Cross-sectional but not prospective association of accelerometry-derived physical activity with quality of life in children and adolescents (Publications)
wellbeing (p = 0.023 and 0.002 respectively). The between-subject MVPA was positively associated with the overall QoL, physical wellbeing, and social wellbeing (p = 0.030, 0.017, and 0.028 respectively) [...] Within-subject MVPA was positively associated with physical wellbeing and functioning at school (p = 0.039 and 0.013 respectively). Baseline MVPA was not associated with QoL 5 years later. Conclusion: Future
Liver morbidity due to <em>Schistosoma mekongi</em> in Cambodia after seven rounds of mass drug administration (Publications)
. Periportal fibrosis with portal hypertension was diagnosed in 46% (vs. 0%) of people in this area; 18% (vs. 0%) and 5% (vs. 0%) of portal hypertension was classified as moderate and severe, respectively [...] (n=342) and non-endemic (n=103) areas (Kratie province). Clinical hepatomegaly (25 vs. 0%), splenomegaly (55 vs. 0%), reported blood in stool (41 vs. 20%) and abdominal pain (78 vs. 57%) were significantly [...] significantly more subjects reported a family history of death due to...
Extremely low frequency magnetic field measurements in buildings with transformer stations in Switzerland (Publications)
edges, average ELF-MF level was 0.14muT. Average exposure in the remaining apartments was 0.10muT. Kappa coefficient for exposure classification was 0.64 (95%-CI: 0.45-0.82) if only fully adjacent apartments [...] was concurrently measured with 5 to 6 EMDEX II meters for 10min. Measured arithmetic mean ELF-MF was 0.59muT in 8 apartments that were fully adjacent to a transformer room, either directly above the transformer [...] apartments were considered as highly exposed (> 0.4muT). We found a...
Western European land use regression incorporating satellite- and ground-based measurements of NO2 and PM10 (Publications)
performance (adjusted R2) is 0.48-0.58 for NO2 and 0.22-0.50 for PM10. Inclusion of satellite data improved model performance (adjusted R2) by, on average, 0.05 for NO2 and 0.11 for PM10. Models were applied [...] include land use characteristics, population density, and length of major and minor roads in zones from 0.1km to 10km, altitude, and distance to sea. We explore models with and without satellite-based NO2 and
