Median antibody responses against [...] infants and lowest in adults. T-cell responses were highest in 6-10-year olds after one dose and 1-5-year olds after three doses; infants had no significant positive T-cell responses. The safety data were

mixed models (GAMM). Effect modification by maternal atopy, infant's sex and air pollution (NO2 , PM2.5 ) was assessed with interaction terms. RESULTS: Per infant 37+/-2 (mean+/-SD) respiratory symptom scores [...] by maternal atopy and infant's sex, a complex crossover interaction between combined pollen and PM2.5 was found (p-Value 0.002). CONCLUSION: Even as early as during the first year of life, pollen exposure

Vitamin A (34.70%) and vitamin B12 (8.80%) were the most prevalent micronutrients found to be deficient [...] schools were five times more likely to be diagnosed with at least one micronutrient deficiency (aOR: 5.04, 95% CI: 2.38-11.44). CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Malnutrition, anemia and micronutrient deficiency
