Effectiveness of socioecological model-guided, smart device-based, and self-management-oriented lifestyle (3SLIFE) intervention on healthy lifestyles and metabolic syndrome risk in community residents: a cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) lifestyle interventions have showed promise in improving healthy lifestyles and reducing metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk, yet most studies adopt isolated frameworks. The 3SLIFE model-integrating the socioecological model, smart devices, and self-management strategies-provides a holistic approach to sustained behavioral change. It considers environmental influences, empowers individuals in goal-setting and engagement, and leverages smart devices for monitoring and feedback.

Long-term exposure to PM chemical constituents and diabesity: evidence from a multi-center cohort study in China.

Background: Long-term exposure to PM is known to increase the risks for diabetes and obesity, but its effects on their coexistence, termed diabesity, remain uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the associations of long-term exposure to PM and its chemical constituents with the risks for diabesity, diabetes, and obesity.

Methods: This cross-sectional study used the baseline data of a multi-center cohort, consisting of three provincially representative cohorts comprising a total of 134,403 participants from the eastern (Fujian Province), central (Hubei Province), and western (Yunnan Province) regions of China.

Associations between residential greenness and obesity phenotypes among adults in Southwest China.

Background: Although exposure to greenness has generally benefited human metabolic health, the association between greenness exposure and metabolic obesity remains poorly studied. We aimed to investigate the associations between residential greenness and obesity phenotypes and the mediation effects of air pollutants and physical activity (PA) level on the associations.

Methods: We used the baseline of the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) study, which enrolled 87,613 adults.

Effectiveness of a socioecological model-guided, smart device-based, self-management-oriented lifestyle intervention in community residents: protocol for a cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Background: Healthy lifestyles are crucial for preventing chronic diseases. Nonetheless, approximately 90% of Chinese community residents regularly engage in at least one unhealthy lifestyle. Mobile smart devices-based health interventions (mHealth) that incorporate theoretical frameworks regarding behavioral change in interaction with the environment may provide an appealing and cost-effective approach for promoting sustainable adaptations of healthier lifestyles.

Long-term effects of PM constituents on metabolic syndrome and mediation effects of serum uric acid.

Exposure to particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM) was associated with the risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the general population, but the contributions of individual PM constituents to this association and the potential pathway between PM constituents and MetS risk are not well elaborated. This study aimed to investigate associations between PM constituents and MetS in general populations, relative importance of PM constituents to and mediation effects of serum uric acid (SUA) on those associations.

Associations between long-term exposure to PM chemical constituents and allergic diseases: evidence from a large cohort study in China.

Background: Exposure to air pollutants may cause immune responses and further allergic diseases, but existing studies have mostly, if not all, focused on effects of short-term exposure to PM on allergic diseases.

Objectives: We estimated associations of long-term exposure to PM chemical constituents with allergic disease risks and effect modification.

Methods: We used the baseline of a newly established, provincially representative cohort of 51,480 participants in southwest China.
