Environmental exposures and health behavior in association with mental health: a study design.
to nitrogen dioxide (NO), particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM) and ≤ 10 μm (PM) and BC at the participants’ residence are modelled using a high resolution spatial temporal interpolation model. Residential ...
Residential green space and medication sales for childhood asthma: A longitudinal ecological study in Belgium
group (6–12 and 13–18 years). Generalized log-linear mixed effects models with repeated measures were used to estimate effects of relative covers of forest, grassland and garden in the census tract of the ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
to model tree diversity at genus level based on environmental covariates and presence point data. We aimed to identify the drivers and suitable methods for urban and rural tree diversity models in the ...

Jean-Marie Aerts; Jos Van Orshoven; Ben Somers Source: Landscape and Urban Planning, Volume 198 (2020) Keywords: allergenic tree species Belgium Maxent species distribution models stacking Abstract: Trees ...
Thyroid cancer incidence near nuclear sites in Belgium: An ecological study at small geographical level
living in the vicinity of the four nuclear sites at the smallest Belgian geographical level. Rate ratios were obtained from a Bayesian hierarchical model for areas of varying sizes around the nuclear ...
Neonatal factors predictive for respiratory and gastro-intestinal morbidity after esophageal atresia repair.
death. We used linear models with a binomial distribution to determine risk factors for gastro-intestinal or respiratory complicated evolution and a backward stepwise elimination procedure to reduce models ...
Heat and health in Antwerp under climate change: Projected impacts and implications for prevention.
change scenarios without adequate prevention based on locally relevant evidence. METHODS: We modelled the urban climate of Antwerp for the summer season during the period 1986-2015, and projected summer ...
Childhood leukaemia near nuclear sites in Belgium, 2002–2008
living in the vicinity of the nuclear sites in Belgium. Poisson regression modelling was carried out for proximity areas of varying sizes. In addition, the hypothesis of a gradient in leukaemia incidence ...
Short-term effect of pollen and spore exposure on allergy morbidity in the Brussels-Capital Region.
sales has been investigated between 2005 and 2011 in the Brussels-Capital Region. A Generalized Linear Model was used and adjusted for air pollution, meteorological conditions, flu, seasonal component and ...
Thyroid Cancer Incidence around the Belgian Nuclear Sites, 2000-2014.
hypothesis tests and generalized additive models were performed to test the hypothesis of a gradient in thyroid cancer incidence with increasing levels of surrogate exposures. Residential proximity to the ...
