Background & Aims: Numerous studies have evaluated the effects of dietary protein on specific health outcomes. The aim of our umbrella review was to summarize the existing evidence between the intake of dietary proteins and multiple health outcomes, and assess their strength and validity.
Methods: Our study was registered at PROSPERO (No.
Adverse effects from exposure to particulate matter <2.5 μm in diameter (PM) on health-related outcomes have been found in a range of experimental and epidemiological studies. This study aimed to assess the significance, validity, and reliability of the relationship between long-term PM exposure and various health outcomes.

Epidemiological studies focused on the influence of outdoor air pollution (AP) on COVID-19 risk have produced inconsistent conclusions. We aimed to quantitatively explore this association using a meta-analysis.

However, the association between air pollution (AP) and MetS risk has been contradictory in observational studies. This is the first reported meta-analysis quantitatively exploring the aforementioned association.

This study aimed to summarize the chest imaging characteristics of pediatric COVID-19 cases and provide a reference for the diagnosis and control of pediatric COVID-19.
Methods: The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO, number CRD42020177391.
Article Synopsis
- * This study aimed to systematically review and analyze the relationship between maternal antenatal depression and neonatal Apgar scores, utilizing research from multiple reputable databases.
- * The analysis of 13 studies with over 12,000 women found that while antenatal depression raised the risk for a low Apgar score at 5 minutes, there was no significant difference in mean Apgar scores between babies born to depressed and non-depressed mothers.
