Global, regional, and national burden of low back pain, 1990-2020, its attributable risk factors, and projections to 2050: a systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.
The Lancet. Rheumatology2023200 influential citationsSummary Background Low back pain is highly prevalent and the main cause of years lived with disability (YLDs). We present the most up-to-date global, regional, and national data on prevalence and YLDs for low back pain from the Global…
Abdominal obesity and digestive system cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies.
BMC Public Health2023n=43Meta-Analysis28 influential citationsBackground The diagnostic criteria for abdominal obesity are usually waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio. The magnitude of the risks for cancers of the digestive system and abdominal obesity is unknown. To assess whether abdominal…
Finding: Greater waist circumference was associated with increased incidence of digestive system cancers in this meta-analysis.
Inflammaging and the role of micronutrients as immunomodulators: a pathway to healthy aging.
Immunity & ageing : I & A2026DHealthy aging is increasingly challenged by inflammaging, a chronic, low‑grade inflammatory state primarily exacerbated by gut microbiota dysbiosis and declining immune function. Persistent digestive and systemic inflammation, along…
