Although there is some evidence that flood exposure in Bangladesh and other developing countries increases the risk of chronic undernutrition in children, the underlying mechanisms are, to our knowledge, unknown. The objectives of this research are to examine the association between recurrent flood exposure and the likelihood of chronic undernutrition in children and to investigate the mediators of this association. ⋯ Flood exposure was found associated with the likelihood of child chronic undernutrition, and this relationship was mediated through lack of having a separate kitchen, history of diarrhea, insufficient vaccination, use of unclean cooking fuel, and poor minimum dietary diversity. Interventions to reduce the prevalence of these risk factors could contribute to reducing the disparities in child undernourishment brought on by exposure to flooding.

Degree of Risk Factor Control and Incident Cardiovascular Diseases in Patients With Hypertension.
To investigate whether joint risk factor control could reduce the excess risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with hypertension. ⋯ The joint risk factor control is associated with lower risks of CVD, and a high degree of risk factor control may considerably attenuate the excess risk of CVD among patients with hypertension.
