The association between rapid growth and lipid profile: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background & Aims: Metabolic disease prevalence has increased in many regions, and is closely associated with dyslipidemia. Rapid growth refers to a significant increase in growth velocity above the normal range, particularly in infants and children, and is highly prevalent in congenital deficiency infants. But the association between dyslipidemia and rapid growth remains controversial.

Dose response relationship between breast cancer and somatotypes during childhood: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between breast cancer and somatotypes during early life by meta-analysis and give the corresponding advice.

Methods: Observational studies till April 5, 2021, which explore women with/without breast cancer who used the Stunkard Figure Rating Scale/Sørensen Somatotypes to evaluate their somatotype before 18 years of age and distant breast cancer risk were included. Using random/fixed-effect models, the pooled relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated.

Air pollution and stroke hospitalization in the Beibu Gulf Region of China: A case-crossover analysis.

Background: The relationship between air pollution and stroke has been extensively studied, however, the evidence regarding the association between air pollution and hospitalization due to stroke and its subtypes in coastal areas of China is limited.

Objective: To estimate the associations between air pollution and hospitalizations of stroke and its subtypes in the Beibu Gulf Region of China.

Methods: We conducted a time-stratified case-crossover study in 15 cities in Beibu Gulf Region in China from 2013 to 2016.

Effects of rapid growth on fasting insulin and insulin resistance: a system review and meta-analysis.

Infants with congenital deficiency have high risk of glucose metabolism disorder, and often experience rapid growth in early childhood. However, the role of rapid growth on glucose metabolism is controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the association of rapid growth with fasting insulin and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).

The effects of rapid growth on body mass index and percent body fat: A meta-analysis.

Background & Aims: Rapid growth in childhood and obesity are highly prevalent in congenital deficiency infants, but the associations between them remain controversial. This meta-analysis was performed to explore the effects of rapid growth on body mass index (BMI) and percent body fat (PBF), and to clarify potential confounders.

Methods: A systematic search was performed using electronic databases including EMBASE (1985 to July 2019) and Medline (1966 to July 2019) for English articles.

Dose-response relationship between body mass index and risks of all-cause mortality and disability among the elderly: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background & Aims: To establish the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and risks of mortality and disability among the Elderly.

Methods: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis was performed. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar were searched systematically until December 2017 for relative studies reporting the hazard ratio (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of all-cause mortality or disability across different BMI categories.

The effect of meteorological factors on adolescent hand, foot, and mouth disease and associated effect modifiers.

Background : Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a contagious viral illness that commonly affects infants and children. This infection is an emerging infectious disease in Rizhao in recent years. The present study examined the short-term effects of meteorological factors on adolescent HFMD in Rizhao.
