Knowledge, practice, and information sources regarding infectious diseases among Chinese children and adolescents: A National-Level cross-sectional study
Children's knowledge and various sources of access to information significantly predicted the prevention practice score. It might add value to future interventions and policy-making in promoting preventive measures for infectious diseases
Phthalates exposure and longitudinal trajectories of body composition and regional fat distribution in children: Shifting towards “apple-shaped” body and the role of physical activity
PAEs exposure was linked to larger trajectories of fat mass, BF% and BMD, a smaller LM trajectory, and fat accumulation in the trunk and upper limbs, suggesting an "apple-shaped" body. Physical activity help relieve the increased BMD driven by PAEs and fat buildup in the upper body related to PAEs
Global fertility in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2021, with forecasts to 2100: A comprehensive demographic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
BACKGROUND: Accurate assessments of current and future fertility-including overall trends and changing population age structures across countries and regions-are essential to help plan for the profound social, economic, environmental, and geopolitical challenges that these changes will bring. Estimates and projections of fertility are necessary to inform policies involving resource and health-care needs, labour supply, education, gender equality,…
Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease…
BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…
Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1950–2021, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic: A compr…
BACKGROUND: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides new demographic estimates for 204 cou…
Association between 29 food groups of diet quality questionnaire and perceived stress in Chinese adults: A prospective study from China health and nutrition survey
This study indicated that food groups were differentially associated with perceived stress
Global, regional, and national burden of diabetes from 1990 to 2021, with projections of prevalence to 2050: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and affects people regardless of country, age group, or sex. Using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD), we produced location-specific, age-specific, and sex-specific estimates of diabetes prevalence and burden from 1990 to 2021, the proportion of type 1 and type 2 diabetes…
Food choice in transition: Adolescent autonomy, agency, and the food environment
Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990–2019
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), principally ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke, are the leading cause of global mortality and a major contributor to disability. This paper reviews the magnitude of total CVD burden, including 13 underlying causes of cardiovascular death and 9 related risk factors, using estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019. GBD, an ongoing multinational collaboration to provide comparable and consisten…
Association between birth weight and risk of abdominal obesity in children and adolescents: A school-based epidemiology survey in China
Birth weight ≥ 3000 g, especially for boys, was associated with an elevated risk of abdominal obesity in childhood and may benefit from intervention to mitigate this risk
Body Mass Index Trajectory and Incident Hypertension: Results From a Longitudinal Cohort of Chinese Children and Adolescents, 2006–2016
Objectives. To identify body mass index (BMI) trajectories in Chinese children and to compare the risk of incident high blood pressure (HBP) across trajectory groups. Methods. A total of 9286 children were included. The mean age at baseline was 8.9 years; age at endpoint ranged between 16 and 18 years. At least 8 measurements were obtained from each involved child. We used group-based trajectory modeling to identify BMI trajectory groups in each …
Trends in physical fitness, growth, and nutritional status of Chinese children and adolescents: A retrospective analysis of 1·5 million students from six successive national surveys between 1985 and 2…
Association of School Residential PM2.5 with Childhood High Blood Pressure: Results from an Observational Study in 6 Cities in China
The association between long-term PM 2.5 exposure and BP values appeared to be U-shaped in Chinese children aged 6-18 years, and increased PM 2.5 exposure was associated with higher risk of HBP
Low Birthweight Is Associated with Higher Risk of High Blood Pressure in Chinese Girls: Results from a National Cross-Sectional Study in China
Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed a U-shaped relationship with increased birthweight. Compared to NBW groups, LBW girls showed a higher HBP risk, with an odds ratio of 1.29 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02, 1.64, p = 0.033), regardless of their current body mass index status, while no significant association in boys was found. Conclusions : Low birthweight is associated with higher HBP risk in adolescent girls, regardless of th…
Subnational variation of stunting, wasting and malnutrition in Chinese primary-school children between 2010 and 2014: Urban–rural disparity
Objective To examine urban–rural disparity in childhood stunting, wasting and malnutrition at national and subnational levels in Chinese primary-school children in 2010 and 2014. Design Data were obtained from two nationwide cross-sectional surveys conducted in 2010 and 2014. Malnutrition was classified using the Chinese national ‘Screening Standard for Malnutrition of Children’. Setting All twenty-seven mainland provinces and four municipalities…
Prevalence of excess body weight and underweight among 26 Chinese ethnic minority children and adolescents in 2014: A cross-sectional observational study
A worrying dual burden of excess body weight and underweight was recognized in Chinese ethnic minority children. Since various characteristics were found among different minorities, the ethnic-specific effort is warranted to improve their nutritional status
The association between fetal-stage exposure to the China famine and risk of diabetes mellitus in adulthood: Results from the China health and retirement longitudinal study
Famine exposure in fetal stages was associated with the elevated diabetes risk in adults, which could be the critical periods for relative intervention
Association between the Great China Famine exposure in early life and risk of arthritis in adulthood
Background The association between famine exposure in early life and risk of arthritis (combination of osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis) in adulthood is unclear. The aim of this study is to explore the association. Methods A total of 4124 subjects were selected from the national data of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2011–2012. Doctor-diagnosed arthritis was self-reported in participants’ questionnaire. Birthdates …
Fetal and infant exposure to severe Chinese famine increases the risk of adult dyslipidemia: Results from the China health and retirement longitudinal study
Early-life exposure to severe Chinese famine could link with the higher dyslipidemia risk in female adulthood, but not in male adulthood. This gender-specific effect might be associated with the hypothesis that parents in China prefer boys to girls traditionally or survivors' bias
Prevalence of high blood pressure subtypes and its associations with BMI in Chinese children: A national cross-sectional survey
The distribution of high blood pressure subtypes in boys differed from those in girls, and boys with adiposity showed a higher risk of high blood pressure than their female counterpart. Difference in strength of association between isolated diastolic high blood pressure and isolated systolic high blood pressure with body mass index was also found. These results may aid current strategies for preventing and controlling pediatric hypertension
Infant exposure to Chinese famine increased the risk of hypertension in adulthood: Results from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
Infanthood exposed to famine might increase the risk of hypertension in adulthood, and a postnatal 'rich' nutrient environment further increased the risk
