Canine rabies represents a major - but preventable - public health threat in Chad. In preparation for a nation-wide canine parenteral mass vaccination campaign we conducted a community-based, cross-se
Radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure in everyday microenvironments in Europe: a systematic literature review (Publications)
The impact of the introduction and advancement in communication technology in recent years on exposure level of the population is largely unknown. The main aim of this study is to systematically revie
Sex-specific associations of cardiovascular risk factors with carotid stiffness - results from the SAPALDIA cohort study (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: Manifestation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurs with clear sex differences. Carotid stiffness (CS) parameters are increasingly used for CVD risk assessment but the sex-specific associa
Reproducibility of oscillometrically measured arterial stiffness indices: results of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study (Publications)
Background. There is an increasing interest in oscillometric arterial stiffness measurement for cardiovascular risk stratification. We assessed reproducibility of the cuff-based arterial stiffness mea
Physical activity is associated with lower arterial stiffness in older adults: results of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study (Publications)
Associations of physical activity (PA) intensity with arterial stiffness in older adults at the population level are insufficiently studied. We examined cross-sectional associations of self-reported P
Is there a differential impact of parity on blood pressure by age? (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: In pregnancy, women experience metabolic and hemodynamic changes of potential long-term impact. Conflicting evidence exists on the impact on blood pressure (BP). We investigated the associa
