This paper analyses monthly data on significant changes in mean AQI and PM10 levels from 2017 to 2023 in one of teh most populous states of India, and highlights that intensified provisions may be necessary for cities predicted to fall short of meeting program targets.
This Article supports SDG 3 by assessing the associations between oral health and functional disability and mortality in older adults.
This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by showing that the rise in night-time heat due to climate change, which is particularly strong in urban areas due to the urban heat island effect, could have implications for health. The study found a significant association between night-time excess heat and risk of hospitalisation. Rapid urbanisation in low-income and middle-income countries means the numbers of people exposed to excess night-time heat will increase.
Globalization, westernization, and urbanization over the last decades, leading to changes in dietary habits as well as food production, consequently, rising non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and environmental degradation. This study attempts to identify Thailand's dietary changes, considering health and sustainability aspects, and to determine correlations between these changes and NCD cases as well as environmental impacts (GHG emissions, land-, nitrogen-, phosphorus-use).
This study demonstrates the large rooftop photovoltaic energy potential of China’s capital cities, showing that rooftop installations could also mitigate heat.
This research examines how indigenous archaeology and how the emergence of the first urban centers in the Mongolian steppe coincided with the establishment of the Uyghur Khaganate during the mid-eighth century CE.
In this study, the authors estimate the causal effect of air pollution on eye and ear health. They find that eye or ear disease possibility rises 1.48% for a 10 μg/m3 increase in four-week average PM2.5 concentration. The impacts can last about 28 weeks and will be insignificant afterward.
This Article supports SDG 3 by presenting strong evidence of negative effects of ear disease and/or hearing loss on all measured cognitive domains in a cohort of children enrolled in a randomized placebo-controlled trial of an 11-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine conducted between 2000 and 2004 in Bohol, Philippines.
This Article supports SDG 3 by demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of a multi-center multidisciplinary co-managed care model for hip fracture patients in China.
