Plasma Metal Concentrations and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Chinese Adults: The Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort
Conclusions: Our study suggested that incident CHD was positively associated with plasma levels of titanium and arsenic, and inversely associated with selenium. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings in other populations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1521 Received: 22 December 2016 Revised: 17 September 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Published: 19 October 2017 Address correspondence to T.

The Association of Arsenic Metabolism with Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, and Diabetes: A Systematic Review of the Epidemiological Evidence
Conclusions: Population level of iAs% and DMA%, but not MMA%, were associated with arsenic exposure levels. Overall, study findings suggest that higher MMA% was associated with an increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, while lower MMA% was associated with an increased risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Additional population-based studies and experimental studies are needed to further evaluate and understand the role of arsenic exposure in arsenic metabolism and the role of arsenic metabolism in disease development. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP577 Received: 01 June 2016 Revised: 26 February 2017 Acce...

Changes in caregiver burden among informal caregivers of stroke patients in Mongolia.
This study aimed to define the changes in CGB in the first year of caregiving among the caregivers of stroke patients and to identify associated factors. METHODS: A prospective, multi-centered observational study was conducted in nine public hospitals in Mongolia. We used the Montgomery CGB Scale for assessing CGB, and repeated the assessment after 1 year. Stroke patient characteristics were included in the analyses. Multinomial logistic regressions were conducted to analyze changes in CGB. RESULTS: A paired t-test analysis revealed that demand burden increased (from 12.61 to 11.50, p = 0.034), whereas stress ...

Blood pressure components and stroke in Inner Mongolians — A prospective cohort study
Stroke is the leading cause of disability and the second-leading cause of death in the world [1]. It is becoming an ever-increasing public health burden in China [2]. There is a strong association between both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and stroke, but even in cases of normal BP stroke can still occur [3]. This indicates that other risk factors and BP components other than SBP or DBP may play a role in the development of stroke. In addition to SBP and DBP, BP is also characterized by pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP).
