Biological age, health, and health-risk indicators were examined among 460 systematically chosen men, aged 25-57 years, in two parts of Finland. Morbidity rates and the prevalence of some health-risk indicators were higher and the standard of living lower in North Karelia than in South-West Finland. The index of biological age (IBA) did not show significant differences between the districts and did not correlate with health-risk indicators. People working in physically hard occupations (industrial and mining workers) were found to have more diseases and had higher IBA values than had workers in lighter occupations. The results suggest that both ageing and morbidity are regulated by occupational status and social conditions connected with it.

Climate-Driven Escalation of Global PM Health Burden from Wildland Fires.
Environ Sci Technol

College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China.
Wildland fires constitute a major source of ambient fine particulate matter (PM), significantly impacting air quality and public health. As the climate becomes warmer and drier, fire frequency is projected to rise, yet how the associated health impacts of fire-sourced PM (FPM) respond to climate change remains vague. In this study, we modeled the global concentration and associated premature deaths of FPM over the past two decades.

School of Medical Laboratory Medicine, Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities, Baise, Guangxi, 533000, People's Republic of China.
Objective: To explore the relationship between triglyceride glucose (TyG) and the obesity combined indexes and the occurrence of multiple chronic diseases (MCD), which will help to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of this condition.
Methods: 3037 participants in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, which was conducted from 2011 to 2015 were selected for this study. They were divided into four groups (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) based on the quartiles of TyG, TyG-BMI, TyGWC and TyGWHtR in the baseline data.
