Short-term effects of ambient PM 2.5 on respiratory healthcare utilisation in older adults: A time-series study in an industrialising area of Central Thailand
Background: concentrations and respiratory healthcare utilisation among older adults living near a newly established industrial area in central Thailand. Methods: . We used single-lag and moving-average models to assess delayed effects, adjusting for temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, day of the week, and temporal trends. Results: at lag 4 was associated with a 5.5% increase in respiratory healthcare visits (IRR = 1.055, 95% confidence i…
Climate, health, and living condition crises in the expanding informal settlements and slums of South-West Nigeria: A case report of Ogun and Oyo states
The rapid expansion of informal settlements and slums in southwestern Nigeria, particularly along the Lagos-Ogun-Oyo corridor, underscores the critical challenges posed by rapid urbanisation and population growth in this major economic hub of West Africa. This corridor, home to key infrastructure, industries, and economic activities, has seen a significant rise in unplanned communities due to its economic opportunities. In particular, Ogun and Oy…
Barriers and facilitators to accessing healthcare for early diagnosis of prostate cancer for black men—a qualitative exploration in North-East England and Scotland
Barriers to accessing healthcare for early prostate cancer diagnosis are complex and multifaceted, requiring complex solutions. Asset-based, participatory, and culturally tailored interventions have the potential to be effective in addressing barriers, and thus ultimately reduce morbidity and mortality through earlier diagnosis of prostate cancer in Black communities
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 incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys), and healthy life expectancy (Hale) for 371 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territor…
BACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researchers, policy makers, and other professionals to im…
Global, regional, and national burden of disorders affecting the nervous system, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
BACKGROUND: Disorders affecting the nervous system are diverse and include neurodevelopmental disorders, late-life neurodegeneration, and newly emergent conditions, such as cognitive impairment following COVID-19. Previous publications from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor Study estimated the burden of 15 neurological conditions in 2015 and 2016, but these analyses did not include neurodevelopmental disorders, as defined by…
Childhood obesity and comorbidities-related perspective and experience of parents from Black and Asian minority ethnicities in England: A qualitative study
Background: Preventing childhood obesity and associated comorbidities is often hampered by disproportionate disparity in healthcare provision in minority ethnic populations. This study contextualized factors influencing childhood obesity and related comorbidity from the perspectives and experiences of parents of ethnic minority populations. Methods: = 180) from ethnic minority populations in the Northeast of England were contacted through flyers,…
For me, it is for longevity and making sure I am fit and around for my children”: Exploring motivations and barriers for weight management among minoritised communities in Medway, England
The results of this study indicate that structural and person-level factors serve as both facilitators and barriers to weight management among ethnically diverse communities in Medway, England. While our study is exploratory and opens doors for more studies among the population, we conclude that these minoritised communities could benefit from more equitable, tailored weight management programmes to support them in adopting weight-related practic…
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…
I am not really into the government telling me what I need to eat”: Exploring dietary beliefs, knowledge, and practices among ethnically diverse communities in England
The results of this study indicate that strategies to improve access to healthy foods are required to improve healthy dietary practices among the study population. Such strategies could help address this group's structural and individual barriers to healthy dietary practices. In addition, developing a culturally responsive eating guide could also enhance the acceptability and utilisation of such resources among communities with ethnic diversity i…
Parental response to a letter reporting child overweight measured as part of a routine national programme in England: Results from interviews with parents
Whilst overweight and obesity is often portrayed as a medical condition, parents/guardians see it as deeply rooted in their social lives and not in health terms. Parents believe that the causes of overeating and lack of exercise relate closely to the obesogenic environment, particularly the complex social and cultural milieu and time pressures within which this sample of people live. Associating this problem in feedback letters with dangerous dis…
