The checkmark association between gamma glutamyl-transpeptidase and body mass index in a large Chinese population
CONCLUSIONS: Our investigation demonstrated that the GGT level in obese Chinese people is significantly higher than that in non-obese people living in Wuhu City. BMI level can be considered as an early warning index for diseases related to liver function injury in the clinic, although the influence of gender difference should be specifically considered.PMID:38583192 (Source: Neuroendocrinology Letters)

Confusing cause and effect in public health policy
Neuro Endocrinol Lett. 2024 Apr 7;45(2). Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhen studying the literature on current public health policy challenges, a number of rankings can be found, created from data collected and processed by different methods and from different sources, ordering the challenges by their significance. Inevitably, in global studies, there are errors caused by averaging data across populations that differ significantly in population size and the causes of the decline in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), potentially in combination with years of life lost (YLL) and years of life lived with disability (YLD),...
