Potential impact fractions of body mass index reductions on the non-communicable disease burden in Belgium using G-computation
diseases (NCD s) in Europe, affecting almost 60% of all adults. In Belgium, as in many high-income countries, average body mass index (BMI) has significantly increased over the past decades. Tackling obesity ...
Aluminium intake through the consumption of selected baby foods and risk characterization in a population of Brazilian infants aged 0 to 36 months
for the total population, calculated using mean Al concentrations, were estimated to be 0.184 mg/kg body weight (bw) per week, whilst at 95th percentile, the obtained value was 0.474 mg/kg bw per week. ...
Assessment of information as regards the toxicity of T‐2 and HT‐2 toxin for ruminants
established for the sum of T2 and HT2 of 0.3 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day, based on studies with calves and lambs. The CONTAM Panel noted that the effects observed in nutritionally challenged heifers and ewes ...
Health care costs and lost productivity costs related to excess weight in Belgium.
Average yearly health care costs and costs of absenteeism were assessed by body mass index (BMI) categories — i.e., underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m), normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m), overweight ...
Past, present, and future trends of overweight and obesity in Belgium using Bayesian age-period-cohort models
and weight of 58,369 adults aged 18+ years, collected in six consecutive cross-sectional health interview surveys between 1997 and 2018, were evaluated. Criteria used for overweight and obesity were ...
Health care costs and lost productivity costs related to excess weight in Belgium
assessed by body mass index (BMI) categories – i.e., underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 kg/m2), overweight (25 ≤ BMI < 30 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). ...
In Vivo Kinetics and Biotransformation of Aflatoxin B1 in Dairy Cows Based on the Establishment of a Reliable UHPLC-MS/MS MethodDataSheet1.docx
milk as well as the toxin loads in the tissue of dairy cows were assessed through a repetitive feeding trial of an AFB1-contaminated diet of 4 μg kg−1 body weight (b.w.) for 13 days. This was followed by ...
Safety assessment of titanium dioxide (E171) as a food additive.
. Studies on general and organ toxicity did not indicate adverse effects with either E 171 up to a dose of 1,000 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day or with TiO NP s (> 30 nm) up to the highest dose tested of ...
Safety assessment of titanium dioxide (E171) as a food additive
the body. Studies on general and organ toxicity did not indicate adverse effects with either E 171 up to a dose of 1,000 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day or with TiO2 NP s (> 30 nm) up to the highest ...
Update of the risk assessment of hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) in food
in mice can be considered the critical effects. Based on effects on spontaneous behaviour in mice, the Panel identified a lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) of 0.9 mg/kg body weight (bw) as ...
