This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Goal 5: Gender Equality by demonstrating the difference by sex in age of presentation with myocardial infarction. It also examines differences in risk factors and in accuracy of prognostic tests between men and women, which had not previouslty been well-described.
In this round up of 2024, we share the Special Collections published on the SDG Resource Centre throughout the year, featuring more than 800 research articles and book chapters made freely available to advance knowledge and accelerate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
The article concludes that the Mediterranean diet (MD) stands out as a model for sustainable and healthy eating, offering significant benefits for both human and planetary health. While it does not outperform vegetarian or vegan diets in terms of environmental impact, its nutritional quality, cultural acceptance, and moderate environmental footprint make it a practical and valuable dietary pattern. To maximize its benefits, policy and educational efforts should promote MD adherence and integrate sustainability considerations into dietary recommendations, addressing the challenges posed by globalization and shifting food preferences. Standardizing environmental impact measurements and considering broader sustainability indicators remain important areas for future research.
Rapidly increasing human population and food animal populations are correlated with emergence of new zoonotic infectious diseases. Dependence on a few species of plants and animals for most human food may contribute to food insecurity.

This article presents an integrated pest management solution that uses deep learning for semi-automated pest detection and an expert system for pest management decision making. The proposed system also aims to minimize the use of harmful pesticides, promoting more sustainable agricultural practices.
The intermittency of the food deserts positions Chile as halfway between the Global South and North models. The particularity of this model is that intermittently and regularly provides a healthy food environment within food deserts. Additionally, it has the potential to be planned for overcoming structural inequalities in spatial fresh food access. With a focus on Concepcion, Chile, this article analyses the importance of the spatiotemporal dimension in food access studies where a healthy diet depends on systems other than supermarkets characterized by intermittent operation over a week.
