Long-term cardiometabolic effects of ambient ozone pollution in a large Chinese population
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2023 Jun 7;261:115115. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115115. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLimited studies investigated the effects of long-term ozone exposure on cardiometabolic health. We aimed to examine the association of long-term ozone exposure with a range of cardiometabolic diseases, as well as the subclinical indicators in Eastern China. The study included 202,042 adults living in 11 prefecture-level areas in Zhejiang Province between 2014 and 2021. Using a satellite-based model with a 1 × 1 km spatial resolution, we estimated residential 5-year average ozone exposures for each subject. Mixed...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 5958: Education Level and Self-Reported Cardiovascular Disease in Norway & mdash;The Troms & oslash; Study, 1994 & ndash;2016
Conclusions: Norwegian adults with a higher education level were at lower risk of self-reported CVD. The association was present in both genders, with a lower risk observed in women than men. After accounting for lifestyle factors, there was no clear association between education level and self-reported CVD, likely due to covariates acting as mediators.

Air pollution and stroke; effect modification by sociodemographic and environmental factors. A cohort study from Denmark
CONCLUSION: The associations between air pollution and risk of stroke was stronger among individuals of lower socioeconomic status or with pre-existing comorbid conditions. Absolute risk estimates were better suited to identify such effect modification.PMID:37121155 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijheh.2023.114165

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 5483: Metaverse for Exercise Rehabilitation: Possibilities and Limitations
Conclusions: This study showed that the metaverse for exercise rehabilitation for stroke patients could be successfully developed and would be feasible to be implemented in the future. However, it would have limitations in terms of technology, safety, price, place, and expert factors to be overcome in the future.

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 1487: Eating Behaviors, Lifestyle, and Ischemic Stroke: A Lebanese Case-Control Study
Conclusions: Ischemic stroke patients were more likely to have disordered eating attitudes and orthorexic behaviors. Furthermore, the MeD has been found to be beneficial in reducing ischemic stroke risk. Despite the study’s focus, outdoor pollution, waterpipe dependence, and passive smoking were linked to ischemic stroke. In summary, this review suggests that improving one’s nutritional status and making a few lifestyle changes are key stroke prevention and treatment methods.

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 620: Medication Literacy in Chinese Patients with Stroke and Associated Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study
ifeng Zhang In China, stroke is characterized by high incidence, recurrence, disability, economic burden, and mortality. Regular and effective medication therapy can reduce stroke recurrence. High medication literacy is vital for the success of tertiary prevention measures aimed at preventing recurrence and minimizing disability. A cross-sectional survey using a medication literacy questionnaire was conducted between January and May 2022 on 307 inpatients of a Class III Grade A hospital in Hefei, Anhui Province, China. The demographic and clinical data of the patients were obtained from medical records. The health lite...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 475: The Association between Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety, Quality of Life, and Diabetic Kidney Disease among Chinese Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of, and risk factors for, depression and anxiety in Chinese DKD patients, and to analyze their impact on the renal function, proteinuria, and QOL. A total of 620 adult patients with Type 2 diabetes and DKD being treated at a tertiary hospital in East China were recruited. Depression and anxiety symptoms were assessed by the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and Anxiety Scale. Among the DKD participants, 41.3% had symptoms of depression and 45.0% had anxiety symptoms. A poor education, physical inactivity, stroke, low serum albumin, CKD stage 3–4, macroalbuminuria...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 16925: Effect of Treadmill Training with Visual Biofeedback on Selected Gait Parameters in Subacute Hemiparetic Stroke Patients
Conclusions: The treadmill with visual biofeedback as conventional gait training has resulted in a significant improvement in parameters such as step length, walking speed, static balance, and a reduction in the use of locomotion aids. However, the achieved improvement in gait parameters is still not in line with the physiological norm.

This study aimed to co-design an educational resource prototype to guide and empower female partners in supporting male stroke survivors’ participation in PA. We used a participatory action research (PAR) methodology. Thirteen support persons of male stroke survivors from Canterbury, New Zealand participated in four PAR cycles. The data were collected using individual interviews and focus groups and analyzed inductively using the general inductive approach. Three themes were reflected in the data and informed the prototype content: (1) managing an unwanted and challenging new life, (2) inconsistent access to ...
