Long-term physical activity is associated with reduced arterial stiffness in older adults: longitudinal results of the SAPALDIA cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: longitudinal analyses of physical activity (PA) and arterial stiffness in populations of older adults are scarce. We examined associations between long-term change of PA and arterial stiff
Intermittency ratio: a metric reflecting short-term temporal variations of transportation noise exposure (Publications)
Most environmental epidemiology studies model health effects of noise by regressing on acoustic exposure metrics that are based on the concept of average energetic dose over longer time periods (i.e.
Carotid stiffness and physical activity in elderly: a short report of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in the general population. While smaller studies in specified groups (highly trained versus untrained indiv
Comparing land use regression and dispersion modelling to assess residential exposure to ambient air pollution for epidemiological studies (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Land-use regression (LUR) and dispersion models (DM) are commonly used for estimating individual air pollution exposure in population studies. Few comparisons have however been made of the
Atherogenesis in youth - early consequence of adolescent smoking (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoking is a prevalent risk behavior among adolescents and tracks into adulthood. Little is known on the early impact of smoking on the vasculature in adolescence, although smoki
