Published: September 2022

The rapid aging of the population presents great challenges in terms of China's social security expenditure and economic growth. This paper uses the entropy method to comprehensively measure the provincial population aging index in 2008-2019 and constructs an intermediary effect model with it as the core explanatory variable. The results show that the population aging has a significant positive impact on economic growth and on the promotion of the economic growth of more developed areas; it also has a positive impact on the endowment insurance expenditure and medical and health expenditure and on the promotion of economically backward areas. Endowment spending and health spending fully mediate the relationship between population aging and economic growth.

Background And Objective: Esophageal cancer (EC) is the seventh most prevalent cancer globally and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality. This study aimed to provide an updated stratified assessment of rates in EC incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from 1990 to 2021 by sex, age, and Socio-demographic Index (SDI) at global, regional, and national levels, as well as to project the future trends of EC both globally and regionally.

Methods: Data about age-standardized rates (ASRs) of incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASDR), probability of death (ASPoD) and DALYs (ASDALYRs) of EC were obtained from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.

Current Progress and Future Directions in Non-Alzheimer's Disease Tau PET Tracers.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) and non-AD tauopathies are dominant public health issues driven by several factors, especially in the aging population. The discovery of first-generation radiotracers, including [F]FDDNP, [C]PBB3, [F]flortaucipir, and the [F]THK series, for the in vivo detection of tauopathies has marked a significant breakthrough in the fields of neuroscience and radiopharmaceuticals, creating a robust new category of labeled compounds: tau positron emission tomography (PET) tracers. Subsequently, other tau PET tracers with improved binding properties have been developed using various chemical scaffolds to target the three-repeat/four-repeat (3R/4R) tau folds in AD.

Background: Injury prevalence is a metric which can be used to understand healthcare utilisation and prioritise injuries based on the magnitude of the injury rate. Given the ageing population in high-income countries and subsequently ageing of the injured population, the probability of long-term or permanent consequences of injuries is also likely to increase. By understanding past trends and exploiting patterns of prevalence injury rates (PIRs), future PIRs can be predicted.
