Limited epidemiological information exists on the relationships between fine particulate matter (PM) components and glaucoma risk. Moreover, the potential mediation effect of serum uric acid (UA) levels remains unexplored. Data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS) spanning 2011-2020 were analyzed.

This study aimed to explore the association between particulate matter (PM) and child obesity, specifically investigating whether parents' age at childbirth could modify this relationship in the Tibetan plateau, China.
Methods: Satellite-based random forest models were used to estimate the concentrations of PM (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters ≤ 2.
Background: There is limited evidence on association between air pollutants and hospital admissions, hospital cost and length of stay (LOS) among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and comorbid respiratory diseases (RD), especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with low levels of air pollution.
Methods: Daily data on RD-DM patients were collected in Panzhihua from 2016 to 2020. A generalised additive model (GAM) was used to explore the effect of air pollutants on daily hospital admissions, LOS and hospital cost.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how exposure to different levels of air pollution, particularly particulate matter (PM), impacts malnutrition indicators in children under five years old in urban and rural areas of Tibet, China.
- Using data from 2,511 children, the research reveals that long-term exposure to PM correlates with increased risks of stunting and decreased risks of underweight, with specific PM sizes having stronger associations with certain malnutrition indicators.
- The findings indicate that urban areas experience higher PM concentrations, suggesting a need for targeted public health strategies to address these disparities in child malnutrition linked to air quality.
Background: The associations of ambient air pollution with hospital admissions (HAs) for overall and specific causes of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), as well as related morbidity and economic burdens remain understudied, especially in low-pollution areas of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We evaluated the short-term effects of exposure to PM (particles with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm), PM (particles with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 μm), and SO (sulfur dioxide) on HAs for CVDs in Panzhihua, China, during 2016-2020, and calculated corresponding attributable risks and economic burden.

Design: A three-stage, stratified, cluster sampling was used to randomly select eligible individuals from July to October 2020. The data of participants, including demographic characteristics, altitude of residence, and nutritional status, were collected via questionnaire and physical examination.
