Weekly COVID-19 Update for 2023-12-24

COVID is still airborne, and COVID still very much isn't over.

Northeastern and Midwestern USA SARS2 virus levels in wastewater are *soaring*, Northeast is currently at 1500 copies/mL (~750 copies indicates a strong surge), and Midwest is at 1300 copies/mL. Southeastern and Western USA are maintaining relatively lower levels between 600 and 700 overall, but both are still climbing. See https://biobot.io/data for county-specific data as results can vary widely between locales.

How to reduce your risk of infection? The SARS2 virus is airborne and can spread like smoke, so #MaskUp with an #N95 or better, avoid superspreader events and locations, and stay up-to-date on your boosters. Do it for yourself, so you don't catch SARS-CoV-2, and for others, so you don't spread SARS-CoV-2. Even if you're fully vaccinated, your risk of developing #LongCOVID following an infection is lower but not zero, and multiple reinfections increase your odds of negative health outcomes. Plan A always should be to prevent an infection from developing by wearing a respirator with a good seal around your mouth and nose (FFP2, FFP3, KN95, N95, N99, P100, etc.).

Holiday tips:

-If someone tells you that COVID is over, you might ask them why, if we didn't consider COVID to be over in 2020 or 2021, when the COVID wastewater levels were lower, why should we consider it over now, when the virus is circulating in even higher amounts?

-"Fewer cases" doesn't mean much when most of the at-home rapid tests don't get counted in official records, and the most accurate PCR tests are neither freely available nor given to everyone getting on a plane or attending classes.

-"Fewer deaths" also means less when you remember that about 1,200,000 of the most vulnerable people already have died from it, COVID-19 remains the #3 cause of death in 2023 (behind heart disease and cancer, the risk of both of which may be increased by COVID), and the risk of a Long COVID/post-acute COVID syndrome (PACS) disability or other potentially life-shortening organ damage (brain, kidney, lung, immune, etc.) isn't measured just by the death count. Also, the USA's life expectancy still hasn't recovered from the drop it experienced following the start of the pandemic.

Sean bienvenidos japonistasarqueologicos a una nueva actualidad del país del sol naciente, en esta ocasión en el tema de actualidad de esta opción será la natalidad y de cómo afectará al país dicho esto pónganse cómodos que empezamos. - La esperanza de vida en Japón es la más alta del mundo, llegando a los 100 años, lo cual lo convierte en el país más longevo del mundo, Japón para 2046, según nuevos estudios llevados a cabo por National Geographic, será de 37.5% de población envejecida. - La tasa de natalidad y los estudios realizados por Statista Research Department en septiembre 29, 2022 natalidades son de 1,69. Seguramente llegue a un punto en el que se llegará a un equilibrio entre la tasa de natalidad y la tasa de mortalidad. - ¿Cuál será el destino de Japón? ¿Qué opinan al respecto? Espero que os haya gustado y nos vemos en próximas publicaciones que pasen una buena semana. - 今回は「出生率」と「出生率の推移」についてです。 - 日本の平均寿命は、それが世界で最も長く生きている国になり、100年に達し、世界で最も高いです、日本は2046年までに、ナショナルジオグラフィックが実施した新しい研究によると、人口の37.5％が高齢化されることになります。 - 2022年9月29日にStatista Research Departmentが行った研究によると、出生率・出生数は1.69である。おそらく、出生率と死亡率が均衡する地点に達するだろう。 - 日本の運命はどうなるのか、あなたはどう思いますか？私はあなたがそれを好きで、将来の記事であなたを参照してください願っています良い週を持っています。 - Welcome japanistasarqueologicos to a new news from the country of the rising sun, this time the topic of this option will be the birth rate and how it will affect the country, that said, make yourselves comfortable and let's start. - Life expectancy in Japan is the highest in the world, reaching 100 years, which makes it the longest living country in the world, Japan by 2046, according to new studies conducted by National Geographic, will be 37.5% of the population aged. - The birth rate and birth rates are 1.69, according to studies conducted by Statista Research Department on September 29, 2022. It will probably reach a point where a balance will be reached between the birth rate and the death rate. - What will Japan's fate be, and what do you think about it? I hope you liked it and see you in future posts have a good week.

