People with any disabilities accounted for a quarter of total deaths. People with disabilities had higher average ages and poor economic conditions. All disability types presented higher mortality rates and lower life expectancy. The major causes of death differed according to the type of disability.
This Study supports SDG 5 and 3 by examining the role of improved women's agency on the pathway from the intervention to nutritional impacts.
Increasing road traffic in China means roadkill is a large and growing problem there. This paper analyses patterns in order to support mitigation measures.
This study reveals that climate change reduces the variety of wetland ecosystem services and increases socio-economic vulnerability and economic stress.
Climate change and economic growth are responsible for increased water stress.This study provides a baseline understanding of the interplay among water, climate change, and socio-economic development in NSTM.
With the aging global population, the relationship between older people and their residential environments is increasingly important. This relationship is based on the match between the individual characteristics of a person, their needs and expectations, and the characteristics of their environment. By creating access to various health improvement factors and exposure to various risk factors, the conditions under which an individual ages can be modified. This helps to accelerate or decelerate the process of incapacitation that individuals undergo as they age. This can also reduce or reinforce socio-spatial inequalities, which underlie the preponderant role of territory and spatial policies in the prevention and promotion of healthy aging. This chapters supports the process for developing the Decade of Healthy Ageing (2020 – 2030) aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG3).
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).
An estimated 50 million people around the world currently live with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, dementia being a collective term for progressive syndromes that affect various expressions of cognitive function, such as memory and emotional expression. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for the majority of cases (50 to 70%, varying by country, based on Alzheimer’s Disease International and World Health Organization figures).
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.
