2. Reproducibility of oscillometrically measured arterial stiffness indices: results of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study (Publications)

   Reproducibility of oscillometrically measured arterial stiffness indices: results of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study

   Relevance:

   Background. There is an increasing interest in oscillometric arterial stiffness measurement for cardiovascular risk stratification. We assessed reproducibility of the cuff-based arterial stiffness mea

3. Association of ambient air pollution with the prevalence and incidence of COPD (Publications)

   Association of ambient air pollution with the prevalence and incidence of COPD

   Relevance:

   The role of air pollution in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains uncertain. The aim was to assess the impact of chronic exposure to air pollution on COPD in four cohorts using the sta

4. Physical activity is associated with lower arterial stiffness in older adults: results of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study (Publications)

   Physical activity is associated with lower arterial stiffness in older adults: results of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study

   Relevance:

   Associations of physical activity (PA) intensity with arterial stiffness in older adults at the population level are insufficiently studied. We examined cross-sectional associations of self-reported P

5. Is there a differential impact of parity on blood pressure by age? (Publications)

   Is there a differential impact of parity on blood pressure by age?

   Relevance:

   OBJECTIVE: In pregnancy, women experience metabolic and hemodynamic changes of potential long-term impact. Conflicting evidence exists on the impact on blood pressure (BP). We investigated the associa

6. Rhinitis in Swiss adults is associated with asthma and early life factors, but not second hand tobacco smoke or obesity (Publications)

   Rhinitis in Swiss adults is associated with asthma and early life factors, but not second hand tobacco smoke or obesity

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Second hand tobacco smoke (SHS) and overweight/obesity are risk factors for asthma and lower airway respiratory symptoms. We investigated whether SHS or overweight/obesity were also associ

7. Early life origins of lung ageing: early life exposures and lung function decline in adulthood in two European cohorts aged 28-73 years (Publications)

   Early life origins of lung ageing: early life exposures and lung function decline in adulthood in two European cohorts aged 28-73 years

   Relevance:

   OBJECTIVES: Early life environment is essential for lung growth and maximally attained lung function. Whether early life exposures impact on lung function decline in adulthood, an indicator of lung ag

8. Ambient ultrafine particle levels at residential and reference sites in urban and rural Switzerland (Publications)

   Ambient ultrafine particle levels at residential and reference sites in urban and rural Switzerland

   Relevance:

   Although there is evidence that ultrafine particles (UFP) do affect human health there are currently no legal ambient standards. The main reasons are the absence of spatially resolved exposure data to

9. Long-term air pollution exposure and diabetes in a population-based Swiss cohort (Publications)

   Long-term air pollution exposure and diabetes in a population-based Swiss cohort

   Relevance:

   Air pollution is an important risk factor for global burden of disease. There has been recent interest in its possible role in the etiology of diabetes mellitus. Experimental evidence is suggestive, b

10. Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and metabolic syndrome in adults (Publications)

    Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and metabolic syndrome in adults

    Relevance:

    Air pollutants (AP) play a role in subclinical inflammation, and are associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is inflammatory and precedes cardiovascular morbi
