Hyperuricemia is a global health concern, with environmental chemicals as risk factors. This study used data of multiple environmental chemical exposures from the 2011-2012 cycle of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to dev...
BACKGROUND: The exposome framework seeks to unravel the cumulated effects of environmental exposures on health. However, existing methods struggle with challenges including multicollinearity, non-linearity and confounding. To address these limitation...
Accurate forecasting of ground-level ozone (O) is essential for assessing its public health and socioeconomic impacts. This study evaluates the performance of three deep learning models-Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (Deep-CNN), Long Short-Term M...
BACKGROUND: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with increasing prevalence. While genetics play a strong causal role, among environmental factors, air pollution (AP) exposure in pregnancy and infancy has been strongly endo...

It is necessary to predict hair mercury (Hg) levels and specify the related effective factors to develop preventive strategies to reduce Hg exposure in different regions. This study is the first effort to investigate the effectiveness of eight machin...
BACKGROUND: Chronic bronchitis (CB), as a core precursor of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), is crucial for global disease burden prevention and control. Although the association between heavy metal exposure and respiratory damage has be...
BACKGROUND: Exposure to air pollution and meteorological conditions, such as humidity, has been linked to adverse respiratory health outcomes in children. This study aims to develop predictive models for pediatric hospitalizations based on both envir...
INTRODUCTION: This study examines the synergistic effects of multi-pollutant exposure on hepatic lipid accumulation in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) through the application of an explainable machine learning framework. This approach addre...
