<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, rise in age-standardised adult prevalence diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed estimate worldwide trends diabetes, how likely it countries achieve target, and changes prevalence, together with population growth ageing, are affecting number adults diabetes. <h3>Methods</h3> pooled data from population-based studies that had collected on through measurement biomarkers. used a...
Abstract Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries parallel with a rise the proportion of population who live cities 1,2 . This led to widely reported view that urbanization is one important drivers global obesity 3–6 Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, measurements height and weight more than 112 million adults, report national, regional trends mean BMI segregated by place residence (a rural or urban area) from 1985 2017. We show that, contrary dominant...

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are prospective biodegradable metallic implant materials. This research focuses on addressing the high corrosion rate of WE54 Mg alloys, limiting their biomedical applications as implants. The study proposes a novel approach by developing hybrid coatings these materials, combining organic PLA (poly-lactic acid) inorganic HA (hydroxyapatite) substances. exhibit significantly improved protection biocompatibility, reducing degradation in vitro rates body fluid...
