Evaluating the causal links between long-term exposure to artificial light at night and lung cancer mortality based on the Pearl River Cohort Study with 0.5 million participants
Artificial light at night (LAN) pollution is a growing public health concern. However, there has been limited epidemiological research on the LAN-lung cancer mortality links. Evidence from large cohorts and causal inference approaches is far more limited. We included 476,328 individuals from 35 randomly selected communities in southern China. A satellite-based approach was used to assess LAN exposure, which was assigned to participants based on t…
Extreme weather salience as a climate crisis signal
Personal salience regarding extreme weather events may be crucial for recognising the profound effects of anthropogenic climate change. However, efforts to understand how individuals attribute extreme weather events to anthropogenic climate change, and their implications for eco-anxiety, have not effectively integrated psychological perspectives. Following Hong Kong’s wettest storm on record in 2023, we recruited a cross-sectional sample of adult…
Maternal exposure to PM 2.5 and its major components and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus
Background Evidence regarding the association between maternal exposure to PM 2.5 and its major components and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is still limited. Our study aimed to fill this research gap with a case–control study in Southern China. Methods 191 cases and 764 controls were enrolled during 2013–2020. Daily mean PM 2.5 and component concentrations were obtained from the ChinaHighAirPollutants. GDM was diagnosed using t…
Association between occupational ionizing radiation exposure duration and the increased risk of dyslipidemia
Background Although radiation workers’ exposure levels consistently remained below established safety thresholds, accumulating evidence demonstrates that chronic low-dose ionizing radiation exposure may still pose significant health risks to humans. We aimed to explore the relationship between the years of low-dose radiation work and dyslipidemia. Methods We collected occupational and physical examination data of 10,338 radiation workers from 1,2…

Revisiting the complex time-varying effect of non-pharmaceutical interventions on Covid-19 transmission in the United States
Introduction: Although the global COVID-19 emergency ended, the real-world effects of multiple non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and the relative contribution of individual NPIs over time were poorly understood, limiting the mitigation of future potential epidemics. Methods: Based on four large-scale datasets including epidemic parameters, virus variants, vaccines, and meteorological factors across 51 states in the United States from August…
Assessing the effectiveness of the expanded hepatitis A vaccination program in China
INTRODUCTION: China initialised the expanded hepatitis A vaccination programme (EHAP) in 2008. However, the effectiveness of the programme remains unclear. We aimed to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of EHAP in the country. METHODS: Based on the provincial data on the incidence of hepatitis A (HepA), the population and meteorological variables in China, we developed interrupted time series (ITS) models to estimate the effectiveness of …

The risk of injuries during work and its association with precipitation
Background Injuries during work are often exogenous and can be easily influenced by environmental factors, especially weather conditions. Precipitation, a crucial weather factor, has been linked to unintentional injuries, yet evidence of its effect on work-related injuries is limited. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the impact of precipitation on injuries during work as well as its variation across numerous vulnerability features. Methods Records …
The impact of monthly air pollution exposure and its interaction with individual factors
Background Although the association between short-term air pollution exposure and certain hospitalizations has been well documented, evidence on the effect of longer-term (e. g., monthly) air pollution on a comprehensive set of outcomes is still limited. Method A total of 68,416 people in South China were enrolled and followed up during 2019–2020. Monthly air pollution level was estimated using a validated ordinary Kriging method and assigned to …

Spatial-temporal pattern of tuberculosis mortality in China and its relationship with long-term PM 2.5 exposure based on a causal inference approach
Evidence on the spatial-temporal distribution of tuberculosis (TB) mortality across China and its relationship with long-term particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) exposure is limited. We aimed to address significant gaps in our understanding of the spatial-temporal clustering patterns of TB mortality in China and provide evidence for its causal links with long-term PM 2.5 exposure. Annual pulmonary TB mortality, PM 2.5 concentrations, and socioeconomic f…
Interactions between long-term ambient particle exposures and lifestyle on the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes
Introduction Evidence on the interaction of lifestyle and long-term ambient particle (PM) exposure on the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, particularly their combined condition is limited. We investigate the associations between PM and these outcomes and whether the associations were modified by various lifestyles. Methods This was a large population-based survey during 2019–2021 in Southern China. The concentrations of PM were interpolated …
Complex interaction between meteorological factors on the risk of hand, foot, and mouth disease
The relationship between meteorological factors and the risk of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) has been well documented. However, researchers have failed to consider the complex interactive relationships among meteorological factors. The weekly number of HFMD cases along with meteorological factors were collected between 2009 to 2017 in four cities in Guangdong Province. We used Bayesian kernel machine regression to investigate the nonlinea…
How air pollution altered the association of meteorological exposures and the incidence of dengue fever
Meteorological exposures are well-documented factors underlying the dengue pandemics, and air pollution was reported to have the potential to change the behaviors and health conditions of mosquitos. However, it remains unclear whether air pollution could modify the association of meteorological exposures and the incidence of dengue fever. We matched the dengue surveillance data with the meteorological and air pollution data collected from monitor…
