Fine particle pollution is a well-established risk to human health. Observational epidemiology generally treats events as though they are independent of one another and so do not examine the role air pollution may play in promoting the progression of disease. Multistate survival models account for the complex pathway of disease to death. We employ a multistate survival model to characterize the role of chronic exposure to PM2.5 in affecting the rate at which Medicare beneficiaries transition to first hospitalization for cardiovascular disease and then subsequently death. We use an open cohort of Medicare beneficiaries and PM2.5 concentrations estimated with photochemical model predictions, satellite-based observations, land-use data, and meteorological variables. The multistate model included three transitions: (1) entry to cardiovascular hospital admission; (2) entry to death; and (3) cardiovascular hospital admission to death. The transition intensity was modeled using a Cox proportional hazards model. For a 1 µg/m3 increase in annual mean PM2.5, we estimate a nationally pooled hazard ratio of 1.022 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.018, 1.025) for the transition from entry to first cardiovascular hospital admission; 1.054 (95% CI = 1.039, 1.068) for the transition from entry to death; 1.036 (95% CI = 1.027, 1.044) for the transition from first cardiovascular hospital admission to death. The hazard ratios exhibited some heterogeneity within each of nine climatological regions and for each of the three transitions. We find evidence for the role of PM in both promoting chronic illness and increasing the subsequent risk of death.
细颗粒物污染对人类健康的危害已得到证实。观察流行病学通常将各种事件视为相互独立的,因此不会研究空气污染在促进疾病进展方面可能发挥的作用。多态生存模型考虑了从疾病到死亡的复杂路径。我们采用多州生存模型来描述长期暴露于 PM2.5 在影响医疗保险受益人首次因心血管疾病住院并随后死亡的速度方面所起的作用。我们使用了医疗保险受益人的开放队列以及通过光化学模型预测、卫星观测、土地使用数据和气象变量估算的 PM2.5 浓度。多州模型包括三个过渡:(1) 进入心血管病医院;(2) 进入心血管病医院至死亡;(3) 进入心血管病医院至死亡。过渡强度采用 Cox 比例危险模型进行建模。对于年均PM2.5每增加1微克/立方米,我们估计从入院到首次入住心血管病医院的全国汇总危险比为1.022(95% 置信区间 [CI] = 1.018, 1.025);从入院到死亡的危险比为1.054(95% CI = 1.039, 1.068);从首次入住心血管病医院到死亡的危险比为1.036(95% CI = 1.027, 1.044)。在九个气候区中,每个气候区的危险比以及三种转变的危险比都表现出一定的异质性。我们发现了可吸入颗粒物在促进慢性疾病和增加后续死亡风险方面发挥作用的证据。

Background: Exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) throughout gestation and childhood may impact cardiometabolic risk. Methods: In 179 HOME Study participants (Cincinnati, OH; recruited 2003–2006), we used latent profile analysis to identify two distinct patterns of PFAS exposure from serum concentrations of four PFAS measured at birth and ages 3, 8, and 12 years. We assessed the homeostatic model of insulin resistance, triglycerides-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, leptin-to-adiponectin ratio, systolic blood pressure, visceral fat, and hemoglobin A1c levels at age 12 years. We used multivariable linear regression to assess the association of membership in the longitudinal PFAS mixture exposure group with a summary measure of overall cardiometabolic risk and individual components. Results: One PFAS exposure profile (n = 66, 39%) had higher geometric means of all PFAS across all visits than the other. Although adjusted associations were null in the full sample, child sex modified the association of longitudinal PFAS mixture exposure group with overall cardiometabolic risk, leptin-to-adiponectin ratio, systolic blood pressure, and visceral fat (interaction term P values: 0.02–0.08). Females in the higher exposure group had higher cardiometabolic risk scores (ß = 0.43; 95% CI = −0.08, 0.94), systolic blood pressures (ß = 0.6; 95% CI = 0.1, 1.1), and visceral fat (ß = 0.44; 95% CI = −0.13, 1.01); males had lower cardiometabolic risk scores (ß = −0.52; 95% CI = −1.06, −0.06), leptin-to-adiponectin ratios (ß = −0.7; 95% CI = −1.29, −0.1), systolic blood pressures (ß = −0.14; 95% CI = −0.7, 0.41), and visceral fat (ß = −0.52; 95% CI = −0.84, −0.19). Conclusions: Exposure to this PFAS mixture throughout childhood may have sex-specific effects on adolescent cardiometabolic risk.
