Objective: To evaluate the associations between biological aging, metabolic heterogeneity of obesity, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: This prospective cohort study analyzed 268,184 individuals from the UK Biobank. Biological age was estimated using phenotypic age (PhenoAge), Klemera-Doubal methods (KDM-BA), and telomere length.
Introduction: Air pollution is speculated to increase the risk of Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Nevertheless, the results remain inconsistent and inconclusive. This study aimed to explore the association between ambient air pollution (AAP) and COVID-19 risks using a meta-analysis with meta-regression modelling.

Methods: Data on hormonal and reproductive factors in women were collected from a prospective cohort of 223 526 UK Biobank participants. The potential relationship between reproductive factors and RA risk was assessed using restricted cubic spline.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between heavy metal exposure and two specific systemic inflammation indexes (SII and SIRI), utilizing data from over 4,000 U.S. adults.
- Various statistical methods were employed to analyze the effects of 19 different metals, revealing significant correlations between metal exposure and increased levels of SII and SIRI.
- The research highlights that serum albumin mediates some of these associations, particularly noting that exposure to metals like cobalt, cadmium, and arsenic raised inflammatory index levels, with variations observed among different demographic groups.
Climate change and daily outpatient visits for dermatomyositis in Hefei, China: a time-series study.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
September 2023
With the deepening of research on the correlation between meteorological factors and autoimmune diseases, the relationship between climate change and dermatomyositis (DM) has come to our attention. This study aimed to explore the short-term correlation between meteorological factors and DM outpatient visits. Daily records of hospital outpatient visits for DM, air pollutants, and meteorological factor data in Hefei from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2021 were obtained.

Methods: Data about the daily number of CHD admissions (from 2014 to 2021) were retrieved from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University.
Objective: Increase in antimicrobial resistance is a threat to health sector globally. Surveillance on the spread and emergence of antimicrobial resistance is therefore invertible. This study investigated prevalence of Salmonella and Escherichia coli, molecularly characterized their antimicrobial resistance patterns and spread among resistant isolates from chicken droppings.
