Spatiotemporal change characteristics of NDVI and response to climate factors in the Jixi Wetland, Eastern China.

Exploring the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of vegetation in the confluent area of water systems in western Jinan and its response mechanism to climatic factors is of great significance for the scientific evaluation of the benefits of the water system connectivity project and eco-environmental protection and can provide a reference for ecotourism development in the Jixi wetland park. Based on the Landsat series of images and meteorological data, this study used ENVI to interpret the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of the confluent area from 2010 to 2021, and the spatiotemporal change characteristics and trends of NDVI were quantitatively analyzed. The response of the growing-season NDVI (GSN) to climate factors and its time-lag effect were explored.

Identification of Factors on Blood Selenium Levels in the US Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for humans and its low or high concentration in vivo is associated with the high risk of many diseases. It is important to identify influential factors of Se status. The present study aimed to explore the association between several factors (Se intake, gender, age, race, education, body mass index (BMI), income, smoking and alcohol status) and blood Se concentration using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2020 data.

The Associations of Vitamin D Level with Metabolic Syndrome and Its Components Among Adult Population: Evidence from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018.

Vitamin D can both stimulate and inhibit adipogenesis, indicating that associations of the vitamin D level with some metabolic disorders may be nonlinear. This cross-sectional study aims to explore potential nonlinear associations of the 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] level with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components. Adults without previously diagnosed specific noncommunicable disease were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018 ( = 870).

The association of prediabetes with dietary patterns, life behavior and cardiovascular risk factors among adult population without previously diagnosed non-communicable diseases.

Background And Aims: Prediabetes and its risk factors are difficult to recognize because there may be no clear symptoms in that stage of diabetes mellitus (DM) progression. This cross-sectional study aims to examine associations between prediabetes and potential risk factors among adult population without previously diagnosed non-communicable diseases.

Methods And Results: Study participants (n = 30823) were selected all over China.

The association between vitamin D levels and metabolic syndrome components among metropolitan adolescent population.

Objectives: Vitamin D promotes both lipolysis and lipogenesis, and some pediatric studies showed inconsistent associations between vitamin D and metabolic syndrome (MetS). This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the association between vitamin D levels and MetS components among metropolitan adolescents.

Methods: A total of 4,149 adolescents aged 10-18 years were recruited from 23 metropolises in China.

The fasting serum triglyceride levels of elderly population with different progression stages of diabetes mellitus in China.

Aims: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate triglyceride level among Chinese elderly population with different diabetic progressions and related factors of triglyceride.

Methods: Study participants (≥65years) were recruited from a nationwide cross-sectional surveillance and were divided into four subgroups according to diabetic progression. Their information was obtained via questionnaire and physical examination.

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and elderly skeletal muscle mass and function in urban north China.

Background And Objectives: To investigate the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) with skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and function among the elderly in an urban area in northern China.

Methods And Study Design: A total of 912 participants (316 men, 596 women) aged more than 60 years from 4 communities in Beijing were enrolled. Serum concentrations of 25(OH)D were measured through radioimmunoassay.

[Consumption of aquatic foods of Chinese aged 60 and above in 2010-2012].

Objective: To investigate the consumption of aquatic foods of old people in China.

Methods: The elderly( 60 years or older) were from the 2010- 2012 Chinese Residents Nutrition and Health Surveillance. Their basic information were surveyed, and their consumption of aquatic foods were recorded by food frequency questionnaire.

[Status of livestock and poultry meat intake of Chinese aged 65 and above in 2010-2012].

Objective: To analyze the livestock and poultry intake of Chinese elderly.

Methods: Data were collected from 2010- 2012 China National Nutrition and Health Surveillance. Information on livestock and poultry intake was collected by using the food frequency questionnaire.

[Relationship between dietary pattern and maternal state of fatty acids during pregnancy in three regions of China].

Objective: To investigate the dietary pattern during pregnancy and the compositions of fatty acids of phosphatidylcholine (PC) during pregnancy in different regions of China.

Method: 35 Health women of each region were recruited from three different geographical regions in China: Jurong (an inland region close to freshwater), Rizhao (a coastal region) and Xushui (an inland region with limited access to freshwater). All women were long-term residents of their respective region.

[Analysis of the dietary factors on sarcopenia in elderly in Beijing].

Objective: To analyze the dietary factors on sarcopenia in elderly in Beijing and provide nutritional recommendations for the sarcopenia.

Method: A total of 830 participants aged 60 and above and without serious diseases were selected from two representative communities in Beijing. A cross-sectional research design was used, including inquiry investigation, dietary surveys (food frequency questionnaire) anthropometry, muscle mass and functional assessment.

Objective: To investigate dietary pattern during late pregnancy and fatty acid composition of transitional milk in inland regions of China.

Methods: Eighty Chinese women were recruited from two different geographical inland regions (Jurong, an inland region close to freshwater. Xushui, an inland region with limited access to freshwater, forty women from each region) during late pregnancy.

Risk and benefit assessment of potential neurodevelopmental effect resulting from consumption of marine fish from a coastal archipelago in China.

The aim of this study was to assess net neurodevelopmental effect via maternal consumption of marine fish. A total of thirty-one species were collected from Zhoushan, China. The net IQ point gain was assessed by FAO/WHO deterministic approach and probabilistic computation (if necessary).

Different intakes of n-3 fatty acids among pregnant women in 3 regions of China with contrasting dietary patterns are reflected in maternal but not in umbilical erythrocyte phosphatidylcholine fatty acid composition.

There is limited information regarding the intake and status of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in Chinese pregnant women with different dietary patterns. We hypothesize that there will be significant differences in long chain n-3 and n-6 PUFA status in pregnant women from 3 regions of China (river/lake, coastal and inland). Dietary fatty acid intakes and fatty acid profiles in maternal and umbilical erythrocyte phosphatidylcholine (PC) were analyzed.
