with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm (PM(10)), sulfur dioxide (SO(2)), nitrogen...

BackgroundWe investigated whether the effect of air pollution on daily mortality is enhanced by high temperatures in Wuhan, China, using data from 2001 to 2004. Wuhan has been called an "oven" city because its hot summers. Approximately 4.5 million permanent residents live 201-km2 core area city.MethodWe used a generalized additive model analyze pollution, mortality, and covariate data. The estimates interaction between temperature were obtained main effects pollutant–temperature...

Maternal exposure to ambient air pollution has increasingly been linked congenital heart defects (CHDs). The objective of this study was evaluate whether high levels maternal PM2.5 and PM10 are related increased risk CHDs in Wuhan, China. We conducted a cohort with total 105,988 live-born infants, stillbirths, fetal deaths. included mothers living the urban district Wuhan during pregnancy over 2-year period from 10 June 2011 9 2013. For each participant, we assigned 1-month 1-week averages...

Background and Purpose— Short-term exposure to ambient fine particulate pollution (PM 2.5 ) has been linked increased stroke. Few studies, however, have examined the effects of long-term exposure. Methods— A total 45 625 participants were interviewed included in this study, came from Study on Global Ageing Adult Health, a prospective cohort 6 low- middle-income countries. Ambient PM levels estimated for participants’ communities using satellite data. multilevel logistic regression model was...

Background Ambient fine particulate matter pollution (PM2.5) is one leading cause of disease burden, but no study has quantified the association between daily PM2.5 exposure and life expectancy. We aimed to assess potential benefits in expectancy by attaining standards 72 cities China during 2013–2016. Methods findings applied a two-stage approach for analysis. At first stage, we used generalized additive model (GAM) with Gaussian link examine city-specific short-term years lost (YLL); at...
