Background: Biliary tract carcinomas (BTCs) are relatively rare but lethal primary malignant tumors derived from the biliary tract system. The burden of BTCs varies according to sex, age, region, and country, but limited attention has been paid to the burden of BTCs. We sought to explore the up-to-date data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) and expand findings by accessing the demographic features of BTC disease burden.

The burden of type 2 diabetes attributable to air pollution across China and its provinces, 1990-2021: an analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

Background: Temporal trends and geographical disparities in type 2 diabetes burden attributable to air pollution, including ambient and household, are not fully understood within China. This study aims to estimate the burden of type 2 diabetes attributable to air pollution at national and provincial levels from 1990 to 2021.

Methods: We assessed air pollution exposure across 33 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, and special administrative regions, focusing on two common forms of air pollution: ambient particulate matter pollution (defined as the annual gridded concentration of PM) and household air pollution (defined as the percentage of households using solid cooking fuels and their corresponding exposure to PM).

Burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease attributable to ambient ozone pollution across China and its provinces, 1990-2021: An analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

Background: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a causal relationship between ambient ozone (O 3 ) and mortality from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is the only outcome considered in the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 for O 3 . This study aims to evaluate the temporal trend and spatial distribution of the COPD burden attributable to O 3 across China from 1990 to 2021.

Methods: The ambient O 3 concentrations in China were estimated.

Marital status as an independent prognostic factor for survival in women with vaginal cancer: evidence from the SEER database analysis.

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of marital status on the survival outcomes of women diagnosed with vaginal cancer, considering the potential role of sociodemographic factors in patient prognosis. Utilizing data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, the study included 6046 women with primary vaginal cancer diagnosed between 2000 and 2020. The propensity score matching (PSM) method was employed to balance comparison groups and account for confounding factors.

Trends in the Mortality Rate of Major Kidney Diseases - China, 2014-2021.

Introduction: Kidney disease represents a significant public health issue in China, yet there is a lack of comprehensive knowledge regarding national and regional trends in its mortality and causes. This study evaluated the mortality, causes, and regional distribution of major kidney diseases in China from 2014 to 2021.

Methods: Data pertaining to kidney disease were obtained from the National Death Cause Surveillance System.

Associations Between Changes in Physical Activity and Risk of All-Cause Mortality in Adults With/Without Hypertension - China, 2010-2022.

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Previous studies indicate that an increase in physical activity can diminish the risk of mortality. However, the relationship between longitudinal changes in physical activity and health improvement among Chinese adults with or without hypertension has not been explored.

What Is Added By This Report?: This study found that increasing or maintaining moderate to high physical activity levels reduced the risk of all-cause mortality, irrespective of the baseline physical activity level.
