Association of urban green and blue space with accelerated ageing: A cohort Study in the UK Biobank by YiNi Wang, XinYu Shi, Fei Yang, ShengYuan Wang, TianShu Han, Kun Ma

“…Results: After controlling for random effects and various types of covariates, we found that 1) populations with higher levels of UGBS exposure are associated with accelerated ageing and slowing down; 2) UGBS has the greatest impact on accelerated ageing within a 1000-m street network buffer distance; 3) Participants living in heavily polluted areas should pay more attention to UGBS; 4) Intermediary analysis found that UGBS mainly accelerates aging by reducing harm, rather than affecting the population's ability to recover and build. …”

Associations of Long-term PM10 Exposure with Mortality in Dialysis Patients: A Population Based Cohort Study by Shih-Feng Chen, Yu-Hui Chien, Yu-Chin Lai, Pau-Chung Chen

“…Spline analysis demonstrated a non-linear concentration-response relationship between PM10 and mortality, with an increase in aHR when the average PM10 exposure exceeded a threshold of 43 µg m−3. Stratification analysis revealed that male patients had a significantly higher increase in mortality risk per IQR increase in PM10 compared to female patients (aHR 1.185 vs. 1.074; p-interaction < 0.001). …”
