AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate the burden of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and its associated risk factors in Fujian, China, from 1990 to 2013.
- The age-standardized death rate from IHD increased by 15.3%, while disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) slightly decreased by 8.8% during the same period, mainly due to population growth and aging.
- The leading risk factors contributing to IHD DALYs were high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, high sodium diet, and elevated blood glucose, indicating significant opportunities for prevention.
Article Abstract
Objectives: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a large public health problem and is associated with a number of modifiable risk factors. The aim of this study was to estimate the IHD burden and attributable to risk factors in Fujian, China during 1990 to 2013.
Methods: IHD deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and attributable to risk factors were estimated as part of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2013 Study. Statistical models were employed to produce comprehensive results of IHD deaths, DALYs and attributable to risk. Means and 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) were calculated for mortality and DALYs. The median of the percent change and 95% UI were determined for the period between 1990 and 2013.
Results: The age-standardized IHD deaths rate increased by 15.3% from 1990 [74.7 (95% UI 62.9-99.1) per 100,000] to 2013 [82.7 (56.5-95.5) per 100,000]. The age-standardized IHD DALYs has slightly decreased 8.8% from 1990 to 2013[from 1356.2 (1134.3-1732.1) to 1202.7 (879.6-1404.6) per 100,000]. All risks combined account for 94.7% (92.9%- 96.0%) of IHD DALYs for all ages in 2013. The five leading risk factors for all ages IHD DALYs were high systolic blood pressure, high total cholesterol, smoking, diet high in sodium, and high fasting plasma glucose.
Conclusion: Despite decreased age-standardized IHD deaths and DALY rate since 1990, population growth and aging led to a higher global burden of IHD in 2013. Behavioral, environmental, and metabolic risks can explain most of the IHD DALYs providing many opportunities for prevention.

Among the most pressing problems societies face today are economic inequality and the erosion of democratic norms and institutions. In fact the two problems-inequality and democratic erosion-are linked. In a large cross-national statistical study of risk factors for democratic erosion, we establish that economic inequality is one of the strongest predictors of where and when democracy erodes.

Objective: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In particular, functional outcomes of SAH caused by large or giant (≥ 10 mm) ruptured intracranial aneurysms are worsened by high procedure-related complication rates. However, studies describing the risk factors for poor functional outcomes specific to ruptured large/giant aneurysms are sparse.

Methods: Using Florida de-identified birth records, logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess associations between maternal exposure to PM2.

Objective: Hand function, an important component of daily functioning, declines with age, yet the degree to which occupation modifies such declines is largely unknown.Methods: Older adults (≥65) completed an online cross-sectional survey containing a standardized hand function questionnaire, occupation-related questions, and demographic information. Participants were then categorized by their longest-held occupation as Blue Collar or White Collar.
