Cadmium Intake, Dietary Patterns and Hyperuricemia Among Adults in China by Zumin Shi (287671)

“…After adjusting for demographic, lifestyle factors (i.e. smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity) and chronic conditions, the OR for HU was 2.25 (95%CI 1.84–2.77, p for trend < 0.001) for extreme quartiles of estimated cumulative cadmium intake. A traditional southern dietary pattern characterized by high intake of rice, pork, fish and vegetables, and low intake of wheat was associated with three times increased prevalence of HU; comparing the extreme quartiles, the odds ratio (OR) was 3.24 (95%CI 2.61–4.01). …”

Assessment of Qatar’s road network under sea-level-rise scenarios using traffic simulation and graph theory by Mohammad Zaher Serdar (17191381)
