Background And Objective: A systematic review and meta-analysis were used to investigate the relationship between air pollution exposure and the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its related cirrhosis. Through this study, we hope to clarify the potential public health risks of air pollution as an environmental exposure factor.
Methods: Through a comprehensive and systematic search of the EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases, studies published up to March 30, 2024, that met the eligibility criteria were identified.
Article Synopsis
- Recent research highlights the protective relationship between physical activity (PA) and the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD), with distinctions observed between genders but also positive effects common to both.
- The study analyzed 21 observational studies and found that regular PA significantly lowers PD risk, showing a 9% decrease in risk for every 10 MET-hours per week increase in activity.
- While PA benefits were noted across populations, the effects were less significant in individuals with higher body mass indices and Asian populations, indicating a need for further exploration into these areas.
