The impact of El Niño-Southern Oscillation on the incidence of infectious diarrhea in China: Insights from a 15-year national surveillance analysis
Background: Infectious diarrhea remains a significant public health challenge, with climatic factors potentially playing a crucial role in its epidemiological spread. However, the precise mechanisms through which the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences diarrheal morbidity are still not fully understood. Methods: We collected monthly other infectious diarrhea (OID) incidence and climatic data across the 31 provincial administrative divi…
Assessing the impact of Covid-19 interventions on the hand, foot and mouth disease in Guangdong Province, China: A Bayesian modeling study
Background: The non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) against COVID-19 may have affected the transmission of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). We aimed to assess the impact of the NPIs on HFMD in the high epidemic area of HFMD, Guangdong Province. Methods: The data of HFMD cases, etiological information, and meteorological factors in Guangdong from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2021, were collected. Using a Bayesian structural time series…
Spatial accessibility and inequality analysis of rabies-exposed patients to rabies post-exposure prophylaxis clinics in Guangzhou City, China
This study clarifies the heterogeneity of spatial accessibility to rabies PEP clinics, and provide valuable insights for resource allocation to achieve the WHO target of zero human dog-mediated rabies deaths by 2030
Spatial-temporal clustering of an outbreak of Sars-CoV-2 Delta VOC in Guangzhou, China in 2021
Background: In May 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant led to the first local outbreak in China in Guangzhou City. We explored the epidemiological characteristics and spatial-temporal clustering of this outbreak. Methods: Based on the 153 cases in the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant outbreak, the Knox test was used to analyze the spatial-temporal clustering of the outbreak. We further explored the spatial-temporal clustering by gender and age groups, as …
The Mediating Role of Placental Weight Change in the Association Between Prenatal Exposure to Thallium and Birth Weight: A Prospective Birth Cohort Study
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated the embryotoxicity and fetotoxicity of thallium (Tl). However, the effects of prenatal exposure to Tl on birth weight and placental weight and the mediating role of placental weight in the association of Tl with birth weight remain unclear. Methods: We recruited 2,748 participants from the ongoing Prenatal Environment and Offspring Health Cohort (PEOH Cohort) study, which was initiated in 2016 in Gua…
Life loss per death of respiratory disease attributable to non-optimal temperature: Results from a national study in 364 Chinese locations
Many studies have linked temperature with respiratory deaths, but epidemiological evidence of temperature-attributable years of life lost (YLL) from respiratory diseases is limited. Daily respiratory YLL rates were calculated using mortality data from 364 locations of China during 2006–2017, and meteorological data were collected for the same period. First, the distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) was applied to estimate specific temperature-r…
The relationship between ambient temperature and fasting plasma glucose, temperature-adjusted type 2 diabetes prevalence and control rate: A series of cross-sectional studies in Guangdong Province, Ch…
Temperature was negatively associated with FPG for NFG and known T2DM subgroups, while their association was U-shape for newly detected T2DM patients. Hence, the temperature-adjusted T2DM prevalence show a dip/peak pattern and T2DM control rate display a rising trend when temperature increase. Our findings suggest temperature should be considered in T2DM clinic management and epidemiological survey
Developing a novel indicator to estimate years of life lost attributable to temperature variability between neighboring days
The evidence is limited for the mortality burden of temperature variability between neighboring days. This study developed a novel indicator to measure temperature variability between neighboring days and quantify its mortality burden. Daily mortality and meteorological data during 2006–2017 from 364 locations across China were collected. We first employed a distributed lag non-linear model and multivariable meta-analysis to investigate the assoc…
Modification Effects of Population Expansion, Ageing, and Adaptation on Heat-Related Mortality Risks Under Different Climate Change Scenarios in Guangzhou, China
(1) Background: Although the health effects of future climate change have been examined in previous studies, few have considered additive impacts of population expansion, ageing, and adaptation. We aimed to quantify the future heat-related years of life lost ( YLLs ) under different Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) scenarios and global-scale General Circulation Models (GCMs), and further to examine relative contributions of population …
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 Interaction between Ambient PM10 and NO2 on Mortality in Guangzhou, China
Air pollution is now a significant environmental issue in China. To better understand the health impacts of ambient air pollution, this study investigated the potential interaction between PM 10 and NO2 on mortality in Guangzhou, China. Time series data of daily non-accidental mortality and concentrations of PM 10 and NO2 from 2006 to 2010 were collected. Based on generalized additive model, we developed two models (bivariate model and stratified…
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 (…
Early rigorous control interventions can largely reduce dengue outbreak magnitude: Experience from Chaozhou, China
This study suggests that early implementation of rigorous dengue interventions can effectively reduce the epidemic size and shorten the epidemic duration
Tempo-Spatial Variations of Ambient Ozone-Mortality Associations in the USA: Results from the NMMAPS Data
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…
Disease Burden from Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Guangdong Province, China
HBV infection is a great medical challenge as well as a significant economic burden to Guangdong Province. The results suggest that substantial health benefits could be gained by extending effective public health and clinical interventions to reduce HBV infection in Guangdong Province
The spatial distribution of health vulnerability to heat waves in Guangdong Province, China
BACKGROUND: International literature has illustrated that the health impacts of heat waves vary according to differences in the spatial variability of high temperatures and the social and economic characteristics of populations and communities. However, to date there have been few studies that quantitatively assess the health vulnerability to heat waves in China. OBJECTIVES: To assess the spatial distribution of health vulnerability to heat waves…
