Land Use Regression (LUR) models have been used increasingly for modeling small-scale spatial variation in air pollution concentrations and estimating individual exposure participants of cohort studies. Within the ESCAPE project, PM(2.5), PM(2.5) absorbance, PM(10), PM(coarse) were measured 20 European study areas at sites per area. GIS-derived predictor variables (e.g., traffic intensity, population, land-use) evaluated to model annual average each The median explained variance (R(2)) was...
Land Use Regression (LUR) models have been used to describe and model spatial variability of annual mean concentrations traffic related pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2), oxides (NOx) particulate matter (PM). No yet published elemental composition. As part the ESCAPE project, we measured composition in both PM10 PM2.5 fraction sizes at 20 sites each study areas across Europe. LUR for eight a priori selected elements (copper (Cu), iron (Fe), potassium (K), nickel (Ni), sulfur (S),...
Long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution has typically been estimated on the aggregate level, and more individual measures of are needed. We investigated associations with lung function residential in early life, total lifetime, days before test.In 2001-2002, spirometry was performed 2307 9- 10-year-old children who had lived Oslo, Norway, since birth. Outdoor for each child assessed by EPISODE dispersion model, calculating hourly concentrations nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter...
Land use regression models (LUR) frequently leave-one-out-cross-validation (LOOCV) to assess model fit, but recent studies suggested that this may overestimate predictive ability in independent data sets. Our aim was evaluate LUR for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM) components exploiting the high correlation between concentrations of PM metrics NO2. have been developed NO2, PM2.5 absorbance, copper (Cu) PM10 based on 20 sites each study areas ESCAPE project. Models were...
Abstract Background The Nordic countries represent a unique case study for the COVID-19 pandemic due to socioeconomic and cultural similarities, high-quality comparable administrative register data notable differences in mitigation policies during pandemic. We aimed compare weekly excess mortality across three full years 2020–2022. Methods Using on all-cause from official registers Denmark, Finland, Norway Sweden, we employed time series regression models assess developments within each...
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic introduced complexities that were likely more demanding for some groups, such as children and adolescents, especially those with pre-existing mental health diagnoses. This study examines long-term patterns of psychiatric healthcare use among this vulnerable group, providing insights into shifts in during a global crisis. Methods We data from the primary specialist registries available Norwegian emergency preparedness register (Beredt C19) to estimate...
To explore various contributors to people's reporting of self reported air pollution problems in area living, including GIS-modeled pollution, and investigate whether those with respiratory or other chronic diseases tend over-report problems, compared healthy people. Cross-sectional data from the Oslo Health Study (2000–2001) were linked Norwegian Institute Air Research. Multivariate regression analyses performed. 14 294 persons aged 30, 40, 45, 60 75 years old complete information on...
Abstract
Abstract While there is substantial evidence on excess mortality in the first two years of COVID-19 pandemic, no study has conducted a cause-specific analysis for whole period 2020–2022 across multiple countries. We examined during Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden—four countries with similar demographics welfare provisions, which implemented different pandemic response policies. To this end, we utilized nationwide register-based information annual deaths stratified by age sex, applied...
Objectives It is unclear whether maternal air pollution exposure during pregnancy induces changes in the developing respiratory system of a child and it has consequences for health early childhood. We investigated associations between to moderate levels childhood lower tract infections (LRTI) wheezing. Methods This study used subgroup 17 533 participants Norwegian Mother Child Cohort Study. Air at residential addresses were estimated using land use regression models, back-extrapolated period...

We assessed prevalences of symptoms asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic eczema their associations with environmental exposures among school children living in high altitude rural Tibet. After watching an asthma symptom video, 2.8% the reported ever wheezing at rest 1.4% severe wheezing. Residential dampness problems were only exposure that was clearly associated children's (odds ratios 1.3 to 2.5), even if several other common.
