Abstract
To evaluate the relationship between Chlamydia pneumoniae infection and lung cancer, we conducted a metaanalysis of studies comparing the antibodies of C. pneumoniae between lung cancer patients and controls. The random-effects model or fixed-effects model was used according to the results of heterogeneity tests. Total, 8 studies with 1602 cases and 1734 controls were included. The analysis showed that the pooled OR of the association between C. pneumoniae IgA and lung cancer was 1.82 (95% CI, 1.21-2.74), while the association between C. pneumoniae IgG and lung cancer was 1.77 (95% CI, 1.13-2.78). Thus, statistically significant differences were observed between C. pneumoniae antibodies and lung cancer. This meta-analysis suggests that C. pneumoniae infection may be a potential risk factor for lung cancer.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
