Abstract Background There is limited information on risk factors for eczema in adults. Recent evidence suggests that air pollution may be associated with increased incidence of We aimed to assess this possible association. Methods Ambient exposures (distance from a major road, nitrogen dioxide [NO 2 ], fine particulate matter an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm [PM 2.5 ]) were assessed the residential address Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study participants at ages 43 and 53 years. Eczema (onset...
In recent years reported cases of Buruli ulcer, caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans , have increased substantially in Victoria, Australia, with the epidemic also expanding geographically. To develop an understanding how M . circulates environment and transmits to humans we analyzed environmental samples collected from 115 properties ulcer postcode-matched control properties, for presence Environmental factors associated odds at a property included certain native plant species vegetation...
To examine protective and risk factors for Buruli ulcer (BU), we conducted a case-control study of 245 adult BU cases 481 postcode-matched controls across BU-endemic areas Victoria, Australia. We calculated age- sex-adjusted odds ratios socio-environmental, host, behavioral associated with by using conditional logistic regression. Odds were >2-fold persons diabetes mellitus working outdoors who had soil contact in (compared indoor work) but lower among bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccinations....
Objective: Early life tobacco smoke exposure may influence asthma, lung function and growth into adolescence. We aimed to determine the associations between perinatal asthma up 18 years of age. Methods: prospectively recorded parental smoking measured respiratory outcomes at 12 in Melbourne Atopy Cohort Study (MACS), a longitudinal birth cohort. Multiple logistic regression was used analyse (n = 370) 411). linear investigate relationship and: (12 years) (between years). Results: At years,...
Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Domestic water with high mineral content (hard water) risk factor for eczema in children, but this association has not been assessed adults.To examine the between domestic hard supply and prevalence incidence adults aged 40-69 years contextual effect outcomes by postcode UK.We used data from UK Biobank study collected 2006-10 (baseline) 2013-14 (follow-up). at baseline (2006-10) follow-up (2013-14) (new onset follow-up) were determined...
Abstract Background It has been hypothesized that n −3 PUFA in breast milk may assist immune and lung development. There are very limited data on possible long‐term effects allergic disease function. The aim was to investigate associations of −6 levels colostrum with function at ages 12 18 years. Methods Polyunsaturated fatty acids were measured 194 samples 118 three‐month expressed from mothers children enrolled the Melbourne Atopy Cohort ( MACS ) Study, a high‐risk birth cohort study....
The association between grass pollen exposure and early markers of asthma exacerbations such as lung function changes increase in airway inflammation is limited. We investigated the associations short-term a community-based sample, whether any were modified by current asthma, hay fever, sensitization, age, other environmental factors.Cross-sectional analyses data from Melbourne Atopy Cohort Study (MACS) participants (n = 936). Lung was assessed using spirometry. Airway fractional exhaled...
