Global, regional, and national burdens of low back pain in women of childbearing age from 1990 to 2021: an analysis based on the global burden of disease study 2021 by Shiwen Zhang, Xuan Ma, Yao Yao, Huashan Pan, Lijuan Zou

“…In age patterns, the highest prevalence and YLDs rates of LBP were found among women in the 45–49 age group(the prevalence: 14,412.77 per 100,000 in 2021 [95% UI: 10,482.27 to 19,077.3]) (the YLDs: 1,639.56 per 100,000 population (95% UI: 1,035.24 to 2,494.9]). Conclusion Despite declines in the prevalence and YLDs of WCBA LBP, the burden remains high. …”

Enhancing climate resilience: A data-driven north rift weather prediction system for real-time forecasting and agricultural decision support by John W. Makokha, Peter W. Barasa, Geoffrey W. Khamala

“…By analyzing temporal variations in vegetation health and land degradation from 1995 to 2020, the study identifies a significant inverse relationship between NDVI and BSI, where increasing bare soil exposure corresponds to declining vegetation health. The analysis also reveals that climatic factors particularly temperature (minimum and maximum) and precipitation play a critical role in shaping these trends, with high temperatures after 2000 associated with reduced NDVI, while regions with higher precipitation show healthier vegetation and lower BSI. …”
