- Systematic review of 36 studies in low- and middle-income countries found indoor air pollution strongly linked to acute respiratory infections in under-five children (pooled prevalence 13.56%)
- Major risk factors: No kitchen window (OR=4.47), traditional stoves (OR=2.53), secondhand smoke (OR=1.19), unclean fuels (OR=1.16)
- Other factors: Diarrhea (OR = 3.76), and stunting (OR = 1.16) also increased risk.

- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was linked to higher incidence of Parkinson disease (PD): 1.61 new cases/1000 at 6y from diagnosis vs non-OSA, even after adjusting for body mass index, comorbidities, psychiatric conditions, & medications in 11.3M veterans; risk was greater in women
- Early treatment with continuous positive airway pressure reduced PD cases, suggesting OSA to be an independent modifiable PD risk factor.
