Residential green space in association with the methylation status in a CpG site within the promoter region of the placental serotonin receptor HTR2A
HTR2A-methylation when comparing residences with and without the presence of nature in a 50 m and 100 m buffer, respectively. The methylation status of HTR2A in placental tissue is positively associated with ...
Validity of air pollution annoyance to assess long-term exposure to air pollution in Belgium
To avoid the risk of exposure misclassification, one possibility is to interpolate air pollution measures at the residence through a Geographical Information Systems. However, this might imply ...
Air pollution in association with mental and self-rated health and the mediating effect of physical activity
(BC) were estimated at the participants’ residence by a high resolution spatiotemporal model. Multivariate logistic regressions were carried out taking into account a priori selected covariates. Results ...
Higher buccal mtDNA content is associated with residential surrounding green in a panel study of primary school children
high (≥3m) and total (sum of low and high) green space within different radii (100m–1000m) from the residence and distance to the nearest large green space (>0.5ha) were estimated using a remote ...
Urban environment and mental health: the NAMED project, protocol for a mixed-method study
qualitative part, we conduct walking interviews with Brussels residents to record their subjective well-being in association with their neighbourhood. In the validation part, results from these two approaches ...
Association between urban environment and mental health in Brussels, Belgium
residence and processed using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Mental health status was approached through several validated indicators: the Symptom Checklist-90-R subscales for depressive, anxiety and ...
Residing in urban areas with higher green space is associated with lower mortality risk: A census-based cohort study with ten years of follow-up
population-based Abstract: Background Epidemiological studies suggest that residing close to green space reduce mortality rates. We investigated the relationship between long-term exposure to residential green space ...
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
residence on OAD medication sales. Models were adjusted for air pollution (PM 10), housing quality and administrative region. Results: Consistent associations between OAD medication sales and relative covers ...
Taxonomic annotation of public fungal ITS sequences from the built environment- A report from an April 10-11, 2017 workshop (Aberdeen, UK)
persistent residents – may hold clues to the rising levels of human allergies and other medical and building-related health problems observed globally. The taxonomic identity of these fungi is crucial in such ...
