Although long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been linked to lung cancer incidence in never-smokers (LCINS), evidence for PM2.5 constituents remains limited. This study included 262,785 never-smokers from the China Kadoorie Biobank, among whom 2646 LCINS cases were identified. Annual average concen...

BACKGROUND/AIMS
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) are distinct diseases, yet many glaucoma cases in population-based datasets lack subtype specification. We assessed incidence patterns of glaucoma subtypes in China and the UK and used genetic evidence to infer the likely subty...

BACKGROUND
Evidence regarding the effects of air pollution on bone damage remains limited and inconclusive. We aimed to investigate the individual and combined associations of long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants with fracture risk and bone mineral density (BMD).
METHODS
This study included 490,172 participan...