背景:妊娠期和儿童期接触全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)可能会影响心脏代谢风险。研究方法在 179 名 "HOME 研究 "参与者(俄亥俄州辛辛那提市;2003-2006 年招募)中,我们使用潜在特征分析,从出生时和 3、8、12 岁时测量的四种 PFAS 血清浓度中识别出两种不同的 PFAS 暴露模式。我们评估了胰岛素抵抗的稳态模型、甘油三酯与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇的比率、瘦素与脂联素的比率、收缩压、内脏脂肪以及 12 岁时的血红蛋白 A1c 水平。我们使用多变量线性回归法评估了纵向全氟辛烷磺酸混合物暴露组的成员资格与总体心脏代谢风险和单个成分的综合测量值之间的关联。结果一种 PFAS 暴露情况(n = 66,39%)在所有访问中的所有 PFAS 几何平均数均高于另一种情况。虽然调整后的关联在全样本中为零,但儿童性别改变了纵向 PFAS 混合暴露组与总体心脏代谢风险、瘦素与脂联素比率、收缩压和内脏脂肪的关联(交互项 P 值:0.02-0.08)。暴露程度较高组的女性具有较高的心脏代谢风险评分(ß = 0.43;95% CI = -0.08,0.94)、收缩压(ß = 0.6;95% CI = 0.1,1.1)和内脏脂肪(ß = 0.44;95% CI = -0.13,1.01);男性具有较低的心脏代谢风险评分(ß = -0.52; 95% CI = -1.06, -0.06)、瘦素与脂联素比率(ß = -0.7; 95% CI = -1.29, -0.1)、收缩压(ß = -0.14; 95% CI = -0.7, 0.41)和内脏脂肪(ß = -0.52; 95% CI = -0.84, -0.19)。结论童年时期接触这种全氟辛烷磺酸混合物可能会对青少年的心脏代谢风险产生性别特异性影响。

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disorder worldwide and a leading cause of liver-related mortality. Prior studies have linked per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure to liver dysfunction and alterations in metabolic pathways, but the extent of a PFAS-NAFLD relationship is unclear. Thus, the aim of the current study was to examine whether there were associations between PFAS exposures and NAFLD in the US adult population over a 16-year period. Methods: Data from 10,234 persons who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2003 and 2018 were analyzed. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using multivariable logistic regression for the associations between PFAS and NAFLD, defined by the Hepatic Steatosis Index (NAFLD-HSI), the Fatty Liver Index (NAFLD-FLI), and by Transient Elastography with Controlled Attenuation Parameter (NAFLD-TE-CAP). Results: Overall, there was a significant inverse association between total PFAS and NAFLD-HSI (P-trend = 0.04). Significant inverse associations were also found between perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) and NAFLD-HSI (P-trend = 0.04), and NAFLD-FLI (P-trend = 0.03). Analysis by time period, 2003–2010 versus 2011–2018, found that while inverse associations were more apparent during the latter period when total PFAS (P-trend = 0.02), PFHxS (P-trend = 0.04), and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) (P-trend = 0.03) were inversely associated with NAFLD-HSI and PFOA was inversely associated with NAFLD-FLI (P-trend = 0.05), there were no significant interaction effects. No significant associations between the PFAS and NAFLD-TE-CAP were found. Conclusions: The current study found no evidence of a positive association between the most common PFAS and NAFLD in the US population.
