Article Synopsis
- Short-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) and its components, such as sulfate and nitrate, has been linked to increased hospital admissions for threatened and spontaneous abortions (TSAB) in a study conducted in five Chinese cities from 2015 to 2021.
- The analysis showed that for every 10 μg/m³ increase in PM, there were significant relative risks of hospitalization for TSAB, particularly in mothers aged 35 and older and before the implementation of a local environmental Action Plan.
- The findings suggest a concerning relationship between air quality and reproductive health, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and improved environmental policies to protect vulnerable populations.
Associations between body composition profile and hypertension in different fatty liver phenotypes.

December 2023
Background: It is currently unclear whether and how the association between body composition and hypertension varies based on the presence and severity of fatty liver disease (FLD).
Methods: FLD was diagnosed using ultrasonography among 6,358 participants. The association between body composition and hypertension was analyzed separately in the whole population, as well as in subgroups of non-FLD, mild FLD, and moderate/severe FLD populations, respectively.
Background: Variations in the prevalence and systemic inflammatory (SI) status between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and newly defined metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) have only been reported by few studies. Hence, this study aimed to compile data on the prevalence and the systemic inflammation levels of MAFLD and NAFLD in a general population from Southeast China was summarized to explore the potential effect of the transformation of disease definition.
Methods: A total of 6718 general population participants aged 35-75 were enrolled.
