Background: Existing evidence suggests that fruit consumption is a significant influencing factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but this is unclear in the Chinese population. We examined the association of fresh fruit consumption with the risk of COPD-related hospitalization and death in a nationwide, population-based prospective cohort from China.
Methods: Between 2004 and 2008, the China Kadoorie Biobank recruited >0.
Two genetic variants that alter alcohol metabolism, ALDH2-rs671 and ADH1B-rs1229984, can modify oesophageal cancer risk associated with alcohol consumption in East Asians, but their associations with other cancers remain uncertain. ALDH2-rs671 G>A and ADH1B-rs1229984 G>A were genotyped in 150 722 adults, enrolled from 10 areas in China during 2004 to 2008. After 11 years' follow-up, 9339 individuals developed cancer.

- The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of collecting detailed personal air pollution exposure data across different settings and seasons, focusing on ambient and household air pollutants in China.
- A total of 477 participants were recruited from both rural and urban areas, where fine particulate matter (PM) levels were continuously monitored alongside questionnaires about soci-demographics and fuel usage.
- Findings revealed that rural participants typically used solid fuels for cooking and heating, with PM levels significantly higher in colder seasons and rural households compared to urban ones, highlighting the need for targeted air quality interventions.
