Global burden of ischemic heart disease in older adult populations linked to non-optimal temperatures
Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading cause of death and disability, particularly affecting the older adult population. Extreme temperatures, especially very low and very high temperatures, are known to exacerbate cardiovascular disease burden. With the ongoing global climate change, understanding the impact of non-optimal temperatures on IHD burden becomes increasingly important, especially in vulnerable populations such as the o…
The impact of father–son relationship on suicidal ideation in Chinese gay and bisexual men
In China, gay and bisexual men exhibit higher levels of suicidal ideation than their heterosexual counterparts do. The influence of the father–son relationship on mental health within this group remains understudied. This study aims to explore the interplay between the father‒son relationship and suicidal ideation and examine the potential mediating roles of masculinity and self-esteem in this relationship among young Chinese gay and bisexual men…
The association between derived TyG index and the risk of heart failure in the elderly population
This study demonstrates a difference in the risk of HF among populations with varying levels of TyG combined with obesity indicators. In addition, persistently low and decreasing levels of TyG-WHtR also indicate an increased risk of developing HF. These biomarkers can be used as effective practical tools for identifying those at high risk of developing HF in the community's older population
Long-term exposure to residential greenness and cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in China
This study provides compelling evidence that higher residential greenness is associated with a reduced risk of CVD among the adult Chinese population, with specific modifiable risk factors playing a mediating role. These findings underscore the significance of incorporating green space interventions into CVD prevention strategies
A multivariate probabilistic framework for tracking the regional tropical edges
In the present study, a multivariate probabilistic framework is used to identify the meridional positions of regional tropical edges (RTEs), which are based on two variables: sea level pressure and precipitation minus evaporation. This new defined metric effectively captures inter-annual variability and long-term trend of the commonly adopted zonal mean tropical edge based on meridional mass stream function and near-surface winds. Besides, pronou…
Contrasting impact of single-year and multi-year El Niño on the Pacific-North American teleconnection pattern
Distinct Pacific-North American (PNA) teleconnection patterns and their associated climate impacts in North America have been observed during single-year El Niño events, as well as during both the first and second years of multi-year El Niño events. The research highlights the critical role of PNA-related North Pacific circulation anomalies, which shift northwestward during multi-year events and reach their peak intensity in the second year. Mult…
Understanding suicidal ideation disparity between sexual minority and heterosexual Chinese young men
This study is among the first to examine the potentially cascading relationships between sexual orientation and psychosocial factors with suicidal ideation in a Chinese sample of young men. The findings highlight several promising psychosocial targets (i.e., improving family/friend support and increasing self-esteem) for suicide interventions among sexual minority males in China
Cystatin C and sarcopenia index are associated with cardiovascular and all-cause death among adults in the United States
Higher sarcopenia index was associated with the decreased risk of cardiovascular and all-cause death in general population in the United States. Elevated cystatin C was positively associated with cardiovascular and all-cause death
Associations between air pollutant and pneumonia and asthma requiring hospitalization among children aged under 5 years in Ningbo, 2015–2017
Introduction: Exposure to ambient air pollutants is associated with an increased incidence of respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and asthma, especially in younger children. We investigated the relationship between rates of hospitalization of children aged under 5 years for pneumonia and asthma and the concentration of air pollutants in Ningbo between January 1, 2015 and August 29, 2017. Methods: Data were obtained from the Ningbo Air Quality …
Resilience of Amazon rainfall to CO 2 removal forcing
Over the Amazon region, rainfall-induced changes to CO 2 pathways significantly impact humans and multiple ecosystems. Its resilience is of vital importance, and idealized CO 2 removal experiments indicate that declining trends in rainfall amounts are irreversible and exhibit a deficiency when the CO 2 concentration returns to the pre-industrial level. The irreversible decline in Amazon rainfall is mainly due to the weakened ascent, further led b…
Air pollution is associated with abnormal left ventricular diastolic function