背景:非酒精性脂肪肝(NAFLD非酒精性脂肪肝(NAFLD)是全球最常见的肝脏疾病,也是肝脏相关死亡的主要原因。先前的研究已将接触全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)与肝功能异常和代谢途径的改变联系起来,但 PFAS 与非酒精性脂肪肝的关系程度尚不清楚。因此,本研究的目的是检测美国成年人在 16 年间接触的 PFAS 与非酒精性脂肪肝之间是否存在关联。研究方法:对 2003 年至 2018 年期间参加全国健康与营养调查的 10234 人的数据进行了分析。采用多变量逻辑回归法计算了PFAS与非酒精性脂肪肝之间的相关性的患病率和95%置信区间,非酒精性脂肪肝的定义包括肝脏脂肪变性指数(NAFLD-HSI)、脂肪肝指数(NAFLD-FLI)和瞬态弹性成像与控制衰减参数(NAFLD-TE-CAP)。结果显示总体而言,PFAS 总量与 NAFLD-HSI 之间存在明显的反向关系(P-趋势 = 0.04)。全氟己烷磺酸(PFHxS)与非酒精性脂肪肝-HSI(P-trend = 0.04)和非酒精性脂肪肝-FLI(P-trend = 0.03)之间也存在明显的反比关系。按时间段(2003-2010年与2011-2018年)分析发现,虽然在后一时期,PFAS总量(P-trend = 0.02)、PFHxS(P-trend = 0.04)和全氟辛酸(PFOA)(P-trend = 0.03)与非酒精性脂肪肝-HSI呈反向关系,PFOA与非酒精性脂肪肝-FLI呈反向关系(P-trend = 0.05),但两者之间没有显著的交互作用。PFAS与NAFLD-TE-CAP之间未发现明显关联。结论:本研究没有发现证据表明美国人群中最常见的 PFAS 与非酒精性脂肪肝之间存在正相关关系。

Background: Early-life exposure to nonessential (toxic) and essential trace elements can influence child development. Although infant formula powders and the water used to reconstitute them can contain higher concentrations of many elements compared with human milk, the influence of feeding mode on reliable biomarkers of infant exposure has rarely been demonstrated. Methods: We evaluated associations between urinary biomarkers and feeding mode (exclusively human milk, exclusively formula, or combination-fed) for four toxic (arsenic, cadmium, nickel, and uranium) and three essential elements (cobalt, molybdenum, and selenium) using general linear models. Results: A total of 462 participants from the rural New Hampshire Birth Cohort Study were on average 6 weeks old between July 2012 and March 2019 and had urine samples, 3-day food diaries, and relevant covariate data available. In adjusted models, urinary arsenic was 5.15 (95% confidence interval = 4.04, 6.58), molybdenum was 19.02 (14.13–25.59), and selenium was 1.51 (1.35–1.68) times higher in infants fed exclusively with formula compared with infants fed exclusively with human milk. By contrast, urinary uranium was 0.59 (0.46–0.75) and cobalt was 0.78 (0.65–0.95) times lower with formula feeding than human milk feeding. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that infant exposure to several potentially toxic elements varies by feeding mode, as concentrations of reliable urinary biomarkers were higher with formula or human milk, depending on the element. Importantly, exposure to arsenic increased with household tap water arsenic regardless of feeding mode, suggesting that all infants could be at risk in populations with high concentrations of arsenic in drinking water.
