Mapping development and health effects of cooking with solid fuels in low-income and middle-income countries, 2000–18: a geospatial modelling study

Energy Inequality Indicators: A Comprehensive Review for Exploring Ways to Reduce Inequality

“…Energy inequality has become a significant research topic due to its social, economic, and environmental implications. Researchers from a wide range of disciplines, including social sciences, economics, public policy, and even engineering, are now exploring different aspects of energy inequality, such as the factors that contribute to energy inequality, the economic and social impacts of energy inequality [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], the impact on health [13,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], the impact on vulnerable members of the society [24][25][26][27][28][29], the impact on environmental quality [30][31][32][33][34][35][36], and the policies and strategies that can help to promote energy access and equity. Recent advancements in data collection and analysis have also enabled researchers to better understand the magnitude and distribution of energy inequality across different regions and populations.…”

“…Fuel poverty, which refers to the inability of households to access an adequate level of energy services, has wide-ranging impacts on health and well-being, including increased risks of cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and lower levels of mental health [18]). Additionally, a study by Frostad, J. et al (2022) reveals that household air pollution, a consequence of inadequate energy services, contributed to approximately 205,000 deaths among children under the age of 5 in 2018 due to lower respiratory tract infections [19]. Also, carbon emissions, a significant contributor to environmental degradation, pose one of the greatest environmental health risks globally [13].…”

Associations between cooking fuel use, its transitions, and worsening sensory impairments among Chinese middle-aged and older adults: a cohort study

“…There are distinct regional differences in global solid fuel use. A previous study of 98 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) showed that the use rate of solid fuels reached 56.5% in 2018 [ 13 ]. China is among the LMICs with the largest number of people cooking solid fuels.…”

Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis of Gingival Tissue in Patients with Severe Periodontitis

“…The sources for metabolomics assessments can range from blood, urine, and saliva to tissue extracts . Currently, the most widely used metabolomic methods include GC-MS, LC-MS, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry . There have been a small number of metabolomics analyses pertinent to periodontitis, mainly concentrating on GCF and saliva .…”

“…14 Currently, the most widely used metabolomic methods include GC-MS, LC-MS, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. 15 There have been a small number of metabolomics analyses pertinent to periodontitis, mainly concentrating on GCF and saliva. 16 Kim et al identified five metabolite biomarkers (ethanol, taurine, isovalerate, butyrate, and glucose) in two independent cohorts that could distinguish patients with periodontitis from healthy controls.…”
