1. Long-term smoking cessation and heart rate dynamics in an aging healthy cohort: is it possible to fully recover? (Publications)

   Long-term smoking cessation and heart rate dynamics in an aging healthy cohort: is it possible to fully recover?

   Relevance:

   AIM: To evaluate the long-term influence of smoking cessation on the regulation of the autonomic cardiovascular system in an aging general population, using the subpopulation of lifelong non-smokers a

   Years of life lost and morbidity cases attributable to transportation noise and air pollution: a comparative health risk assessment for Switzerland in 2010

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that chronic exposure to transportation related noise and air pollution affects human health. However, health burden to a country of these two pollutants have bee

3. Improved air quality and attenuated lung function decline: modification by obesity in the SAPALDIA cohort (Publications)

   Improved air quality and attenuated lung function decline: modification by obesity in the SAPALDIA cohort

   Relevance:

   OBJECTIVE: Air pollution and obesity are hypothesized to contribute to accelerated lung function decline with age through their inflammatory properties. We investigated whether the previously reported

6. Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of 21,000 cases and 95,000 controls identifies new risk loci for atopic dermatitis (Publications)

   Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of 21,000 cases and 95,000 controls identifies new risk loci for atopic dermatitis

   Relevance:

   Genetic association studies have identified 21 loci associated with atopic dermatitis risk predominantly in populations of European ancestry. To identify further susceptibility loci for this common, c

7. Agreement between spirometers: a challenge in the follow-up of patients and populations? (Publications)

   Agreement between spirometers: a challenge in the follow-up of patients and populations?

   Relevance:

   Background: Long-term cohort studies and lung function laboratories are confronted with the need for replacement of spirometers. Lack of agreement between spirometers might affect the longitudinal com

8. Variability and reproducibility of carotid structural and functional parameters assessed with transcutaneous ultrasound - results from the SAPALDIA... (Publications)

   Variability and reproducibility of carotid structural and functional parameters assessed with transcutaneous ultrasound - results from the SAPALDIA cohort study

   Relevance:

   OBJECTIVE: Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and local stiffness are vascular biomarkers of atherosclerotic burden. We investigated the variability and reproducibility of clinically relevant struc

9. Variability of reproductive history across the Swiss SAPALDIA cohort - Pattern and main determinants (Publications)

   Variability of reproductive history across the Swiss SAPALDIA cohort - Pattern and main determinants

   Relevance:

   Background: Reproductive characteristics play an aetiological role for many diseases, including reproductive cancers. They have been shown to vary internationally and nationally, but have not yet been

10. A common functional variant on the pro-inflammatory Interleukin-6 gene may modify the association between long-term PM10 exposure and diabetes (Publications)

    A common functional variant on the pro-inflammatory Interleukin-6 gene may modify the association between long-term PM10 exposure and diabetes

    Relevance:

    BACKGROUND: Air pollutants have been linked to type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypothesized to act through inflammatory pathways and may induce interleukin-6 gene (IL6) in the airway epithelium. The cytokine i