背景:生命早期接触非必需(有毒)和必需微量元素会影响儿童的发育。尽管与母乳相比,婴儿配方粉和用于重组配方粉的水可能含有更高浓度的多种元素,但喂养模式对婴儿暴露的可靠生物标志物的影响却很少得到证实。研究方法我们使用一般线性模型评估了四种有毒元素(砷、镉、镍和铀)和三种必需元素(钴、钼和硒)的尿液生物标志物与喂养方式(完全母乳喂养、完全配方粉喂养或混合喂养)之间的关系。研究结果新罕布什尔州农村出生队列研究共有 462 名参与者,他们在 2012 年 7 月至 2019 年 3 月期间出生,平均年龄为 6 周岁,有尿液样本、3 天食物日记和相关协变量数据。在调整后的模型中,与纯母乳喂养的婴儿相比,纯配方奶喂养的婴儿尿砷含量高出 5.15(95% 置信区间 = 4.04,6.58)倍,钼含量高出 19.02(14.13-25.59)倍,硒含量高出 1.51(1.35-1.68)倍。相比之下,配方奶喂养的婴儿尿中铀的含量为 0.59(0.46-0.75)倍,钴的含量为 0.78(0.65-0.95)倍。结论我们的研究结果表明,婴儿暴露于几种潜在有毒元素的情况因喂养方式而异,因为可靠的尿液生物标志物的浓度因元素而异,配方奶或人奶的浓度更高。重要的是,无论采用哪种喂养方式,砷的暴露量都会随着家庭自来水砷含量的增加而增加,这表明在饮用水中砷浓度较高的人群中,所有婴儿都可能面临风险。

Introduction: Neurotoxicity resulting from air pollution is of increasing concern. Considering exposure timing effects on neurodevelopmental impairments may be as important as the exposure dose. We used distributed lag regression to determine the sensitive windows of prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on children’s cognition in a birth cohort in Mexico. Methods: Analysis included 553 full-term (≥37 weeks gestation) children. Prenatal daily PM2.5 exposure was estimated using a validated satellite-based spatiotemporal model. McCarthy Scales of Children’s Abilities (MSCA) were used to assess children’s cognitive function at 4–5 years old (lower scores indicate poorer performance). To identify susceptibility windows, we used Bayesian distributed lag interaction models to examine associations between prenatal PM2.5 levels and MSCA. This allowed us to estimate vulnerable windows while testing for effect modification. Results: After adjusting for maternal age, socioeconomic status, child age, and sex, Bayesian distributed lag interaction models showed significant associations between increased PM2.5 levels and decreased general cognitive index scores at 31–35 gestation weeks, decreased quantitative scale scores at 30–36 weeks, decreased motor scale scores at 30–36 weeks, and decreased verbal scale scores at 37–38 weeks. Estimated cumulative effects (CE) of PM2.5 across pregnancy showed significant associations with general cognitive index (CE^ = −0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] = −0.68, −0.01), quantitative scale (CE^ = −0.27, 95% CI = −0.74, −0.02), motor scale (CE^ = −0.25, 95% CI = −0.44, −0.05), and verbal scale (CE^ = −0.2, 95% CI = −0.43, −0.02). No significant sex interactions were observed. Conclusions: Prenatal exposure to PM2.5, particularly late pregnancy, was inversely associated with subscales of MSCA. Using data-driven methods to identify sensitive window may provide insight into the mechanisms of neurodevelopmental impairment due to pollution.
