TL;DR: An international study on salt intake and associated behaviours in the general population provides unique insights into issues surrounding salt reduction and should be used to develop effective salt reduction strategies and/or policies.

TL;DR: It is found that maximum temperature, rather than heat index, was a better predictor of heat-related illnesses in summers, and relevant active well-organized public health initiatives should be implemented to reduce the adverse effects of heat extremes on the illnesses.

TL;DR: ARIMA models applied to historical HFRS incidence data are an important tool for HFRS surveillance in China and shows that accurate forecasting of the HF RS incidence is possible using an ARIMA model.
Abstract: Background
China is a country that is most seriously affected by hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) with 90% of HFRS cases reported globally. At present, HFRS is getting worse with increasing cases and natural foci in China. Therefore, there is an urgent need for monitoring and predicting HFRS incidence to make the control of HFRS more effective. In this study, we applied a stochastic autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model with the objective of monitoring and short-term forecasting HFRS incidence in China.

TL;DR: Major reductions in tuberculosis burden seem possible with current interventions, however, additional interventions, adapted to country-specific tuberculosis epidemiology and health systems, are needed to reach the post-2015 End TB Strategy targets at country level.

TL;DR: To determine the prevalence of myopia in school children in Greater Beijing, a large number of children born in the 1980s and 90s were diagnosed with myopia, a common type ofopia, and a small number of them had noopia.
Abstract: Purpose
To determine the prevalence of myopia in school children in Greater Beijing.
Methods
The Beijing Childhood Eye Study was a school-based cross-sectional study. One school of each level (primary, junior high, senior high) was randomly selected from nine randomly selected districts of Greater Beijing. The children underwent non-cycloplegic refractometry and their parents an interview.
Results
Of 16 771 eligible students, 15 066 (89.8%) children with a mean age of 13.2 ± 3.4 years (range: 7–18 years) participated. Prevalence of myopia defined as refractive error of ≤−0.50 diopters (D), ≤−1.00 D, ≤−6.00 D and ≤−8.00 D in the right eye was 64.9 ± 0.4%, 53.0 ± 0.4%, 4.3 ± 0.2% and 1.0 ± 0.1% respectively. In multivariate analysis, prevalence of myopia was significantly (p < 0.001) associated with higher age, female gender, urban region and school type. Prevalence of myopia of ≤−1.00 D and of ≤−8.0 D increased from 9.7% and 0% in 7 year olds, respectively, to 74.2% and 1.8% in 17- or 18 year olds respectively. The latter figure was already similar (p = 0.39) to the prevalence of high myopia in the elderly Beijing Eye Study population (1.6%). In a subset of 1082 children undergoing cycloplegia, difference in refractive error between prior to and after cycloplegia was 0.31 ± 0.47 diopters.
Conclusions
On the basis of previous investigations from China, our study indicated an ongoing myopic shift in the young generation. Since the prevalence of high myopia in children aged 17 or 18 years was already similar to the one in the elderly Beijing population, the data prognosticate an increase in vision threatening high myopia in the future adult population.
