Purpose: To determine the relationship between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ocular outcomes such as visual impairment age-related eye disease. Methods: Baseline data were used from Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. The Comprehensive Cohort consisted of 30,097 adults ages 45 to 85 years. Annual mean PM2.5 levels (µg/m3) for each participant's postal code estimated satellite data. Ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide also estimated. Binocular presenting acuity was measured using...
To determine whether self-reported race/ethnicity is associated with intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma to explore any associations are due social, behavioral, genetic, or health differences.
To understand the relationship between visual impairment, self-reported eye disease, and onset of balance problems.Population-based prospective cohort study.Baseline 3-year follow-up data were used from Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. The Comprehensive Cohort included 30,097 adults aged 45 to 85 years recruited 11 sites across 7 provinces. Balance was measured using 1-leg test. Those who could not stand 1 leg for at least 60 seconds failed Presenting acuity Early Treatment Diabetic...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the association alcohol consumption with intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma assess whether any associations are modified by a polygenic risk score (PRS). Methods: Cross-sectional analysis data from Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging Comprehensive Cohort, consisting 30,097 adults ages 45 85 years, done. Data were collected 2012 2015. Alcohol frequency (never, occasional, weekly, daily) type (red wine, white beer, liquor, other) measured...
Abstract Background We examined the cost-effectiveness of providing systematic smoking cessation interventions to oncology patients at point-of-care. Methods A decision analytic model was completed from healthcare payer’s perspective and included all incident cancer cases involving who smoke in New Brunswick, Canada ( n = 1040), site stratifications, risks mortality, continued smoking, treatment failure over one year. Usual care (no support) compared standard Ottawa Model for Smoking...
Our goal was to explore the longitudinal association between vision-related variables and incident depressive symptoms in a community-dwelling sample of older adults examine whether sex, education, or hearing loss act as effect modifiers.A 3-year prospective cohort study performed using data from Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging consisting 30,097 individuals aged 45-85 years. Visual acuity evaluated with habitual distance correction an illuminated Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy...
To understand the relationship between ambient air pollution and onset of balance problems.Population-based prospective cohort study.Baseline 3-year follow-up data were used from Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. The Comprehensive Cohort included adults aged 45-85 years old recruited 11 sites across 7 provinces. Data came Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium. Annual mean levels ozone, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide for each participant's postal code estimated...
Purpose To examine the longitudinal association between vision-related variables and 3-year change in cognitive test scores a community-dwelling sample of adults to explore whether sex, education, or hearing loss act as effect modifiers.Methods Data came from two waves population-based prospective cohort study (Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging), which consisted 30,097 randomly selected people aged 45–85 years 7 Canadian provinces. Visual impairment (VI) was defined binocular presenting...
Studies examining the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele and glaucoma are inconsistent, which could be due to interactions with other factors. We examined relationship between APOE intraocular pressure in a large, population-based random sample explored whether interacted systemic hypertension.Data came from Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, study that included 24,655 adults ages 45 85 years old European ancestry cohort. genotypes were derived single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs429358...
Purpose: Confounding is an important problem in observational research. Improper modeling of the confounder will lead to residual confounding that may distort results and impact inferences. An example this be presented from research on age-related macular degeneration depression.Methods: A 3-year prospective cohort study was performed using data Canadian Longitudinal Study Aging consisting 30,097 individuals aged 45–85 years. Incident depression assessed Center for Epidemiologic Studies...
The SMART Quit Clinic Program (FAHSAI Clinic) has been implemented in Thailand since 2010; however, it remains unclear whether the benefits gained from this program justify its costs. We assessed cost-effectiveness compared to usual care a population of Thai smokers with cardiovascular disease (CVD) societal perspective.We conducted cost-utility analysis using Markov model simulate lifetime costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) aged ≥35 receiving smoking cessation services offered...
