This study aimed to analyze trends in the 10 leading causes of death Korea from 1983 2012. Death rates were derived Korean Statistics Information Service database and age-adjusted 2010 population. Joinpoint regression analysis was used identify points when statistically significant changes occurred trends. Between 2012, age-standardized rate (ASR) all decreased by 61.6% for men 51.2% women. ASRs malignant neoplasms, diabetes mellitus, transport accidents increased initially before...
Background: There are increasing concerns over adverse effects of prenatal phthalate exposure on the neurodevelopment infants.Objectives: Our goal was to explore association between di(2-ethylhexyl) and dibutyl Mental Psychomotor Developmental Indices (MDI PDI, respectively) Bayley Scales Infant Development at 6 months, as part Mothers Children's Environmental Health Study.Methods: Between 2006 2009, 460 mother–infant pairs from Seoul, Cheonan, Ulsan, Korea, participated. Prenatal...

Department Preventive Medicine, Dankook University College Korea —We conducted this study to examine the relationship between shift work duration metabolic risk factors cardiovascular disease among workers. The population consisted 226 female hospital nurses 134 male workers at a firm manufacturing diapers feminine hygiene materials, whose mean ages were 28.5 yr for 29.1 fasting blood sugar level, serum...
Manganese is an essential trace element and common component of water, soil, air. Prenatal manganese exposure may affect fetal infantile neurodevelopment, but reports on in utero infant neurodevelopment are rare.This study was conducted to investigate a relationship between maternal blood level infants at 6 months age.Data were obtained from the Mothers Children's Environmental Health (MOCEH) birth cohort study. The population included 232 pairs pregnant women their age. Maternal measured...
Trihalomethanes (THM), a major class of disinfection by-products, are widespread and associated with adverse health effects. We conducted global evaluation current THM regulations concentrations in drinking water.
The MOCEH study is a prospective hospital- and community-based cohort designed to collect information related environmental exposures (chemical, biological, nutritional, physical, psychosocial) during pregnancy childhood examine how exposure pollutants affects growth, development, disease. network includes one coordinating center, four local centers responsible for recruiting pregnant women, evaluation (a nutrition bio-repository neurocognitive development environment assessment center). At...
"Healthy Twin" is a twin family study extension of the existing Korean Twin-Family Register. Healthy Twin recruits adult like-sex twins over age 30 and their members. protocols are primarily tailored to quantitative trait loci complex traits as well role environment in etiology diseases. A full-length survey underway, including questionnaires, health examinations collection biological specimens. So far, 820 individuals (169 pairs families) have participated 1068 individual (608 pairs)...
Mercury (Hg) is toxic to both the reproductive and nervous systems. In addition, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), which conjugate a variety of electrophilic compounds, are involved in detoxification Hg.In this study we examined association between prenatal exposure Hg birth weight as well influence GST polymorphisms.The total concentration maternal cord blood was measured from 417 Korean women newborns Mothers Children's Environmental Health 2006 2008. Information on collected patients'...
Background Concerns have developed for the possible negative health effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure to children's brains. The purpose this longitudinal study was investigate association between mobile phone use and symptoms Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) considering modifying effect lead exposure. Methods A total 2,422 children at 27 elementary schools in 10 Korean cities were examined followed up 2 years later. Parents or guardians...
Abstract Background: This study aimed to determine the serum concentrations of CA125 and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in patients with ovarian cancer, evaluate sensitivity specificity these biomarkers for differentiating between benign gynecological disease those when used alone combination a Korean population. Methods: We consecutively recruited 159 women an adnexal mass, including 78 cancer. A total 224 healthy served as controls. The HE4 were analyzed using immunochemiluminescence...
Hospitalized patients are vulnerable to sleep disturbances because of environmental stresses including noise. While most previous studies on hospital noise and have been performed for medical machines in intensive care units, there is a limited data hospitalized wardrooms. The purpose present study was measure level wardrooms, identify patient-perceived sources noise, examine the association between levels patients.Noise dosimeters were used 29 inpatient wardrooms at university hospital....
Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element for humans and animals, but excess intake of Mn can lead to adverse developmental outcome. Few studies have investigated the effects deficiency or on human foetus. In this study, we assessed quantitative relationship between maternal blood birth weight a newborn. We performed analysis 331 full-term, live singleton mother-infant pairs enrolled from July 2007 December 2009 in Mother Children's Environmental Health (MOCEH) study Korea. A...
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...
