Potential impact fractions of body mass index reductions on the non-communicable disease burden in Belgium using G-computation
reduction scenarios in the Belgian adult population. Methods: Data from the Belgian health interview surveys 2013/2018 (n=18 212) were linked with objective environmental factors based on the residential ...
Transforming Shiga toxin-producing surveillance through whole genome sequencing in food safety practices.
associations between virulence genes and severe disease were determined by incorporating human metadata into the data analysis. Gaps in the surveillance system were identified and suggestions for optimization ...
Adherence to '5-2-1-0' guidelines and multiple risky behaviours among adolescents in nine sub-Saharan African countries: evidence from Global School-based Student Health Survey 2012-2017.
of the four risky behaviours were explored using observed/expected prevalence ratios. Data came from the Global School-based Health Survey and 18 314 adolescents were considered. RESULTS: Among the ...
