Objective: To study the associations of pedestrian injuries with age, income and educational level in Shanghai and to analyze the relative disease burden.
Methods: Information on pedestrian-related cases and deaths were collected from 494 hospitals and mortality registry systems from 1992 to 2010, and a multistage cluster sampling survey conducted in 2006. Logistic regression model was used in the analyses.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between age, educational level, and fall-related injuries in Shanghai, analyzing related costs from 2001 to 2010.
- Out of 45,857 participants, 674 reported fall-related injuries, with mortality rates increasing significantly, particularly among children under 14 and older adults.
- Findings indicated a correlation between lower educational levels and higher incidence of injuries, pointing to children under five and older adults as critical groups for targeted interventions.
Interaction between ambient particles and ozone and its effect on daily mortality.

Objective: To examine the effect of particulate matter (PM) less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) and ozone (O3) on daily mortality in Shanghai, China.
Methods: A generalized additive model with penalized spline function was used to observe the acute effect of PM10 and O3 on daily mortality.
Results: Higher PM10 significantly increased the effect of O3 on total mortality, and O3 also increased the effect of PM10 although the estimated increment was statistically insignificant.
Objective: To investigate the relation between air pollution exposure and preterm birth in Shanghai, China.
Methods: We examined the effect of ambient air pollution on preterm birth using time-series approach in Shanghai in 2004. This method can eliminate potential confounding by individual risk factors that do not change over a short period of time.
Pattern of traffic injuries in Shanghai: implications for control.

In China, traffic-related injuries are often treated as transportation issues, called 'accidents'. The objectives of the research are to analyse traffic injury patterns, estimate costs of traffic injuries and provide evidence to develop effective prevention strategies. There were over 1 500 deaths due to traffic-related injuries annually in Shanghai from 1987 to 2003, and it is rising year by year with the rate of growth in motorization.

Methods: In this study, epidemiological method and Grey dynamic model GM (1,1) were introduced to analyze and forecast traffic-injury mortality rates respectively.
Results: There was an apparent increasing trend of traffic-related injuries in Shanghai from 1987 to 2003 with the rate of growth in motorization.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze how ambient air pollution impacts human health and the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost in Shanghai.
- - Using epidemiology-based methods, researchers found that in 2000, air pollution in Shanghai resulted in a loss of 103,064 DALYs, primarily due to premature deaths and chronic bronchitis.
- - The findings highlight that high levels of air pollution negatively affect public health, reinforcing the need for stricter pollution control measures in Shanghai.

Objective: Data on traffic accident from year 2000 to 2002 were collected and testified. Epidemiological study was carried out to find the main risk factors of traffic accident.
Methods: The spatial distribution was conducted by means of Geographic Information System (GIS) and were marked on Shanghai digitalized map with different layers by different colors.