导言:空气污染导致的神经毒性日益受到关注。考虑暴露时间对神经发育障碍的影响可能与暴露剂量同样重要。我们使用分布式滞后回归法确定了墨西哥出生队列中产前暴露于细颗粒物(PM2.5)对儿童认知的敏感窗口。研究方法分析对象包括 553 名足月儿(妊娠期≥37 周)。产前每日PM2.5暴露量是通过一个经过验证的卫星时空模型估算出来的。麦卡锡儿童能力量表(MSCA)用于评估儿童在4-5岁时的认知功能(分数越低表示表现越差)。为了确定易感窗口,我们使用贝叶斯分布式滞后交互模型来检验产前 PM2.5 水平与 MSCA 之间的关联。这使我们能够估计易感窗口,同时测试效应修正。结果在对母亲年龄、社会经济地位、儿童年龄和性别进行调整后,贝叶斯分布式滞后交互模型显示,PM2.5水平升高与妊娠31-35周时一般认知指数评分下降、30-36周时定量量表评分下降、30-36周时运动量表评分下降和37-38周时言语量表评分下降之间存在显著关联。整个孕期PM2.5的估计累积效应(CE)显示与一般认知指数(CE^ = -0.35,95%置信区间[CI] = -0.68,-0.01)、定量表(CE^ = -0.27,95% CI = -0.74,-0.02)、运动量表(CE^ = -0.25,95% CI = -0.44,-0.05)和言语量表(CE^ = -0.2,95% CI = -0.43,-0.02)有显著关联。没有观察到明显的性别交互作用。结论产前暴露于PM2.5,尤其是孕晚期,与MSCA的分量表呈反比关系。使用数据驱动的方法来确定敏感窗口可能有助于深入了解污染导致神经发育障碍的机制。

Considering exposure timing effects on neurodevelopmental impairments may be as important as the exposure dose. We used distributed lag regression to determine the sensitive windows of prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on children’s cognition in a birth cohort in Mexico. Methods: Analysis included 553 full-term (≥37 weeks gestation) children. Prenatal daily PM2.5 exposure was estimated using a validated satellite-based spatiotemporal model. McCarthy Scales of Children’s Abilities (MSCA) were used to assess children’s cognitive function at 4–5 years old (lower scores indicate poorer performance). To identify susceptibility windows, we used Bayesian distributed lag interaction models to examine associations between prenatal PM2.5 levels and MSCA. This allowed us to estimate vulnerable windows while testing for effect modification. Results: After adjusting for maternal age, socioeconomic status, child age, and sex, Bayesian distributed lag interaction models showed significant associations between increased PM2.5 levels and decreased general cognitive index scores at 31–35 gestation weeks, decreased quantitative scale scores at 30–36 weeks, decreased motor scale scores at 30–36 weeks, and decreased verbal scale scores at 37–38 weeks.

Background: Children in agricultural areas are exposed to organophosphate (OP) and pyrethroid (PYR) insecticides. This explorative study investigated child exposure to OPs and PYRs, comparing temporal and spatial exposure variability within and among urine, wristbands, and dust samples. Methods: During spraying season 2018, 38 South African children in two agricultural areas (Grabouw/Hex River Valley) and settings (farm/village) participated in a seven-day study. Child urine and household dust samples were collected on days 1 and 7. Children and their guardians were wearing silicone wristbands for seven days. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) evaluated temporal agreements between repeated urine and dust samples, Spearman rank correlations (Rs) evaluated the correlations among matrices, and linear mixed-effect models investigated spatial exposure predictors. A risk assessment was performed using reverse dosimetry. Results: Eighteen OPs/PYRs were targeted in urine, wristbands, and dust. Levels of chlorpyrifos in dust (ICC = 0.92) and diethylphosphate biomarker in urine (ICC = 0.42) showed strong and moderate temporal agreement between day 1 and day 7, respectively. Weak agreements were observed for all others. There was mostly a weak correlation among the three matrices (Rs = −0.12 to 0.35), except for chlorpyrifos in dust and its biomarker 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol in urine (Rs = 0.44). No differences in exposure levels between living locations were observed. However, 21% of the urine biomarker levels exceeded the health-risk threshold for OP exposure. Conclusions: Observed high short-term variability in exposure levels during spraying season highlights the need for repeated sampling. The weak correlation between the exposure matrices points to different environmental and behavioral exposure pathways. Exceeding risk thresholds for OP should be further investigated.
