Participants with consistently high pain site count had the highest CVD risk compared to those with consistently low count (HR 1.94, 95% CI 1.53–2.46), while those with a decreasing trend in pain site count had a lower risk (HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.26–1.78).

Except for Gwangju, most of the cities exhibited a decreasing trend in green space and an increasing trend in ambient temperature during the study period from 2008 to 2021 (Table 4 ).

This indicates an increasing trend in air pollution particularly in densely populated districts like Colombo in Sri Lanka, where annual ambient PM 10 levels consistently surpass the WHO, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Sri Lankan Guideline values [ 28 ].

When the AAPC value was > 0, it indicated that the corresponding age-standardized rate (ASR) was in an increasing trend; otherwise, it indicated a decreasing trend.

Furthermore, we found significant subgroup differences for gender (TT4), thyroid disease (TT4, FT4, and FT3), and borderline significance for age group (FT4).

Results Figure 1 reveals a clear trend that rural-to-urban migrants experience hypertension earlier than their non-migrant counterparts.

However, a slightly significant positive correlation was found between time since insulin use and adherence to adequate practices involving the use of insulin pens.

Results Postintervention findings indicated a marginally significant reduction in perceived stress and improvements in several aspects of the psychosocial work environment, including work‒life balance and supervisory recognition.
