OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of circulating levels C-reactive protein, a sensitive systemic marker inflammation, with different components metabolic syndrome. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Total cholesterol (TC), HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, BMI , and prevalence diabetes hypertension were assessed in 747 men 956 women aged 18-89 years who participating population-based National Health Nutrition Survey, which was carried out former West Germany 1987-1988. RESULTS: There...
Aims: This study assessed the effect of alcohol intake (up to 40 g/d) on blood apolipoproteins (APOs) concentration in human intervention studies.Additionally, it evaluates whether APOs differs depending sex. Data synthesis:The literature search was performed PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web Science databases.The Cochrane risk bias tool applied.A total 5559 articles were identified, yielding 80 for full-text screening.Twenty-five included data extraction.Compared no intake, up a dose g/d...
The very rapid worldwide increase in mobile phone use the last decade has generated considerable interest possible health effects of exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields. A multinational case-control study, INTERPHONE, was set-up investigate whether increases risk cancer and, more specifically, RF fields emitted by phones are carcinogenic. study focused on tumours arising tissues most exposed from phones: glioma, meningioma, acoustic neurinoma and parotid gland tumours. In addition a...
The widespread use of cellular telephones has generated concern about possible adverse health effects, particularly brain tumors. In this population-based case-control study carried out in three regions Germany, all incident cases glioma and meningioma among patients aged 30–69 years were ascertained during 2000–2003. Controls matched on age, gender, region randomly drawn from population registries. total, 366 cases, 381 1,494 controls interviewed. Overall a phone was not associated with...
We conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the relation between level of total trihalomethanes in drinking water and adverse birth outcomes. The population comprised women residing an area with municipal surface who had singleton Nova Scotia January 1, 1988, December 31, 1995, or pregnancy termination for major fetal anomaly. found little association trihalomethane outcomes related weight gestational age, but we elevated relative risk stillbirths average levels during 100...
This study assessed the role of parental infection status in transmission Helicobacter pylori a large population-based sample preschool-aged children. The subjects, who lived Ulm, Germany, and two nearby communities, were screened for school fitness between January July 1997. Their H. was determined by 13C-urea breath test. Of 1522 eligible children, 1221 (80.2%) participated study. Crude prevalence children 11.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 9.5-13.3) 36.4% their parents CI, 33.5-39.4)....
Objective: The aim of this first phase a cross-sectional study from Germany was to investigate whether proximity residence mobile phone base stations as well risk perception is associated with health complaints. Methods: researchers conducted population-based, multi-phase, within the context large panel survey regularly carried out by private research institute in Germany. In initial phase, reported on paper, 30 047 persons total 51 444 who took part nationwide also answered questions how...
Aim: To validate short term recall of mobile phone use within Interphone, an international collaborative case control study tumours the brain, acoustic nerve, and salivary glands related to telephone use. Methods: Mobile 672 volunteers in 11 countries was recorded by operators or through software modified phones, compared recalled six months later using Interphone questionnaire. Agreement between actual analysed both categorical continuous measures number duration calls. Results:...
The aim of the cross-sectional study was to test hypothesis that exposure continuous low-level radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) emitted from mobile phone base stations related various health disturbances.For investigation people living mainly in urban regions were selected a nationwide 2006. In total, 3526 persons responded questionnaire (response rate 85%). For assessment dosimeter measuring different RF-EMF frequencies used. Participants answered postal on how affected...
Background Fever and infections are common events during pregnancy, have been shown to be associated with neurodevelopmental impairment in the offspring. The evidence relation attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) is, however, nonexistent for fever limited infections. aim of this study was therefore investigate impact these exposures on occurrence offspring, considering gestational timing as well intensity exposure. Methods conducted within Danish National Birth Cohort, using...
Food intake choice and amount might change with stress. However, this has not been examined among Egyptian students. We students' stress levels, its correlation their consumption of a range food groups, adherence to dietary guidelines. A cross sectional survey (N = 2810 undergraduates at 11 faculties Assiut University, Egypt) assessed two composite pattern scores (one unhealthy: sweets, cakes, snacks; healthy one: fruits vegetables), indicators eating (subjective importance eating; guideline...
BackgroundHelicobacter pylori is among the most common infections in humans and has been recognized as major cause of various gastroduodenal diseases. There limited knowledge, however, on prevalence determinants this infection children. We addressed these issues a population-based cross-sectional study Southern Germany.
Objectives: The output power of a mobile phone is directly related to its radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic field strength, and may theoretically vary substantially in different networks use circumstances due control technologies. To improve indices RF exposure for epidemiological studies, we assessed determinants multinational study. Methods: More than 500 volunteers 12 countries used Global System Mobile communications software-modified phones (GSM SMPs) approximately 1 month each. SMPs...
Background: Good sleep quality is essential for recovery. The risk factors of disorders have been extensively investigated, but there sparse information on the association socioeconomic with a person's quality. aim present analysis to investigate this association, taking particularly effect health confounders into consideration. Methods: data were extracted from cross-sectional QUEBEB Study. In total, study sample consisted 3281 participants (1817 women and 1464 men, aged 16–72 years). Here...

Knowledge on compliance with governmental recommendations in combating the spread of COVID-19 different groups is important to target efforts. This study investigated adherence implemented measures and its predictors Danish university students, a not-at-risk group for mortality normally characterized by many social contacts. As part International Student Wellbeing Study, survey socio-demographic situation, information, living arrangements, lifestyle behaviors, stress, questions about...
The study investigates the quality of life, loneliness, and social interactions older people before after moving to a senior village using WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire specific questions on relations participation. Baseline included 64 aged 61-90 years, while follow-up 34 adults 62-89 years. analyzed differences in QoL between baseline Paired-samples t-test, loneliness McNemar test. Result showed that physical health, psychological, environment scores increased, relationships score declined...