背景:农业区的儿童会接触到有机磷(OP)和拟除虫菊酯(PYR)杀虫剂。这项探索性研究调查了儿童接触有机磷和拟除虫菊酯的情况,比较了尿液、腕带和灰尘样本内部和之间的时空接触变异性。研究方法在 2018 年喷洒季节,两个农业区(Grabouw/Hex River Valley)和环境(农场/村庄)的 38 名南非儿童参加了为期七天的研究。第 1 天和第 7 天收集了儿童尿液和家庭灰尘样本。儿童及其监护人佩戴硅胶腕带七天。类内相关系数(ICC)评估了重复尿样和灰尘样本之间的时间一致性,斯皮尔曼秩相关系数(Rs)评估了矩阵之间的相关性,线性混合效应模型研究了空间暴露预测因子。采用反向剂量测定法进行了风险评估。结果:在尿液、腕带和灰尘中发现了 18 种 OPs/PYRs 目标物质。灰尘中毒死蜱的水平(ICC = 0.92)和尿液中磷酸二乙酯生物标记物的水平(ICC = 0.42)在第 1 天和第 7 天之间分别显示出较强和中等程度的时间一致性。所有其他指标的一致性较弱。除灰尘中的毒死蜱和尿液中的生物标记物 3,5,6-三氯-2-吡啶醇(Rs = 0.44)外,其他三种基质之间的相关性大多较弱(Rs = -0.12 至 0.35)。不同生活地点之间的接触水平没有差异。然而,21%的尿液生物标志物水平超过了暴露于 OP 的健康风险阈值。结论在喷洒季节观察到的暴露水平短期内变化很大,这凸显了重复采样的必要性。暴露矩阵之间的相关性很弱,这表明环境和行为暴露途径各不相同。应进一步调查超过 OP 风险阈值的情况。

Background: Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure has been linked to anxiety and depression in adults; however, there is limited research in the younger populations, in which symptoms often first arise. Methods: We examined the association between early-life PM2.5 exposure and symptoms of anxiety and depression in a cohort of 8–11-year-olds in Mexico City. Anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed using the Spanish versions of the Revised Children’s Manifest Anxiety Scale and Children’s Depression Inventory. Daily PM2.5 was estimated using a satellite-based exposure model and averaged over several early and recent exposure windows. Linear and logistic regression models were used to estimate the change in symptoms with each 5-µg/m3 increase in PM2.5. Models were adjusted for child’s age, child’s sex, maternal age, maternal socioeconomic status, season of conception, and temperature. Results: Average anxiety and depressive symptom T-scores were 51.0 (range 33–73) and 53.4 (range 44–90), respectively. We observed consistent findings for exposures around the fourth year of life, as this was present for both continuous and dichotomized anxiety symptoms, in both independent exposure models and distributed lag modeling approaches. This window was also observed for elevated depressive symptoms. An additional consistent finding was for PM2.5 exposure during early pregnancy in relation to both clinically elevated anxiety and depressive symptoms, this was seen in both traditional and distributed lag modeling approaches. Conclusion: Both early life and recent PM2.5 exposure were associated with higher mental health symptoms in the child highlighting the role of PM2.5 in the etiology of these conditions.
背景:细颗粒物(PM2.5)暴露与成年人的焦虑症和抑郁症有关;然而,针对年轻人的研究却很有限,而症状往往是在年轻人中最先出现的。研究方法我们研究了墨西哥城一组 8-11 岁儿童早期 PM2.5 暴露与焦虑和抑郁症状之间的关系。焦虑和抑郁症状采用西班牙语版的修订版儿童焦虑量表和儿童抑郁量表进行评估。使用基于卫星的暴露模型估算了每天的 PM2.5,并对几个早期和近期的暴露窗口进行了平均。采用线性和逻辑回归模型来估计 PM2.5 每增加 5µg/m3 时症状的变化。模型根据儿童年龄、儿童性别、母亲年龄、母亲社会经济地位、受孕季节和气温进行了调整。研究结果焦虑和抑郁症状 T score 平均值分别为 51.0(范围为 33-73)和 53.4(范围为 44-90)。在独立暴露模型和分布式滞后模型中,我们观察到出生后第四年左右的暴露结果是一致的,因为连续焦虑症状和二分焦虑症状都存在这种情况。在抑郁症状升高方面也观察到了这一窗口期。另一个一致的发现是,怀孕早期的 PM2.5 暴露与临床焦虑和抑郁症状的升高有关,这在传统和分布式滞后建模方法中都可以看到。结论早期和近期的PM2.5暴露都与儿童较高的心理健康症状有关,这凸显了PM2.5在这些症状的病因中的作用。

