The average community exposure to ambient air pollutants (PM with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm or less (PM10), 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5), 1 μm or less (PM1) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)) for each participant was estimated using a satellite-based spatial statistical model. Haemoglobin levels were measured for participants from dried blood spots. The models were controlled for confounders. Results: All the studied pollutants were significantly associated with increased anaemia prevalence in single pollutant model (e.g., the prevalence ratios associated with an increase in inter quartile range in three years moving average PM10 (1.05; 95% CI: 1.02–1.09), PM2.5 (1.11; 95% CI: 1.06–1.16), PM1 (1.13; 95% CI: 1.06–1.20) and NO2(1.42; 95% CI: 1.34–1.49), respectively. These air pollutants were also associated with lower concentrations of haemoglobin: PM10 (−0.53; 95% CI: −0.67, −0.38); PM2.5 (−0.52; 95% CI: −0.71, −0.33); PM1 (−0.55; 95% CI: −0.69, −0.41); NO2 (−1.71; 95% CI: −1.85, −1.57) respectively. Conclusions: Air pollution exposure was significantly associated with increased prevalence of anaemia and decreased haemoglobin levels in a cohort of older Chinese adults.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:02:14 AEDT ]]> Universal health coverage in emerging economies: findings on health care utilization by older adults in China, Ghana, India, Mexico, the Russian Federation, and South Africa https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18662 Mon 20 Jul 2015 17:06:21 AEST ]]> Timing of most recent health care visit by older people living with and without HIV: findings from the SAGE well-being of older people study in Uganda https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34289 6 months) include age, OR = 2.40 [95% CI 1.08-5.37] for those aged 80 years and above, urban respondents, OR = 0.6 [95%CI 0.38-0.94], HIV-positive respondents, OR = 0.33 [95%CI 0.18-0.59], and better health.
