Association of heating fuel types with mortality and cardiovascular events among non-smokers in China

Xue Cao et al.

Summary: The study found that solid fuel heating is associated with an increased risk of stroke and all-cause mortality in non-smoking Chinese individuals. Switching to cleaner energy sources for heating may be important for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality.

All-Cause Mortality Risk and Attributable Deaths Associated with Long-Term Exposure to Ambient PM2.5 in Chinese Adults

Yunquan Zhang

Summary: This study in China found that long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality in adults. In 2015, an estimated total of 2.68 million deaths were attributed to ambient PM2.5, showing a significant decrease compared to the estimate in 2010.

Urban blue spaces and human health: A systematic review and meta-analysis of quantitative studies

Niamh Smith et al.

Summary: This study provides a quantitative synthesis of the health impacts of urban blue spaces, showing a beneficial association with obesity, all-cause mortality, general health, and self-reported mental health and wellbeing. Despite small effect sizes, the evidence is statistically significant with good quality. However, more research is needed to fully understand and utilize the benefits of urban blue spaces for public health.

Long-term temperature variability and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases: A large, representative cohort study in China

Yuting Kang et al.

Summary: The study found a positive association between long-term temperature variability and the incidence of cardiovascular disease, with a 6% increase in risk for every 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature variability. As temperature variability levels increased, so did the risk of cardiovascular disease.

A 6-year-long (2013-2018) high-resolution air quality reanalysis dataset in China based on the assimilation of surface observations from CNEMC

Lei Kong et al.

Summary: The study presents a 6-year-long high-resolution Chinese air quality reanalysis dataset that contains surface fields of six conventional air pollutants in China from 2013 to 2018. The dataset, obtained through assimilation of surface observations, exhibits excellent performance in reproducing the magnitude and variability of surface air pollutants.
