Abstract Background The primary objective of this study is to assess the association between household cooking energy sources and under-five mortality. This significant because it informs public health interventions policies for clean improved child health. It uses weighted logistic regression various with data consists 38,446 survey responses from 2018 demographic survey, Zambia dataset. dependent variable was measured as a binary outcome 1 being no mortality has ever occurred in 0 at least one such occurred. regressors were fuel choices, access care, mother’s education, wealth index spacing. Binary coding used measure healthcare Mother’s education categorized into; incomplete primary, complete secondary, higher education. DHS showed poorest, poorer, richer, richest households. All choices dataset adopted without modification. Results A using charcoal 1.58 times more likely experience than electricity (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.09—2.29). Neither distance facility 0.98, 0.84—1.14) nor money services 1.057, 0.89—1.26) had whose mother secondary or 0.38 less compared 0.62, 0.42—0.92). Being households lower odds 0.53, 0.38—0.73) poorest Conclusions Based on above, we recommend energy, community development policies, practices scholarly directions. We inter alia; transition, subsidies communities who comply, comprehensive investment infrastructure. further note limitations study.

The dose-response relationship between cystatin C (CysC) levels and chronic lung disease (CLD) development remains unclear warrants further investigation. A more in-depth study of the serum CysC CLD prevalence based on data from China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). cross-sectional analysis 10,275 middle-aged older adults aged 45 years was conducted using 2015 CHARLS data. Binary logistic regression models, restricted cubic spline curves (RCS), threshold effects analyses were used to explore association different in population, subgroup performed verify robustness findings. When as a categorical variable, risk increased by 38% T3 group compared with T1 (P < 0.001), when continuous 96% for each unit increase level 0.001). In addition, there nonlinear non-linearity 0.012), significantly increasing ≥ 0.754 mg/L. mg/L, we need be highly concerned about developing populations, those 45-64 should focus screening.
