Indigenous peoples in Canada are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease and current research suggests that gaps most prominently present as delays in receiving care and as poorer long-term outcomes.
This Comment supports SDG 3 by highlighting the environmental and endocrine healths harms from plastics and the need to reduce production and use of plastics. It describes the launch of negotiations to produce a global treaty aimed at achieving this goal.
An Article in support of SDG 3, assessing whether community mobilisation increases HIV testing, linkage to care, and retention in care over time in intervention relative to control communities.
The aim of this review was to synthesize evidence around the nexus between climate and health in the Caribbean, thereby presenting a more concise understanding of the current impact on vulnerable low-lying and coastal communities.
This Article supports SDGs 3 and 6 by demonstrating the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a typhoid conjugate vaccine in Malawian children aged 9 months to 12 years; this paper is relevant to World Water Day since S Typhi is transmitted by the faecal-oral route through ingestion of contaminated food and water, often resulting from inadequate hygiene and sanitation.
The study suggests that exposure to PFAS may disrupt energy balance and body composition in adolescents, underscoring the importance of further research to confirm the association and mitigate potential health impacts, thus contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being).
The study underscores the significance of indoor PM2.5-10 pollution from coal combustion as an environmental risk factor for the prognosis of COPD patients, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention and control strategies during the heating season to protect cardiopulmonary health and promote progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being).
The research supports Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) by identifying factors affecting public health, such as indoor airflow patterns and outdoor temperatures, and providing recommendations for epidemic prevention and control measures.
Children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN) are particularly susceptible to extreme weather events. The aim of this study is to contribute to the limited body of literature related to the climate crisis and CSHCN, and to summarize possible ways to improve the disaster preparedness of families of CSHCN.
This scoping review assesses the state of peer-reviewed literature on the health risks associated with climate change in the 21 Pacific Island states, analyzing quantitative and qualitative studies focusing explicitly on health outcomes, as well as studies focusing on health determinants or potential mediators along the climate-health pathway.
