Short-term association of particulate matter and cardiovascular disease mortality in Shanghai, China between 2003 and 2020.

Objective: Evidence regarding the effects of particulate matter (PM) pollutants on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality remains limited in Shanghai, China. Our objective was to thoroughly evaluate associations between PM pollutants and CVD mortality.

Methods: Daily data on CVD mortality, PM (PM and PM) pollutants, and meteorological variables in Shanghai, China were gathered from 2003 to 2020.

Secular trends of low birth weight, preterm birth, and small for gestational age in Shanghai from 2004 to 2020: an age-period-cohort analysis.

Background: Although highly heterogeneous among countries, the incidence rates of low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth (PTB), and small for gestational age (SGA) have been increasing globally over the past two decades. To better understand the cause of these secular trends, this study aimed to investigate the effects of age, period, and birth cohort on LBW, PTB, and SGA rates in Shanghai.

Methods: Data from 2,958,695 singleton live births at 24-41 gestational weeks between 2004 and 2020 were obtained for this study.

Association between excessive fetal growth and maternal cancer in Shanghai, China: a large, population-based cohort study.

The prevalence of high birth weight or large for gestational age (LGA) infants is increasing, with increasing evidence of pregnancy-related factors that may have long-term impacts on the health of the mother and baby. We aimed to determine the association between excessive fetal growth, specifically LGA and macrosomia, and subsequent maternal cancer by performing a prospective population-based cohort study. The data set was based on the Shanghai Birth Registry and Shanghai Cancer Registry, with medical records from the Shanghai Health Information Network as a supplement.

Differences and Correlation Analysis of Birth Weight and Overweight/Obesity in Shanghai Twin Cohort.

The objective of this study was to analyze differences in birth weight and overweight/obesity in a Shanghai twin cohort. We also wanted to study their association and explore possible risk factors for the discordance of overweight/obesity within twins. This was an internal case-control study designed for twins.

Association of birth defects with the mode of assisted reproductive technology in a Chinese data-linkage cohort.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of assisted reproductive technology (ART) on the offspring of Chinese population.

Design: Retrospective, data-linkage cohort.

Setting: Not applicable.

Estimation of disease burdens on preterm births and low birth weights attributable to maternal fine particulate matter exposure in Shanghai, China.

Background: Studies have shown that maternal exposure to particulate matter ≤2.5μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM) was associated with adverse birth outcomes such as preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW). However, the burdens of PTB and LBW attributable to PM were rarely evaluated, especially in developing countries.
