Empirical spatial air pollution models have been applied extensively to assess exposure in epidemiological studies with increasingly sophisticated and complex statistical algorithms beyond ordinary linear regression. However, different rarely compared terms of their predictive ability. This study 16 predict annual average fine particle (PM2.5) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations across Europe. The evaluated included stepwise regression, regularization techniques machine learning methods....
To investigate the associations between air pollution and mortality, focusing on below current European Union, United States, World Health Organization standards guidelines. Pooled analysis of eight cohorts. Multicentre project Effects Low-Level Air Pollution: A Study in Europe (ELAPSE) six countries. 325 367 adults from general population recruited mostly 1990s or 2000s with detailed lifestyle data. Stratified Cox proportional hazard models were used to analyse mortality. Western...
BackgroundLong-term exposure to outdoor air pollution increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, but evidence is unclear on health effects pollutant concentrations lower than current EU and US standards WHO guideline limits. Within multicentre study Effects Low-Level Air Pollution: A Study in Europe (ELAPSE), we investigated associations long-term exposures fine particulate matter (PM2·5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), black carbon, warm-season ozone (O3) with incidence stroke acute coronary...
Ambient air pollution has been associated with lung cancer, but the shape of exposure-response function - especially at low exposure levels is not well described. The aim this study was to address relationship between long-term low-level and cancer incidence.The "Effects Low-level Air Pollution: a Study in Europe" (ELAPSE) collaboration pools seven cohorts from across Europe. We developed hybrid models combining monitoring, land use data, satellite observations, dispersion model estimates...
Epidemiological studies suggest that residing close to green space reduce mortality rates. We investigated the relationship between long-term exposure residential and non-accidental cardio-respiratory mortality. linked Belgian 2001 census population register follow-up data (2001–2011) among adults aged 30 years older in five largest urban areas Belgium (n = 2,185,170 mean time 9.4 years). Residential addresses were available at baseline. Exposure was defined as 1) surrounding greenness...
Background Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution has been linked childhood-onset asthma, although evidence is still insufficient. Within the multicentre project Effects of Low-Level Air Pollution: A Study in Europe (ELAPSE), we examined associations long-term exposures particulate matter with a diameter <2.5 µm (PM 2.5 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and black carbon (BC) asthma incidence adults. Methods We pooled data from three cohorts Denmark Sweden information on hospital diagnoses....
Air pollution has been suggested as a risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but evidence is sparse and inconsistent.We examined the association between long-term exposure to low-level air COPD incidence.Within 'Effects of Low-Level Pollution: A Study in Europe' (ELAPSE) study, we pooled data from three cohorts, Denmark Sweden, with information on hospital discharge diagnoses. Hybrid land use regression models were used estimate annual mean concentrations particulate...
Inconsistent associations between long-term exposure to particles with an aerodynamic diameter
The association between long-term exposure to air pollution and mortality from cardiorespiratory diseases is well established, yet the evidence for other remains limited.To examine associations of with diabetes, dementia, psychiatric disorders, chronic kidney disease (CKD), asthma, acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI), as all-natural causes in Danish nationwide administrative cohort.We followed all residents aged ≥ 30 years (3,083,227) Denmark 1 January 2000 until 31 December 2017....
Particulate matter air pollution and diesel engine exhaust have been classified as carcinogenic for lung cancer, yet few studies explored associations with liver cancer. We used six European adult cohorts which were recruited between 1985 2005, pooled within the "Effects of low-level pollution: A study in Europe" (ELAPSE) project, followed incidence cancer until 2011 to 2015. The annual average exposure nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ), particulate diameter <2.5 μm (PM2.5 black carbon (BC),...
We developed Europe-wide models of long-term exposure to eight elements (copper, iron, potassium, nickel, sulfur, silicon, vanadium, and zinc) in particulate matter with diameter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) using standardized measurements for one-year periods between October 2008 April 2011 19 study areas across Europe, supervised linear regression (SLR) random forest (RF) algorithms. Potential predictor variables were obtained from satellites, chemical transport models, land-use, traffic, industrial...
Abstract Background Living in greener areas is associated with slower cognitive decline and reduced dementia risk among older adults, but the evidence neurodegenerative disease mortality scarce. We studied association between residential surrounding greenness adults. Methods used data from 2001 Belgian census linked to register during 2001–2014. included individuals aged 60 years or residing five largest urban at baseline (2001). Exposure was assessed using 2006 Normalized Difference...
