Abstract The long-tern implications of stress during university for individuals’ mental health are not well understood so far. Hence, we aimed to examine the potential effect while studying at on depression in later life. We analysed data from two waves longitudinal Study Occupational Allergy Risks. Using ‘work overload’ and ‘proving oneself’ scales Trier Inventory Chronic Stress Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2), participants reported chronic (2007–2009, mean age 22.2 years, T1)...
The rapid increase in mobile phone use young people has generated concern about possible health effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF), extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF). MOBI-Kids, a multinational case-control study, investigates the potential childhood and adolescent EMF from communications technologies on brain tumor risk 14 countries. which aims include approximately 1,000 cases aged 10-24 years two individually matched controls for each case, follows common...
<h3>Objectives</h3> We scrutinised the association of private use household sprays and disinfectants with asthma incidence in young adults transition from school to working life. <h3>Methods</h3> Between 2007 2009,2051 aged 19–24 years living two major German cities took part Study on Occupational Allergy Risks II. Self-reported exposure was characterised according a composite score for frequency as no (score=0), low (score between 1 median), medium median 90th percentile) high above...
In recent decades, the possibility that use of mobile communicating devices, particularly wireless (mobile and cordless) phones, may increase brain tumour risk, has been a concern, given considerable in their by young people. MOBI-Kids, 14-country (Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain) case-control study, was conducted to evaluate whether phone (and resulting exposure radiofrequency (RF) extremely low...
Antibiotic resistance has become a serious global health threat. Wastewater treatment plants may unintentional collection points for bacteria resistant to antimicrobials. Little is known about the transmission of antibiotic from wastewater humans, most importantly plant workers and residents living in vicinity. We aim deliver precise information methods used AWARE (Antibiotic Resistance Wastewater: Transmission Risks Employees Residents around Treatment Plants) study. Within study, we...
Abstract The growing popularity of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) among Indonesian youth presents a new public health challenge in country with one the highest tobacco burdens globally. While control regulations have been implemented, e-cigarettes remain largely unregulated, raising concerns about their impacts and appeal. This study explores prevalence, determinants perceptions e-cigarette use high school university students Indonesia, providing critical insights to inform effective...
The COVID-19 pandemic faced healthcare workers (HCWs) worldwide with major challenges, which caused psychological stress and an increased health risk. This study aims to develop evaluate a guideline for HCWs prevent consequences due work-related factors during pandemic. As part of preliminary phase the study, systematic literature review was conducted. Based on review, qualitative interviews were conducted (n = 20) about stressors (study 1). A prevention in developed based interviews. In 2,...
Abstract Introduction We used data from MOBI-Kids, a 14-country international collaborative case–control study of brain tumors (BTs), to clinical characteristics the in older children (10 years or older), adolescents and young adults (up age 24). Methods Information records was obtained for 899 BT cases, including signs symptoms, symptom onset, diagnosis date, tumor type location. Results Overall, 64% all were low-grade, 76% neuroepithelial 62% gliomas. There more males than females among...
Phenotypes of asthma and allergic diseases are mainly studied separately for children adults. To explore the role adolescence young adulthood, we investigated symptom trajectories at transition from childhood into adulthood.Latent class analysis (LCA) was conducted in a population initially recruited German arm Phase II International Study Asthma Allergies Childhood followed-up three times until their early 30s (N=2267). Indicators included LCA were 12-month prevalences symptoms wheeze,...

A search according PRISMA was conducted 5 August 2021 using databases PubMed Central APA PsychInfo. included studies investigated pandemic. In addition, we performed risk bias analysis assess...
Studies elucidating health-related information and special needs of Syrian migrants living in Germany are urgently required. However, data is scarce finding appropriate sampling strategies to obtain representative results challenging. In order increase survey response hard-to-reach populations, new methods were developed. One them respondent-driven (RDS), a network technique. We aimed assess if better approach recruit for health research than classical random via the population registry. A...
To analyze the association of occupational disinfectants use with asthma and wheezing in young professionals.Three hundred sixty-five participants from German Study on Occupational Allergy Risks II aged 20 to 24 years working cleaning or health services answered a questionnaire respiratory health, exposure disinfectants, potential confounders. By logistic regression, we calculated between duration doctor-diagnosed asthma, current wheezing.Individuals exposed for more than 12 months had...

To investigate whether wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) workers and residents living in close proximity to a WWTP have elevated carriage rates of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales, as compared the general population. From 2018 2020, we carried out cross-sectional study Germany, Netherlands, Romania among (N = 344), nearby (living ≤ 300 m away from WWTPs; N 431) distant ≥ 1000 reference group; 1165). We collected information on potential confounders via questionnaire. Culture participants'...
The effect of shift work on impairment cognition in later life has not yet been sufficiently investigated. Therefore, we aimed at testing the feasibility a large-scale epidemiologic study examining this putative association pilot study. Between January and April 2017, cross-sectional invited random sample 425 former current employees German university hospital aged 55 years older to undergo cognitive test battery (including Repeatable Battery for Assessment Neuropsychological Status, Trail...
Environmental exposure to lead substantially decreased over the past decades. However, soil of former mining areas still contains high levels. We therefore performed a biomonitoring study among children living in two communities Lower Saxony, Germany. In these communities, levels 1000 30,000 mg/kg. Overall, 75 (6-10 years age) attending primary schools area took part study. Parents completed short questionnaire on sociodemographics, and provided capillary whole blood samples. analysed using...
