To further understand asthma with recurrent exacerbations (ARE) and its potential influential factors, Dr. Rachel Miller and Dr. Christine Cole Johnson and colleagues leveraged the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO)’s nationwide platform with data collected across 60 cohorts. The overall incidence rate for ARE among children was 6.1 per 1000 person-years and was highest for children aged 2-4 years, self-identified Black children, children born from 2000-2009 vs. the previous or subsequent decades, and for those with a parental history of asthma. The importance of these factors suggests substantial impacts of environmental exposures that may change over time in the development of ARE.

This is the first report on genetic diversity and population structure analysis of P. polyphylla at the molecular level in Nepal.

This Health Policy paper supports SDG 3, 15, and 16 by highlighting how climate change and other human-induced environmental changes, such as loss of biodiversity and air pollution, disproportionately affect the health of minoritised people globally.

This review integrates the current evidence and potential mechanisms of gut microbiota and its metabolites in Alzheimer’s disease and comprehensively reviews the possibility of leveraging dietary interventions to prevent Alzheimer’s disease progression, with a focus on the gut–microbiota–brain connections and diet–metabolite–host interactions.