This large-scale nationwide population study demonstrated a significantly positive association between ambient PM 2.5 , PM 10 and NO 2 with ALVDF, especially for mild ALVDF. The functional abnormality may partially explain the enhanced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with air pollution, which highlights the importance of appropriate interventions to reduce ambient air pollution in China
Blue sky as a protective factor for cardiovascular disease
Objective: Blue sky has been considered to boost outdoor physical activity and social interaction, ameliorate work pressure and life stress, and enhance people's sense of happiness. However, the direct association between blue sky exposure and cardiovascular disease (CVD) still lacks epidemiological evidence. In this study, we aimed to quantify their relationship via a nationwide prospective cohort in China. Method: We extracted the baseline data…
Development and Validation of a Risk Prediction Tool to Identify People at Greater Risk of Having Hepatitis C among Drug Users
Background: People who use drugs (PWUD) are among those with the highest risk for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Highly effective direct-acting antiviral agents offer an opportunity to eliminate HCV. A simple tool for the prediction of HCV infection risk in PWUD is urgently needed. This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction tool to identify people at greater risk of having hepatitis C among PWUD that is applicable in resource-…
Spatiotemporal characteristics of atmospheric turbulence over China estimated using operational high-resolution soundings
Large-scale in situ observations are sorely lacking, leading to poor understanding of nationwide atmospheric turbulence over China. Nevertheless, high-resolution soundings have become available starting in 2011, providing a unique opportunity to investigate turbulence across China. Here, we calculated the mean turbulence dissipation rate ( ε ) from radiosonde measurements across China for the period 2011–2018 using Thorpe analysis. The atmospheri…
Asymmetric impacts of El Niño and La Niña on the Pacific–North American teleconnection pattern
The asymmetric impacts of El Niño and La Niña on the Pacific–North American teleconnection pattern in boreal winter have important implications for the surface air temperature and precipitation anomalies in North America. Previous studies have shown that the varying tropical convective heating contributes to the zonal shift of the teleconnection pattern during different El Niño/Southern Oscillation phases. In this study, using reanalysis, atmosph…

Influences of West Pacific Sea Surface Temperature on Covarying Eurasian Droughts Since the Little Ice Age
The Western Pacific Warm Pool (WP), with the highest sea surface temperature (SST) in the world, has strong impacts on the drought variations in Eurasia. However, since the little ice age (1250–1850, LIA), the co-climatic drought pattern due to WP warming in Eurasia remains unclear. This is a long-term warming background for the current warming period (CWP). In this paper, we use both instrumental data and 1625 tree-ring width records from Eurasi…
Chinese blue days
As part of the Blue-Sky Protection Campaign, we develop the Chinese Blue Days Index based on meteorology data from 385 stations in China during 1980–2014. This index is defined as the days with no rain, low cloud cover ≤75th percentile, and visibility ≥15 km at 2 pm. The spatio-temporal variations and possible driving factors of Chinese Blue Days (CBD) are further investigated, revealing a steadily rising rate of 1.6 day (d)/10 year (y) for the n…
Leading source and constraint on the systematic spread of the changes in East Asian and western North Pacific summer monsoon
With ongoing global warming, the changes in EA-WNPSM rainfall—feeding over two billion people in East Asia and the Indochina Peninsula—projected by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models show remarkable and unidentified inter-model spread. Here, we reveal the leading inter-model spread of EA-WNPSM changes in 28 CMIP5 models is related to a ‘dry north–wet south’ dipole in East Asia and a wet Indochina and WNP. This spread…
Will surface winds weaken in response to global warming
The surface Walker and tropical tropospheric circulations have been inferred to slow down from historical observations and model projections, yet analysis of large-scale surface wind predictions is lacking. Satellite measurements of surface wind speed indicate strengthening trends averaged over the global and tropical oceans that are supported by precipitation and evaporation changes. Here we use corrected anemometer-based observations to show th…
Life Satisfaction, Self-Esteem, and Loneliness Among LGB Adults and Heterosexual Adults in China
Low levels of life satisfaction have been linked to low self-esteem and loneliness, but this association has never been tested directly in LGB (lesbian/gay/bisexual) populations. We compared 275 Chinese LGB adults to 275 demographic-matched Chinese heterosexual controls on life satisfaction, self-esteem, and loneliness. LGB adults reported lower levels of self-esteem and higher levels of loneliness than heterosexuals, but similar levels of overal…
