We examined the association of long‐term exposure to air pollution and road traffic noise with incident heart failure (HF). Methods And ResultsUsing data on female nurses from the Danish Nurse Cohort (aged >44 years), we investigated associations between 3‐year mean exposures to air pollution and road traffic noise and incident HF using Cox regression models,… Continue reading Long‐Term Exposure to Air #Pollution, Road #Traffic Noise, and #Heart Failure Incidence: The Danish Nurse Cohort

The relation between #oxytocin receptor gene polymorphisms, adult attachment and #Instagram sociability: An exploratory analysis
AbstractOxytocin is a primary neuropeptide which coordinates affiliative behavior. Previous researchers pointed to the association between genetic vulnerability on Oxytocin Receptor Gene (OXTR) and environmental factors (e.g., social relationships) to comprehend social behavior. Although an extensive knowledge of in-person social interactions has been obtained, little is known about online sociability. A gene-environment perspective is adopted… Continue reading The relation between #oxytocin receptor gene polymorphisms, adult attachment and #Instagram sociability: An exploratory analysis
Urinary #Stress Hormones, #Hypertension, and Cardiovascular Events: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Psychosocial stress is a key contributing factor to the pathogenesis of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. We examined the association of urinary stress hormone levels with incident hypertension and cardiovascular events. This prospective cohort study included 412 adults (age 48–87 years) free of hypertension from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis with measurements of urinary stress hormones… Continue reading Urinary #Stress Hormones, #Hypertension, and Cardiovascular Events: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Residential exposure to transportation #noise in Denmark and incidence of #dementia: national cohort study
To investigate the association between long term residential exposure to road traffic and railway noise and risk of incident dementia. Design Nationwide prospective register based cohort study. Setting Denmark. Participants 1 938 994 adults aged ≥60 years living in Denmark between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2017. Main outcome measures Incident cases of all cause dementia… Continue reading Residential exposure to transportation #noise in Denmark and incidence of #dementia: national cohort study
#COVID-19 Transmission Dynamics Among Close #Contacts of Index Patients With COVID-19A Population-Based Cohort Study in Zhejiang Province, China
Much remains unknown about the transmission dynamics of COVID-19. How the severity of the index case and timing of exposure is associated with disease in close contacts of index patients with COVID-19 and clinical presentation in those developing disease is not well elucidated. Objectives To investigate the association between the timing of exposure and development… Continue reading #COVID-19 Transmission Dynamics Among Close #Contacts of Index Patients With COVID-19A Population-Based Cohort Study in Zhejiang Province, China
Association of poor #housing conditions with #COVID-19 incidence and mortality across US counties
Poor housing conditions have been linked with worse health outcomes and infectious disease spread. Since the relationship of poor housing conditions with incidence and mortality of COVID-19 is unknown, we investigated the association between poor housing condition and COVID-19 incidence and mortality in US counties. MethodsWe conducted cross-sectional analysis of county-level data from the US… Continue reading Association of poor #housing conditions with #COVID-19 incidence and mortality across US counties
#Cognitive stimulation in the workplace, plasma proteins, and risk of #dementia: three analyses of population cohort studies
To examine the association between cognitively stimulating work and subsequent risk of dementia and to identify protein pathways for this association. Design Multicohort study with three sets of analyses. Setting United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States. Participants Three associations were examined: cognitive stimulation and dementia risk in 107 896 participants from seven population based prospective… Continue reading #Cognitive stimulation in the workplace, plasma proteins, and risk of #dementia: three analyses of population cohort studies
The association between occupational #asbestos exposure with the risk of incidence and mortality from #prostate #cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
There is conflicting evidence on the association between asbestos exposure and prostate cancer (PCa). Two recent meta-analyses have claimed that exposure is associated with increased PCa incidence and mortality, but they suffer from some methodological flaws. Given the potential importance of this research question, we aimed to perform a methodologically sound systematic review and meta-analysis… Continue reading The association between occupational #asbestos exposure with the risk of incidence and mortality from #prostate #cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Long-term night #shift work is associated with the risk of atrial #fibrillation and #coronary heart disease
The aim of this study was to test whether current and past night shift work was associated with incident atrial fibrillation (AF) and whether this association was modified by genetic vulnerability. Its associations with coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and heart failure (HF) were measured as a secondary aim. Methods and resultsThis cohort study included… Continue reading Long-term night #shift work is associated with the risk of atrial #fibrillation and #coronary heart disease
