Population ageing is rapidly becoming a global issue and will have major impact on health policies programmes. The World Health Organization's Study AGEing adult (SAGE) aims to address the gap in reliable data scientific knowledge low- middle-income countries. SAGE longitudinal study with nationally representative samples of persons aged 50+ years China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia South Africa, smaller sample adults 18–49 each country for comparisons. Instruments are compatible other large...
Chronic diseases contribute a large share of disease burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). have tendency to occur simultaneously where there are two or more such conditions, this is termed as 'multimorbidity'. Multimorbidity associated with adverse health outcomes, but limited research has been undertaken LMICs. Therefore, study examines the prevalence correlates multimorbidity well associations between self-rated health, activities daily living (ADLs), quality life, depression...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes death worldwide. Our study aimed to investigate prevalence two conditions, angina and stroke, relevant risk factors among older adults in six low- middle- income countries(LMICs).The data was from World Health Organization (WHO) Study on global AGEing adult (SAGE) Wave 1 China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russian Federation South Africa. Presence CVD based self-report stroke. Multivariate logistic regression performed examine relationship...
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...
In this paper, we examine patterns of self-reported diagnosis noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and prevalences algorithm/measured test-based, undiagnosed, untreated NCDs in China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia, South Africa. Nationally representative samples older adults aged ≥50 years were analyzed from wave 1 the World Health Organization's Study on Global Ageing Adult (2007–2010; n = 34,149). Analyses focused 6 conditions: angina, arthritis, asthma, chronic lung disease, depression,...
Behavioral risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet, insufficient physical activity and the harmful use of alcohol are known modifiable contributors to a number NCDs health mediators. The purpose this paper is describe distribution main for by socioeconomic status (SES) among adults aged 50 years older within country compare these across six lower- upper-middle income countries.The study population in draw from SAGE Wave 1 consisted 50-plus China (N=13,157), Ghana (N=4,305), India...
Background The likely corresponding increase in prevalence of chronic disease will be a major challenge for the health care system. Few nationwide epidemiological studies include large enough sample older adults to provide estimates conditions adult population. This study aimed estimate eight common and examine socioeconomic inequalities diseases among China. Method Data are from SAGE-China Wave 1, including 13,157 people aged 50-plus years. Respondents were asked if they had been diagnosed...
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...
Plastics play important roles in modern life and currently the development of plastic recycling is highly demanding challenging. To relieve this dilemma, one option to develop new sustainable bioplastics that are compatible with environment over whole material cycle. We report a bioplastic made from natural DNA biomass-derived ionomers, termed as plastics. The sustainability involves all aspects production, use, end-of-life options plastics: (1) raw materials derived biorenewable resources;...
Epidemiological evidence on the association of PM2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) and its specific components hypertension blood pressure is limited. We applied information participants from World Health Organization's (WHO) Study Global Ageing Adult (SAGE) to estimate associations long-term mass chemical exposure (BP) incidence in Chinese adults ≥ 50 years during 2007–2018. Generalized linear mixed model Cox proportional hazard were investigate effects BP,...
Little is known about the joint mental health effects of air pollution and tobacco smoking in low- middle-income countries.
Abstract Background Anemia and frailty contribute to poor health outcomes in older adults; however, most current research lower income countries has concentrated on anemia or alone rather than combination. The aim of the present study was investigate association between community-dwelling adults aged 50 years China. Methods population sourced from 2007/10 SAGE China Wave 1. defined as hemoglobin less 13 g/dL for men 12 women. A Frailty Index (FI) compiled assess frailty. evaluated using a...
Abstract Background It is important to clarify the transitions and related factors of frailty for prevention frailty. We evaluated among community-dwelling older adults examined predictors transitions. Methods A cohort study was conducted 3988 community residents aged ≥60 years during 2015 2017. multiple deficits approach used construct Frailty Index (FI) according methodology FI construction, sociodemographic characteristics lifestyles were also collected in 2015. After 2-year follow-up,...
Both insufficient and excess iodine may produce thyroid disease. After salt iodization in China, the median urine concentration (UIC) of children aged 8-10 years appeared adequate. However, it is unknown whether dietary changes due to rapid economic development Shanghai have affected whole population nutrition.To assess intake, UIC prevalence disease general Shanghai.A cross-sectional survey was conducted with participants 5-69 (n = 7,904) plus pregnant lactating women 380 each) selected by...
Local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation has been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It reported that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) could inhibit RAS-mediated epithelial injury and fibrogenesis ACE2 deficiency aggravate acute chronic lung injury. Through research, it be deduced protect against as a therapeutic target.Time-course analysis pathological characteristics bleomycin-induced was undertaken mouse model, effect...
Background: Health effects of air pollution on anaemia have been scarcely studied worldwide. We aimed to explore the associations long-term exposure ambient pollutants with prevalence and haemoglobin levels in Chinese older adults. Methods: used two-level linear regression models modified Poisson robust error variance examine particulate matter (PM) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations anaemia, respectively, among 10,611 adults enrolled World Organization (WHO) Study global AGEing adult...
The associations of long-term exposure to air pollutants in the presence asthmatic symptoms remain inconclusive and joint effects as a mixture are unclear.We aimed investigate individual ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) daily 8-hour maximum ozone concentrations (MDA8 O3) Chinese adults.Data were derived from World Health Organization Study on Global Ageing Adult (WHO SAGE) cohort study among adults aged 50 years or older, which was implemented 1 municipality 7 provinces across China...
