Cardiovascular Mortality, Habitual Exercise, and Particulate Matter 2.5 Exposure: A Longitudinal Cohort Study.

Introduction: Habitual exercise may amplify the respiratory uptake of air pollutants in the lung, exacerbating the adverse effects of air pollution. However, it is unclear whether this can reduce the health benefits of habitual exercise (referred to as leisure-time exercise). Thus, the combined effects of habitual exercise and chronic exposure to ambient fine particulate matter 2.

Effects of air pollution and habitual exercise on the risk of death: a longitudinal cohort study.

Background: Exercise may exacerbate the adverse health effects of air pollution by increasing the inhalation of air pollutants. We investigated the combined effects of long-term exposure to fine particle matter (PM) and habitual exercise on deaths from natural causes in Taiwan.

Methods: We recruited 384 130 adults (aged ≥ 18 yr) with 842 394 medical examination records between 2001 and 2016, and followed all participants until May 31, 2019.

Habitual exercise is associated with reduced risk of diabetes regardless of air pollution: a longitudinal cohort study.

Aims/hypothesis: Physical activity may increase a person's inhalation of air pollutants and exacerbate the adverse health effects. This study aimed to investigate the combined associations of chronic exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM) and habitual physical activity with the incidence of type 2 diabetes in Taiwan.

Lauric Acid Is an Inhibitor of Growth and Reduces Inflammation in a Mouse Infection Model.

is a Gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic human gastrointestinal pathogen. infection (CDI) is a major health concern worldwide, with symptoms ranging from diarrhea to pseudomembranous colitis, toxic megacolon, sepsis, and death. CDI onset and progression are mostly caused by intestinal dysbiosis and exposure to spores.