Losing weight increases life expectancy.

It indeed depends on how much weight you need to lose and other lifestyle factors. However, if you follow some simple rules, for example, someone who is obese (BMI of 30 or over) and loses 5–10% of their body weight will see significant improvements in health and life expectancy. If you're already at a healthy weight (BMI below 25), then losing weight probably won't have much of an impact on your longevity, but that doesn't mean you have to give up your healthy lifestyle. There are a few different ways that losing weight can help you live longer:

1. By reducing the risk of developing obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes

2. heart disease and certain types of cancer

3. It helps you maintain healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.

4. It gives you more energy and improves your overall mood and quality of life.

Tag your friends -- The amount of life expectancy lost for each pack of cigarettes smoked is 28 minutes, and the years of life expectancy a typical smoker loses is 25 years. Every cigarette a man smokes reduces his life by 11 minutes. Each carton of cigarettes thus represents a day and a half of lost life. ಸೇದುವ ಪ್ರತಿ ಪ್ಯಾಕ್ ಸಿಗರೆಟ್‌ಗಳಿಗೆ ಕಳೆದುಹೋದ ಜೀವಿತಾವಧಿಯ ಪ್ರಮಾಣವು 28 ನಿಮಿಷಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಧೂಮಪಾನಿಯು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಜೀವಿತಾವಧಿಯ ವರ್ಷಗಳು 25 ವರ್ಷಗಳು. ಮನುಷ್ಯನು ಸೇದುವ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಸಿಗರೇಟು ಅವನ ಜೀವಿತಾವಧಿಯನ್ನು 11 ನಿಮಿಷಗಳಷ್ಟು ಕಡಿಮೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಸಿಗರೇಟಿನ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಪೆಟ್ಟಿಗೆಯು ಕಳೆದುಹೋದ ಜೀವನದ ಒಂದೂವರೆ ದಿನವನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. . . 👆👆👆@generalknowledgeinkannada ನಮ್ಮ ಪೇಜ್ ಅನ್ನು Follow ಮಾಡಿ. ಮತ್ತು ನಮ್ಮ YOUTUBE CHANNEL ಅನ್ನು SUBSCRIBE ಮಾಡಿ .

The Interplay of Socioeconomic Status and Alcohol Consumption: Implications for Life Expectancy

I’ve chosen the NESARC dataset about life expectancy associated with alcohol consumption. This dataset is rich and provides a lot of interesting variables to explore.

This is a topic that has always intrigued me and I believe this dataset provides a great opportunity to explore it further.

CodeBook

Variable Name

Description

alcconsumption

2008 alcohol consumption per adult (age 15+), litres

lifeexpectancy

2011 life expectancy at birth (years)

Questions:

Is there a correlation between per capita income (income_per_person) and life expectancy (life_expectancy)?

How does alcohol consumption (alcohol_consumption) vary with per capita income (income_per_person)?

Is there a correlation between the level of education (education_level) and alcohol consumption (alcohol_consumption)?

How does alcohol consumption (alcohol_consumption) affect life expectancy (life_expectancy)?

Is there a difference in alcohol consumption (alcohol_consumption) and life expectancy (life_expectancy) between genders (gender)?