Background: In the past decade, electrical power disruptions (outages) have increased in the United States, especially those attributable to weather events. These outages have a range of health impacts but are largely unstudied in children. Here, we investigated the association between outages and unintentional injury hospitalizations, a leading cause of childhood morbidity. Methods: The study setting was New York State (NYS) from 2017 to 2020. Outage exposure was defined as ≥10%, ≥20%, and ≥50% of customers from a power operating locality without power, ascertained from NYS Department of Public Service records and stratified by rural, urban non-New York City (NYC), and NYC regions. Outcome daily block group-level pediatric injury hospitalization data was from the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS). We leveraged a case-crossover study design with logistic conditional regression. Results: We identified 23,093 unintentional injury hospitalizations in children <18 years with complete block group and exposure data. Most hospitalizations occurred in urban regions (90%), whereas outages were more likely in rural than urban areas. In urban non-NYC regions, outages ≥4 hours were associated with 30% increased odds of all-cause unintentional injury hospitalizations when ≥50% of customers were without power. Analyses by injury subtype revealed increasing point estimates as the proportion of customers exposed increased. These results, however, had wide confidence intervals. Conclusions: Outage exposure differed significantly across rural, urban non-NYC, and NYC regions across New York. Especially at the highest outage threshold, we observed an increased risk of pediatric unintentional injury hospitalizations.
背景:在过去的十年中,美国的电力中断(停电)事件有所增加,尤其是由于天气事件造成的停电。这些停电事件对健康产生了一系列影响,但对儿童的影响大多未作研究。在此,我们调查了停电与意外伤害住院之间的关系,意外伤害是儿童发病率的主要原因。研究方法研究地点为纽约州(NYS),时间为 2017 年至 2020 年。根据纽约州公共服务部的记录,并按照农村、城市非纽约市(NYC)和纽约市地区进行分层,将停电暴露定义为电力运营地区≥10%、≥20%和≥50%的用户停电。结果每日街区组级儿科伤害住院数据来自全州规划与研究合作系统 (SPARCS)。我们采用了病例交叉研究设计和逻辑条件回归。研究结果我们确定了 23,093 例小于 18 岁的儿童意外伤害住院病例,并提供了完整的街区组和暴露数据。大多数住院治疗发生在城市地区(90%),而农村地区比城市地区更容易发生停电。在非纽约市的城市地区,停电时间≥4 小时时,当≥50% 的用户停电时,全因意外伤害住院几率增加 30%。按伤害亚型进行的分析表明,随着受影响用户比例的增加,点估计值也在增加。但是,这些结果的置信区间较宽。结论:在纽约的农村地区、非纽约市的城市地区和纽约市地区,停电风险有很大差异。特别是在停电阈值最高时,我们观察到儿科意外伤害住院风险增加。

Background: Here, we investigate the association between outdoor temperature and fatal police shootings in the United States between 2015 and 2021. Methods: We conducted a time-stratified case-crossover study. Data on fatal police shootings were from the Washington Post’s Fatal Force database and temperature data were from Daymet. Results: A 5°C increase in maximum same-day temperature was associated with a 1.033 (95% CI = 1.002, 1.065) increased odds of a fatal police shooting. In stratified analyses, the strongest associations were observed in victims who were armed (OR, 1.052 [95% CI = 1.017, 1.088), White (OR, 1.052 [95% CI = 1.006, 1.100), or aged 45+ (OR, 1.110 [95% CI = 1.044, 1.181]). In additional subgroup analyses, relative risks were also generally higher among those who were armed. Conclusions: There is evidence of an association between outdoor temperature and fatal police shootings in the United States, particularly when the victims were reported as armed. This study cannot determine if the associations are a result of any specific causes (e.g., increased police aggression or other factors).
