Time Spent on Social Media and the Risk of Substance Use Among US Adolescents
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Adolescence is a period marked by increased risk of substance use and extensive social media engagement. Investigating the link between social media usage and substance use among adolescents is crucial for developing effective interventions and public health policies. METHODS: This study utilized data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study, focusing on adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years …
Association of anthropogenic heat with asthma and related symptoms among children in China
Examining the non-linear association between the built environment around residence and the risk of obesity among children and adolescents at different school stages in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, China
Factors associated with food insecurity among the chronically ill population during the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States
Introduction: Little is known about food insecurity among Americans with chronic diseases, one of the vulnerable groups in health care. Factors influencing food insecurity among this population group are especially poorly understood. Methods: Using data from the COVID Impact Survey, this cross-sectional study sought to examine food insecurity among adults with chronic diseases in the United States and to identify factors associated with their ris…
Non-linear Relationship of Maternal Age With Risk of Spontaneous Abortion
Background Spontaneous abortion is one of the prevalent adverse reproductive outcomes, which seriously threatens maternal health around the world. Objective The current study is aimed to evaluate the association between maternal age and risk for spontaneous abortion among pregnant women in China. Methods This was a case-control study based on the China Birth Cohort, we compared 338 cases ending in spontaneous abortion with 1,352 controls resultin…
Association between Pet Ownership and Threatened Abortion in Pregnant Women
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the association between pet ownership and threatened abortion (TA) in pregnant Chinese women. Materials and Methods: We enrolled pregnant women from 18 provinces and autonomous regions across China between November 2017 and December 2020. Participants were grouped based on the presence or absence of pet ownership. Pet owners were further sub-grouped based on the presence or absence of close contact …

Efficacy Evaluation Study for Microburst Insulin Infusion
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the impact of Microburst Insulin Infusion (MII) treatment on Type 1 and 2 diabetic patients' HbA1c, lipids, peripheral neuropathy, and patient-reported health status. Methods: We reviewed clinical charts, including lab results, for more than 80 diabetic and pre-diabetic patients treated at one U.S. outpatient clinic in St. Louis, Missouri between February 2017 and December 2019. Data included patient demogr…
Does A Medical Consortium Influence Health Outcomes of Hospitalized Cancer Patients? An Integrated Care Model in Shanxi, China
The medical consortium provides an effective strategy to improve the outcomes of cancer patients in Shanxi, China. The partnerships between top-tier hospitals and grassroots medical services bridge the gap in resources and plays a critical role in the quality of care in China
Critical Windows of Prenatal Exposure to Cadmium and Size at Birth
Prenatal cadmium (Cd) exposure has been associated with adverse birth outcomes, but the findings of previous studies are inconsistent. We measured Cd concentrations in urine samples at or near 13, 24, and 35 gestational weeks from 282 women in Wuhan, China. We used generalized estimating equation models to assess the associations between maternal creatinine adjusted urinary Cd concentrations at each trimester and birth size. A significant inverse…
Estimating the Excess Mortality Risk during Two Red Alert Periods in Beijing, China
The magnitude of excess mortality risk due to exposures to heavy air pollution during the red alert periods in Beijing remains unknown. A health impact assessment tool combined with the PM 2.5 -mortality relationship was applied to estimate the number of excess deaths due to high air pollution exposure during two red alert periods in Beijing, China in December 2015. Daily PM 2.5 concentration increased from 80.2 μg/m3 to 159.8 μg/m3 during the fi…
The Association of Domestic Incense Burning with Hypertension and Blood Pressure in Guangdong, China
Domestic incense burning is a common activity in China. Although it generates serious air pollution and has been linked to various health outcomes, it remains unknown whether it is associated with blood pressure and hypertension. A community-based survey including 1153 hypertensive subjects and 4432 normotensive participants in Guangdong (China) was used to examine this question. Two-level logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio (…
Tempo-Spatial Variations of Ambient Ozone-Mortality Associations in the USA
Although the health effects of ambient ozone have been widely assessed, their tempo-spatial variations remain unclear. We selected 20 communities (ten each from southern and northern USA) based on the US National Morbidity, Mortality, and Air Pollution Study (NMMAPS) dataset. A generalized linear model (GLM) was used to estimate the season-specific association between each 10 ppb (lag0-2 day average) increment in daily 8 h maximum ozone concentra…
Relationship Between Common Mental Disorder Symptoms During Pregnancy and Preterm Birth Among Chinese Women in Wuhan
Home Renovation, Family History of Atopy, and Respiratory Symptoms and Asthma Among Children Living in China
Objectives. To investigate the association of indoor air pollution with the respiratory health of children, we evaluated the associations of children’s respiratory symptoms with asthma and recent home renovation. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in a school recruitment sample of 31 049 children aged 2 to 14 years in 25 districts of 7 cities of northeast China in 2008–2009. The children’s parents completed standardized questionnaires…
