Article Abstract
Poverty is strongly associated with all-cause and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality. Less is known about the contribution of poverty to spirometrically defined chronic airflow obstruction (CAO)-a key characteristic of COPD. Using cross-sectional data from an asset-based questionnaire to define poverty in 21 sites of the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study, we estimated the risk of CAO attributable to poverty. Up to 6% of the population over 40 years had CAO attributable to poverty. Understanding the relationship between poverty and CAO might suggest ways to improve lung health, especially in low-income and middle-income countries.

Every year, more than two million girls below the age of 15 become pregnant in low- and middle-income countries, and these pregnancies are more prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, increasing maternal mortality and morbidity. Therefore, the objective of this narrative review of the literature was to present a detailed understanding of unintended adolescent pregnancies and explore the factors associated with these pregnancies, their consequences, and any gaps identified in the extant literature.

Background: Cervical cancer remains a significant public health issue in underdeveloped regions like Xinjiang, Western China, where health literacy is low and economic disparities are prominent. While previous studies have focused on preventive measures, there is limited research on the willingness to pay (WTP) for cervical cancer treatments. This study aimed to assess patient preferences and WTP from patient perspective for quality of life improvement, unadjusted life-year extension, and targeted and immunotherapy drugs among cervical cancer patients in Xinjiang.
