“…It is essential to make it clear that carbon emissions do not have a beneficial effect on the amount of energy that is used which is also evident from the estimated value of CE (Acheampong, 2018;Farhani, Chaibi, & Rault, 2014). Carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels constitute a substantial contribution to environmental concerns, most notably climate change, and are linked to adverse effects on both the health of the planet and of humans (Wang, Wei, Zhang, & Qi, 2023). There have been instances in which greater carbon emissions have been linked to both increased economic development and increased energy use very minimal.…”

The focus of this study is to check how energy consumption is affected by tourism, FDI, and urban population in the Muslim nations keeping in view the role of government effectiveness during 2001-2022. The empirical analyses are based on slope homogeneity tests, cross-sectional dependency tests, unit root test and Panel ARDL tests. The empirical evidence suggests that carbon emissions, tourism, foreign direct investment, and urban population increase all have a positive impact on energy consumption. On the other hand, the efficiency of governance appears to have the opposite effect on energy use. Reducing carbon emissions while concurrently increasing energy efficiency, shifting to renewable energy sources, and minimizing the negative effects of energy usage on the environment and society is a worldwide necessity.

“…Secondly, Chinese scholars have extensively explored the impact of the population on carbon emissions from various perspectives. This includes Guo's research on population structure [34], Chen's work on population growth [35], Wang's investigation into population aging [36], Wu's analysis of population mobility [37], and Zhang's examination of residents' living standards [38]. The research findings indicate that population is a key factor influencing carbon emissions.…”

A profound analysis of China’s research achievements in the realm of carbon emissions holds the potential to furnish insightful references for analogous endeavors and inquiries in other nations. Employing the CiteSpace tool, this paper identifies five major focal points in Chinese scholars’ research on carbon emissions: carbon emission computation and prediction, influencing factors of carbon emissions, carbon footprint, carbon emission efficiency, and differential analysis of carbon emissions. Subsequently, this article systematically scrutinizes and dissects the outcomes of Chinese scholars’ endeavors in the aforementioned five focal points, culminating in recommending China’s forthcoming research on carbon emissions. (1) The research findings reveal a diversified evolution in the methods employed for calculating and predicting carbon emissions in China. However, due to the limited exploration of delineating carbon emission boundaries, instances of overlap and deviation in carbon emission quantification have emerged. (2) Factors influencing carbon emissions can be categorized into five major classes: economic, demographic, energy-related, policy-driven, and others. Yet, studies investigating industry-specific influencing factors remain relatively scarce. (3) Overcoming challenges associated with cross-boundary measurements, comprehensive effects, and policy applications is imperative in carbon footprint research. (4) Significantly disparate levels of carbon emission efficiency prevail across distinct regions or industries, with intricacies characterizing the influencing factors and a notable dearth of micro-level investigations. (5) The analysis of carbon emission differentials primarily encompasses regional disparities, industrial differentials, and temporal variations, lacking sustained tracking studies on the nuances of carbon emission disparities.

“…As rapid socio-economic development unfolds, the aging of the Chinese population is further exacerbated ( 1 ). The considerable expansion of the aging population will significantly amplify the societal burden of disease and healthcare requirements ( 2 , 3 ), with particular emphasis on the pervasive attention given to hypertension among these chronic conditions.…”

BackgroundThe objective of this study was to explore the association between the ratio of serum creatinine to cystatin C to waist circumference (CCR/WC) and hypertension.MethodsThe study utilized data extracted from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. In the cross-sectional analysis, logistic regression analyses were employed to examine the association between the CCR/WC ratio and hypertension. By utilizing restricted cubic splines, potential non-linear associations between the CCR/WC ratio and hypertension were explored. In the longitudinal analysis, the association between CCR/WC quartiles (Q1–Q4) and the risk of new-onset hypertension was evaluated by Cox proportional-hazards models.ResultsIn total, 7,253 participants were enrolled. The study unveiled an inverse association with hypertension, demonstrating an odds ratio (OR) of 0.29 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.23–0.37, P < 0.001). Among males, an OR of 0.38 (95% CI: 0.25–0.58, P < 0.001) was observed, while among females, an OR of 0.41 (95% CI: 0.28–0.60, P < 0.001) was noted. There was an absence of a nonlinear association between the CCR/WC ratio and hypertension. Cox regression analysis unveiled a reduced risk of hypertension in Q3 (Hazard ratios [HR]: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.58–0.82, P < 0.001) and Q4: (HR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.59–0.83, P < 0.001) in compared to the Q1 of the CCR/WC ratio, and sex-specific analysis yielded consistent results.ConclusionThis study emphasizes the potential association between an elevated CCR/WC ratio and a reduced risk of hypertension.
