“…In contrast, drinking natural water can avoid the problems above to a certain extent. China is a large agricultural country and natural water is a common drinking source for the rural areas ( 43 ). Natural water can enhance biological stability and lower concentrations of micropollutants on account of the presence of certain bacterial and fungal species helping to promote biodegradation of organic and inorganic matter ( 44 ).…”

ObjectiveBecause of rapid economic growth and followed urban expansion in China, many people drinking natural water had to change their water sources to tap water. We aimed to test the unknown association that whether continued use of natural water for drinking is different from switching to tap water in all-cause mortality risks in elderly people.MethodsIn total, based on Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, 26,688 elderly participants drinking natural water from childhood to young-old were included in the final analyses. Associations between whether changing drinking water sources or not and all-cause mortality risk were then estimated by Cox regression models with the use of multiple propensity score methods, and the primary analysis used propensity score matching, with other propensity score methods confirming the robustness of the results.ResultsBaseline characteristics were fairly well balanced by the three post-randomization methods. During a median follow-up period of 3.00 (IQR: 1.52, 5.73) years, 21,379 deaths were recorded. The primary analysis showed people using natural water unchangeably was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality than those switching to tap water in later life (HR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.91–0.97, p < 0.001). Other propensity score methods, as well as Cox regression analysis without using propensity score methods, showed similar results.ConclusionsAmong elderly people depending on natural water for drinking from their childhood to young-old in China, continued use of natural water was associated with a lower all-cause mortality risk than conversion to tap water later. Further studies in different countries and populations are needed to verify our conclusions.

“…Meanwhile, no evidence between human diseases and the natural bacteria found in natural water has been discovered ( 10 ). Additionally, owing to the adsorption by the soil and degradation by various microorganisms in the soil, spring water contained fewer contaminants like antibiotics ( 43 ).…”

“…Rural communities are more likely to depend upon agriculture to sustain the local economy, which has a significant impact on health and aging. Since 2019, numerous studies examining the impacts of agricultural and industrial waste on human health and aging among rural populations have been published, primarily in settings outside of the US, particularly in China [91][92][93], South Asia [94][95][96], and sub-Saharan Africa [97][98][99][100]. Agricultural waste, more common in rural than urban areas [101], contains multiple types of pollutants, including antibiotics [91,93,102], heavy metals [94,103], ammonia [104], pesticides [96,99], and many others.…”

Purpose of Review Population aging is occurring worldwide, particularly in developed countries such as the United States (US). However, in the US, the population is aging more rapidly in rural areas than in urban areas. Healthy aging in rural areas presents unique challenges. Understanding and addressing those challenges is essential to ensure healthy aging and promote health equity across the lifespan and all geographies. This review aims to present findings and evaluate recent literature (2019)(2020)(2021)(2022) on rural aging and highlight future directions and opportunities to improve population health in rural communities. Recent FindingsThe review first addresses several methodological considerations in measuring rurality, including the choice of measure used, the composition of each measure, and the limitations and drawbacks of each measure. Next, the review considers important concepts and context when describing what it means to be rural, including social, cultural, economic, and environmental conditions. The review assesses several key epidemiologic studies addressing rural-urban differences in population health among older adults. Health and social services in rural areas are then discussed in the context of healthy aging in rural areas. Racial and ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, and informal caregivers are considered as special populations in the discussion of rural older adults and healthy aging. Lastly, the review provides evidence to support critical longitudinal, place-based research to promote healthy aging across the rural-urban divide is highlighted. Summary Policies, programs, and interventions to reduce rural-urban differences in population health and to promote health equity and healthy aging necessitate a context-specific approach. Considering the cultural context and root causes of rural-urban differences in population health and healthy aging is essential to support the real-world effectiveness of such programs, policies, and interventions.

The solid phase extraction-ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect and analyze antibiotics in the water of four urban lakes in Xi’an—Hancheng Lake, Xingqing Lake, Nanhu Lake and Tao Huatan. A total of 15 types of antibiotics were detected in the water samples at a concentration between ND-280.16ng/L, of which Sulfamethoxazole (SMX), Sulfamonomethoxine (SMM), Ofloxacin (OFX), dehydrated red Erythromycin (ETM)and Roxithromycin (RTM) are the main types of antibiotics in four lakes in Xi’an; The ecological risk of antibiotics in four lakes was evaluated by Risk Quotients method (RQ). The results showed that the five antibiotics in Tao Huatan were at high risk level. Three antibiotics were at high risk level in Hancheng Lake and Xingqing Lake, and two antibiotics were at high risk level in Nanhu Lake.
