This meta-analysis confirmed the association between exposure to famine in early life and increased risk of hypertension in adulthood. Prevention of malnutrition during early life is an appropriate recommendation to prevent hypertension.

Exposure to Chinese famine in early life was associated with increased risk of dyslipidemia in adulthood. Preventing undernutrition in early life is an appropriate recommendation to reduce the prevalence of later dyslipidemia.

This meta-analysis indicated that AMD, especially late AMD, was associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality based on comparisons with people who did not have AMD and who were of similar age and sex.

Background Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) has become one of the most important infectious diseases recent years. Qingdao City has suffered from serious HFMD epidemic. This study aimed to describe epidemiological characteristics and investigate spatial-temporal distribution at town level in Qingdao City. Method The surveillance data of HFMD during 2013-2018 were collected from the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System. The global Moran's I statistic was used to detect the spatial autocorrelation of HFMD cases by ArcGis 10.0 software. Purely spatial and spatialtemporal analysis was used to detect epidemic clusters by SatScan TM v9.6 software. Results The annual average incidence of HFMD cases in Qingdao City from 2013 to 2018 was 123.16 per 100000, while the incidence rate of children�5years old was 2879.80 per 100000. The majority (88.97%) of HFMD cases were aged within 0-5 years old and the males were 60.20%. Other enterovirus (EV), enteriovirus 71(EV71), and Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) accounted for 48.75%, 30.91% and 20.34%. The seasonal peak was between May and October. HFMD had positive spatial autocorrelation at town level with global Moran's I from 0.19 to 0.31(P<0.001). Spatial-temporal cluster analysis detected six most likely clusters and three secondary clusters from 2013 to 2018. The most likely cluster was located in urban and urban-rural fringe areas. Conclusions Urban and urban-rural fringe areas were the major locations of the clusters with other EV as the dominant pathogen between May and October. The findings suggested that the