Variables:

Per capita income (income_per_person)

Life expectancy (life_expectancy)

Alcohol consumption (alcohol_consumption)

Level of education (education_level)

Gender (gender)

incomeperperson   

This is the Gross Domestic Product per capita in constant 2000 US$

New CodeBook

income_per_person

This variable represents the per capita income for each country. It’s a numerical variable measured in international dollars, fixed 2011 prices.

life_expectancy

This variable indicates the average number of years a newborn child would live if current mortality patterns were to stay the same throughout its life. It’s a numerical variable measured in years.

alcohol_consumption

This variable represents the recorded and estimated average alcohol consumption, adult (15+) per capita consumption in liters pure alcohol. It’s a numerical variable measured in liters.

education_level:

This variable indicates the average years of schooling for adults aged 25 and older. It’s a numerical variable measured in years.

The study revealed that lower educational attainment was significantly associated with increased risks of both non-problematic heavy drinking and problem drinking. Lower income was significantly associated with a lower risk of non-problematic heavy drinking, but not of problem drinking.

The study found that higher income was associated with greater longevity, and differences in life expectancy across income groups increased over time. Life expectancy for low-income individuals varied substantially across local areas

Given the variables selected from the Gapminder dataset life expectancy, alcohol consumption, and income per person.

Hypothesis

The socioeconomic status, characterized by factors such as income and education, along with lifestyle choices like alcohol consumption, significantly impacts an individual’s life expectancy and overall health. Specifically, higher income and education levels may be associated with lower risks of heavy and problematic drinking, which in turn could lead to increased longevity. However, the relationship between alcohol consumption and health outcomes might be complex and influenced by factors such as the type and amount of alcohol consumed, and the individual’s overall lifestyle and genetic predisposition.

Exploring Global Longevity: Analyzing Life Expectancy and Urbanization Trends Across Nations

I would like to know more about the relation between climate change and urbanization and how this affects people’s lives all around the globe. For this reason,  I selected the database from the Gapminder codebook {Gapminder codebook (.pdf)}

Specifically, my Research Question is: Does life expectancy associated with urban rate per country?

So, I decided that I am most interested in exploring environmental factors of urban rate, in this case CO2 emissions and residential electricity consumption, that affect life expectancy dependence.

Sub-research Question: Do environmental factors like CO2 emissions and residential electricity consumption impact life expectancy in urban areas?

The variables of the research questions derived from the Gapminder codebook: co2emissions, lifeexpectancy, relectricperperson, urbanrate. (You can see the image in the end that I created an Excel shit with only these variables).

I have two hypothesis based on the results I found:

1.  That the more people are gathered in urban centers, the higher the technological development and the higher the industrialization rates, and this ultimately increases pollution that affects life expectancy in urban areas.

2. A positive relationship between CO2 emissions and life expectancy in West Africa. CO2 emissions may indirectly contribute to improved life expectancy through mechanisms such as enhanced healthcare infrastructure and increased access to medical services facilitated by economic activities associated with CO2 emissions, notably industrialization.

My hypothesis is based on the following literature review:

Elevated CO2 emissions in urban areas are expected to negatively impact life expectancy due to increased pollution. Prolonged exposure to high CO2 levels can result in respiratory and cardiovascular health problems, thereby reducing life expectancy. Additionally, electricity rates may indirectly affect urban CO2 emissions by shaping energy consumption behaviors.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352550921001950

Reducing exposure to ambient fine-particulate air pollution led to notable and measurable enhancements in life expectancy in the United States.https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa0805646

The detrimental impact of CO2 emissions on agricultural output, they might indirectly contribute positively to life expectancy in West Africa. Possible explanations for this unexpected relationship include enhancements in healthcare infrastructure and accessibility to medical services driven by economic activities linked to CO2 emissions.https://ojs.jssr.org.pk/index.php/jssr/article/view/115

The study highlights that CO2 emissions negatively impact life expectancy in both Asian and African countries, potentially due to increased urban pollution and deteriorating air quality. Economic progression has a mixed impact on life expectancy, with a negative overall effect but a positive influence observed in the highest economic quantile. This suggests that while economic growth may enhance life expectancy under certain conditions, it can also lead to negative health outcomes in urban areas due to pollution and lifestyle changes.https://ojs.jssr.org.pk/index.php/jssr/article/view/115
