By 2050, nearly 70% of the global population is projected to live in urban areas. Because environments we inhabit affect our health, and transport designs that promote healthy living are needed.We estimated number premature deaths preventable under compliance with international exposure recommendations for physical activity (PA), air pollution, noise, heat, access green spaces.We developed applied Urban TranspOrt Planning Health Impact Assessment (UTOPHIA) tool Barcelona, Spain.

ChatGPT is a highly advanced AI language model that has gained widespread popularity. It trained to understand and generate human used in various applications, including automated customer service, chatbots, content generation. While it the potential offer many benefits, there are also concerns about its for misuse, particularly relation providing inappropriate or harmful safety-related information. To explore ChatGPT's (specifically version 3.5) capabilities advice, multidisciplinary...
Physical activity has been widely associated with beneficial health effects. The use of electric-assist bicycles (e-bikes) can lead to increased or decreased physical activity, depending on the transport mode substituted. This study aimed compare levels e-bikers and conventional bicycle users (cyclists) as well across e-bike user groups based substituted by e-bike. related parameters were analysed. Data from longitudinal on-line survey PASTA project used. recruited over 10,000 participants...
Introduction Active commuting — walking and bicycling for travel to and/or from work or educational addresses may facilitate daily, routine physical activity. Several studies have investigated the relationship between active stress; however, there are no examining solely bicycle perceived stress, that account environmental determinants of stress. The current study evaluated commuting, among working studying adults in a dense urban setting, Methods A cross-sectional was performed with 788 who...
Only one-third of the European population meets minimum recommended levels physical activity (PA). Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases. Walking and cycling transport (active mobility, AM) are well suited to provide regular PA. The research project Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA) pursues following aims: (1) investigate correlates interrelations AM, PA, air pollution crash risk; (2) evaluate effectiveness selected interventions...
ABSTRACT Introduction When physical activity is promoted in urban outdoor settings (e.g., walking and cycling), individuals are also exposed to air pollution. It has been reported that short-term lung function increases as a response activity, but this beneficial effect hampered when elevated pollution concentrations observed. Our study assessed the long-term impact of on pulmonary health benefit activity. Methods Wearable sensors were used monitor levels (SenseWear) exposure black carbon...
Ambient air pollution has been linked to stroke, but few studies have examined in detail stroke subtypes and confounding by road traffic noise, which was recently associated with stroke. Here we the association between long-term exposure incidence of (overall, ischemic, hemorrhagic), adjusting for noise. In a nationwide Danish Nurse Cohort consisting 23,423 nurses, recruited 1993 or 1999, identified 1,078 incident cases (944 ischemic 134 hemorrhagic) up December 31, 2014, defined as...
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....
The link between exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality from cardiorespiratory diseases is well established, while evidence on neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's Disease (PD) remains limited.We examined the association long-term PD in seven European cohorts.Within project 'Effects of Low-Level Air Pollution: A Study Europe' (ELAPSE), we pooled data cohorts among six countries. Annual mean residential concentrations fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide...
Rationale: Ambient air pollution exposure has been linked to mortality from chronic cardiorespiratory diseases, while evidence on respiratory infections remains more limited. Objectives: We examined the association between long-term and pneumonia-related in adults a pool of eight European cohorts. Methods: Within multicenter project ELAPSE (Effects Low-Level Air Pollution: A Study Europe), we pooled data cohorts among six countries. Annual mean residential concentrations 2010 for fine...
Early ecological studies have suggested links between air pollution and risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but evidence from individual-level cohort is still sparse. We examined whether long-term exposure to associated with COVID-19 who most susceptible.
Physical activity and ventilation rates have an effect on individual's dose may be important to consider in exposure–response relationships; however, these factors are often ignored environmental epidemiology studies. The aim of this study was evaluate methods estimating the inhaled air pollution understand variability absence a true gold standard metric. Five types were identified: (1) using (physical) types, (2) based energy expenditure, METs (metabolic equivalents task), oxygen...
Reduction of sedentary time and an increase in physical activity offer potential to improve public health. However, quantifying behaviour under real world conditions is a major challenge no standard good practice available. Our aim was compare the results obtained with self-reported instrument (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ)) wearable sensor (SenseWear) repeated measures study design. Healthy adults (41 Antwerp, 41 Barcelona 40 London) wore SenseWear armband for seven...
