“…As reported, a densely populated community are likely to emit more air pollutants ( 97 ) that contribute to an increase in risk of obesity ( 98 , 99 ). Moreover, population density has a positive correlation with PM 10 concentration ( 100 ), and elevated PM 10 levels have been shown to compromise lung function ( 101 , 102 ), consequently impacting cardiovascular health ( 103 ). Interestingly, research have indicated that an increase in coverage ratio of greenspaces benefits to lower the prevalence of obesity ( 104 ), hypertension and cardiovascular disease ( 105 , 106 ), as well as reduce the mortality of cardiovascular disease ( 107 , 108 ).…”

BackgroundSensitive skin (SS) is a condition characterized by hyperreactivity. Impacting around 37 percent of the worldwide population and exerting an influence on the quality of life for affected individuals. Its prevalence rate has increased due to factors such as elevating stress levels and deteriorating environmental conditions. The exposome factors influencing SS have extended from demographic, biological attributes, and lifestyle to external environments. Built environments (BEs) have demonstrated as root drivers for changes in behaviors and environmental exposure which have the potential to trigger SS, but the review of the associations between BEs and SS is currently lacking.ObjectiveThis review aims to achieve two primary objectives: (1) Examine exposome factors that exert influence on SS at the individual and environmental levels. (2) Develop a theoretical framework that establishes a connection between BEs and SS, thereby offering valuable insights into the impact of the built environment on this condition.MethodsAn extensive literature search was carried out across multiple fields, including sociology, epidemiology, basic medicine, clinical medicine, and environmental research, with a focus on SS. To identify pertinent references, renowned databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI were utilized.ResultsSS is the outcome of interactions between individual attributes and environmental factors. These influencing factors can be categorized into five distinct classes: (1) demographic and socioeconomic characteristics including age, gender, and race; (2) physiological and biological attributes such as emotional changes, skin types, sleep disorders, and menstrual cycles in women; (3) behavioral factors, such as spicy diet, cosmetic use, alcohol consumption, and physical exercise; (4) natural environmental features, including climate conditions and air pollution; (5) built environmental features such as population density, green space availability, road network density, and access to public transportation, also have the potential to affect the condition.ConclusionThe importance of interdisciplinary integration lies in its ability to ascertain whether and how BEs are impacting SS. By elucidating the role of BEs in conjunction with other factors in the onset of SS, we can provide guidance for future research endeavors and the formulation of interventions aimed at mitigating the prevalence of SS.

This study aimed to explore the impact of PM 2.5 exposure on survival, post-operative outcomes, and tumor recurrence in resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The study cohort comprised 587 patients at Chiang Mai University Hospital between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2017. Patients were categorized based on their residents’ average PM 2.5 concentration into two groups: exposed (PM 2.5 ≥ 25 µg/m3 annual mean) and unexposed (PM 2.5 < 25 µg/m3 annual mean). The exposed group had 278 patients, while the unexposed group had 309 patients. Baseline differences in gender and surgical approach were observed between the groups. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that patients in the exposed group had a higher risk of death (HR 1.44, 95% CI, 1.08–1.89, p = 0.012). However, no significant associations were found between PM 2.5 and post-operative pulmonary complications (RR 1.12, 95% CI, 0.60–2.11, p = 0.718), in-hospital mortality (RR 1.98, 95% CI, 0.40–9.77, p = 0.401), and tumor recurrence (HR 1.12, 95% CI, 0.82–1.51, p = 0.483). In conclusion, a PM 2.5 concentration ≥ 25 µg/m3 annual mean was associated with decreased overall survival and a potential increase in in-hospital mortality among resectable NSCLC patients. Larger studies with extended follow-up periods are required to validate these findings.
