TL;DR: Household air pollution exposure was associated with a higher prevalence of COPD, particularly among women, and it is likely a leading population‐attributable risk factor for COPD in resource‐poor settings.

TL;DR: The data support the extension of the thrifty phenotype hypothesis to limb growth, and suggest that certain elements of limb growth may be sacrificed under tough conditions to buffer more functional traits.

TL;DR: The outlined interventions provide a pathway for countries attempting to convert the UN Sustainable Development Goal commitments into tangible action and could be a starting place for low-income and middle-income countries developing universal health coverage packages.

TL;DR: Indoor cooking with biomass fuels is an important cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in LMICs, and improved cookstoves with chimneys may be effective in the prevention of chronic diseases.

TL;DR: A step-wedged cluster randomized trial demonstrates population-wide reductions in blood pressure, which appear to be higher in individuals with hypertension, as well as reductions in risk of hypertension by around 50% for those without hypertension at baseline, after community-wide replacement of regular salt with a potassium-enriched alternative.