背景:在这里,我们调查了2015年至2021年间美国室外温度与致命警察枪击事件之间的关系。方法:采用时间分层病例交叉研究。警方致命枪击事件的数据来自《华盛顿邮报》的致命力量数据库,气温数据来自Daymet。结果:当天最高气温每升高5°C,发生警察致命枪击的几率增加1.033 (95% CI = 1.002, 1.065)。在分层分析中,在武装人员(OR, 1.052 [95% CI = 1.017, 1.088])、白人(OR, 1.052 [95% CI = 1.006, 1.100])和45岁以上(OR, 1.110 [95% CI = 1.044, 1.181])的受害者中观察到最强的相关性。在其他亚组分析中,武装人员的相对风险也普遍较高。结论:有证据表明,在美国,室外温度与致命的警察枪击事件之间存在关联,特别是当受害者被报道为持有武器时。这项研究无法确定这种关联是否由任何特定原因(例如,警察的攻击性增加或其他因素)造成。

Background: Recent evidence suggests environmental health inequalities both within and between European countries and socially deprived groups may be more susceptible to pollution. However, evidence is still inconclusive and additional studies are warranted. This study aims to investigate sociodemographic inequalities in long-term residential exposure to air pollution, road traffic noise, and greenness, taking lifestyle and degree of urbanization into account. Methods: In total 20,407 women, born 1914–48 residing in Uppsala County, Sweden, were followed between 1997 and 2017. Time-varying sociodemographic variables were obtained from registers, and questionnaires provided lifestyle information. Generalized estimating equations were used to compute beta-coefficients (β) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for associations between sociodemographic and lifestyle variables and spatial-temporal modeled particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), road traffic noise and greenness. All models were additionally stratified by urbanization type. Results: Urban area residency was the most important predictor of high exposure to air pollution and noise, and to low greenness. For instance, β for NO2 was −2.92 (95% CI = −3.00, −2.83) and −3.10 (95% CI = −3.18, −3.01) µg/m3 in suburban and rural areas, respectively, compared with urban areas. For greenness, the opposite held true with corresponding β of 0.059 (95% CI = 0.056, 0.062) and 0.095 (95% CI = 0.092, 0.098). Within urban areas, elderly, unmarried and well-educated women had the highest environmental burden. However, less pronounced, and even reversed associations were found in suburban and rural areas. Conclusion: This study provides evidence of a mixed pattern of environmental health inequalities across sociodemographic groups in urban areas.
背景:最近的证据表明,欧洲国家内部和国家之间以及社会贫困群体之间的环境卫生不平等可能更容易受到污染的影响。然而,证据仍然不确定,需要进一步的研究。本研究的目的是在考虑生活方式和城市化程度的情况下,调查长期居住暴露于空气污染、道路交通噪音和绿化方面的社会人口不平等。方法:在1997年至2017年期间,共有20,407名女性,出生于1914 - 1948年,居住在瑞典乌普萨拉县。随时间变化的社会人口变量从登记册中获得,调查问卷提供生活方式信息。使用广义估计方程计算社会人口学和生活方式变量与时空模拟颗粒物(PM2.5、PM10)、二氧化氮(NO2)、道路交通噪声和绿化之间的关联的β系数(β)和95%置信区间(95% CI)。所有模型均按城市化类型进行分层。结果:城区居住是空气污染和噪声高暴露和绿化低的最重要预测因子。例如,与城市地区相比,郊区和农村地区NO2的β分别为- 2.92 (95% CI = - 3.00, - 2.83)和- 3.10 (95% CI = - 3.18, - 3.01)µg/m3。对于绿色,相反的情况是正确的,相应的β为0.059 (95% CI = 0.056, 0.062)和0.095 (95% CI = 0.092, 0.098)。在城市地区,老年、未婚和受过良好教育的妇女的环境负担最重。然而,在郊区和农村地区发现的关联不那么明显,甚至是相反的。结论:本研究提供了城市地区不同社会人口群体环境卫生不平等混合模式的证据。
