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 ...
A healthy lifestyle is positively associated with mental health and well-being and core markers in ageing
ideation. A lifestyle score integrating diet, physical activity, smoking status, alcohol consumption and BMI was created and validated. On a subset of 739 participants, leucocyte TL and mtDNAc were assessed ...
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
defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25, and BMI ≥ 30. Past trends and projections were estimated with a Bayesian hierarchical APC model. Results. The prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased ...
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). ...

Source: Environment International, Volume 157 (2021) Keywords: BMI z-scores; ENVIRONAGE; Gamma-glutamyltransferase; Obesogenic effect; Placental paraben; pre-pregnancy BMI Abstract: Background: Parabens are ...
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: a pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million participants.
Background: Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which ...
Determinants of placental iodine concentrations in a mild-to-moderate iodine-deficient population: an ENVIRONAGE cohort study
378 participants. Results A higher pre-pregnancy BMI, higher gestational weight gain, and alcohol consumption during pregnancy were linked with lower placental iodine storage. Multi-vitamin supplementation during ...
Residential green space and seasonal distress in a cohort of tree pollen allergy patients
adjusted for patients’ background data (gender, age, BMI, smoking status, physical activity, commuting distance, education level, allergy medication use and chronic respiratory problems) and compared with ...
Determinants of persistent organic pollutant (POP) concentrations in human breast milk of a cross-sectional sample of primiparous mothers in Belgium
HCH) and two brominated flame retardant congeners (BDE-47, BDE-153) were detected at concentrations above the limit of quantification in >50% of the breast milk samples. Maternal age and BMI were ...
