Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
compared to the conventional methods. The meat previously spiked with STEC was also used to investigate the difference between Illumina short reads or Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) long reads ...

Validity of air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollution in Belgium
coefficient, analysis of variance and multivariable ordinal logistic regressions (OLR). Results A significant exposure-response relationship was observed between long term air pollution exposure and ...
Variability in the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality by exposure assessment method and covariate adjustment: A census-based country-wide cohort study
model using hybrid LUR exposure were 1.023 (95% CI 1.011-1.035). After including random effects HR s were 1.044 (95% CI 1.033-1.057) [NUTS-1] and 1.076 (95% CI 1.060-1.092) [NUTS-3]. Conclusion Long ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
higher risk for cold, and people with psychoses for heat. In addition, people with long or frequent hospital admissions in the year preceding death were at lower risk. Despite large uncertainties, there ...
Air pollution in association with mental and self-rated health and the mediating effect of physical activity
Long-term exposure to PM2.5, BC and NO2 averaged 14.5, 1.4, and 21.8 µg/m3, respectively. An interquartile range (IQR) increment in PM2.5 exposure was associated with higher odds of suboptimal vitality (OR ...
Cost-effectiveness analysis of a school- and community-based intervention to promote a healthy lifestyle and prevent type 2 diabetes in vulnerable families across Europe: the Feel4Diabetes-study.
achieved on the very long-term (>30 years). The intervention in its entirety was cost-effective (more QALY s at a reasonable investment) in Belgium, Finland, Bulgaria, and Hungary, while being dominant ...
