Medical geography is an edge subject crossing many other subjects. It has lately become the focus of attention for the continuously worsening of the living surroundings (earth environment) of the human beings and a series of threats it imposes on human health. This text consists of a comprehensive description of the history of medical geography, a detailed introduction of the research work done in China. What's more, we put forward the idea that disease geography and health geography will become the hotspot in recent study in our country.

Differences in oral microbiota associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus between the Dai and Han populations.
J Oral Microbiol
December 2024
Department of Clinical Laboratory, Yan'an Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University, Kunming, China.
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) development is closely linked to microbiota, influenced by geography, ethnicity, gender, and age. While the relationship between oral microbiota and T2DM has been explored, specific microbiota associated with T2DM in the Dai and Han populations remains unclear. This study aims to compare oral microbiota differences and identify keystone species between these populations, both with and without T2DM.

Context: Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) are debilitating disorders with unknown current prevalence.
Objective: To estimate global prevalence rates of FAPDs, their entities, and variations by diagnostic criteria, geography, gender, and age.
Data Sources: Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and Cochrane Library were searched through October 14, 2024.
Utility and bias in psychosocial evaluations for transplant listing.
Curr Opin Organ Transplant
January 2025
Department of Community Health.
Purpose Of Review: Disparities in access to transplantation are persistent and pervasive among minoritized populations, and remain incompletely explained by socioeconomic status, insurance, geography, or medical factors. Although much attention has been paid to factors contributing to disparities in organ allocation, fewer studies have focused on barriers to the transplant waitlist. Given increasing calls for equity in organ transplantation, we examine the role of nonmedical factors used in transplant listing decisions, including psychosocial factors like social support, motivation, and knowledge in improving utility in transplant listing decisions, as well as their potential for reinforcing bias.

Lancet Reg Health West Pac
January 2025
Peking University China-Japan Friendship School of Clinical Medicine, Beijing, China.
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) as a preventable and potentially fatal noncommunicable disease was believed to have a lower incidence in Asian populations compared to Western populations. However, the incidence and mortality rates of PE in China and the impact of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention system constructions on PE still lack nationwide evidence.
Methods: For this nationwide hospital-based observational study, we used data from the National Hospital Quality Monitoring System (HQMS) and public database in China.
Genomic insights into Neolithic founding paternal lineages around the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau using integrated YanHuang resource.
iScience
December 2024
Institute of Rare Diseases, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610000, China.
Indigenous populations of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau exhibit unique high-altitude adaptations, especially within Tibeto-Burman (TB) groups. However, the paternal genetic heritage of eastern Plateau regions remains less explored. We present one integrative Y chromosome dataset of 9,901 modern and ancient individuals, including whole Y chromosome sequences from 1,297 individuals and extensive Y-SNP/STR genotype data.
