Article Synopsis
- * Results show that 34% of workers had long hours, with 37.7% reporting WMSDs, particularly in the neck, low back, and shoulders, and significant risks associated with working more than 40 hours a week.
- * The findings suggest that longer working hours increase the risk of multi-site WMSDs, highlighting the need for preventive measures and better management of working hours.

Introduction: Long working hours are likely associated with the decreased of kidney function, while physical activity (PA) was linked to improvements in kidney function. However, whether PA can offset the negative impact of long working hours on kidney function was unclear, which is the focus of this study.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted.
Background: Solar greenhouse workers, a unique farmer group, have been reported to have a higher risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to the general population, possible due to exposure to multiple metals.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the associations between exposure to multiple metals and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Northwest China.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on improving the nutritional status of preschool children in economically underdeveloped, multi-ethnic regions, specifically through a 2.2-year intervention in Linxia County, China, where customized nutritious breakfasts and nutrition education were provided.
- After the intervention, the group of children receiving the nutritious meals showed significantly lower rates of undernourishment and wasting, along with a higher average BMI-for-age Z-score compared to the control group.
- Results indicated that this intervention was particularly beneficial for children with non-Muslim dietary habits, highlighting the importance of targeted nutrition strategies for preschool children in disadvantaged communities.
Zinc deficiency affects the physical and intellectual development of school-age children, while studies on the effects on intestinal microbes and metabolites in school-age children have not been reported. School-age children were enrolled to conduct anthropometric measurements and serum zinc and serum inflammatory factors detection, and children were divided into a zinc deficiency group (ZD) and control group (CK) based on the results of serum zinc. Stool samples were collected to conduct metagenome, metabolome, and diversity analysis, and species composition analysis, functional annotation, and correlation analysis were conducted to further explore the function and composition of the gut flora and metabolites of children with zinc deficiency.

Methods: A total of 578 healthy preschool children aged 3-6 from 17 kindergartens were selected to assess dietary intake, anthropometric status (height-for-age z-score (HAZ), weight-for-age z-score (WAZ), weight-for-height z-score (WHZ), and blood biomarkers. DDS and nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) were adopted to assess dietary diversity and micronutrient adequacy, respectively.
