1. Longitudinal change of prebronchodilator spirometric obstruction and health outcomes: results from the SAPALDIA cohort (Publications)

   Longitudinal change of prebronchodilator spirometric obstruction and health outcomes: results from the SAPALDIA cohort

   Relevance:

   Background Understanding the prognostic meaning of early stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the general population is relevant for discussions about underdiagnosis. To date, COP

2. Development of land use regression models for nitrogen dioxide, ultrafine particles, lung deposited surface area, and four other markers of... (Publications)

   Development of land use regression models for nitrogen dioxide, ultrafine particles, lung deposited surface area, and four other markers of particulate matter pollution in the Swiss SAPALDIA regions

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Land Use Regression (LUR) is a popular method to explain and predict spatial contrasts in air pollution concentrations, but LUR models for ultrafine particles, such as particle number conc

   Modification of the association between PM10 and lung function decline by cadherin 13 polymorphisms in the SAPALDIA cohort: a genome-wide interaction analysis

   Relevance:

   Background: Both air pollution and genetic variation have been shown to affect lung function. Their interaction has not been studied on a genome-wide scale to date. Objectives: We aimed to identify, i

5. Long-term exposure to traffic-related PM10 and decreased heart rate variability: is the association restricted to subjects taking ACE inhibitors? (Publications)

   Long-term exposure to traffic-related PM10 and decreased heart rate variability: is the association restricted to subjects taking ACE inhibitors?

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Alterations in heart rate variability (HRV) are a potential link between exposure to traffic-related air pollution and cardiovascular mortality. OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether long-te

6. Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies three new risk loci for atopic dermatitis (Publications)

   Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies three new risk loci for atopic dermatitis

   Relevance:

   Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a commonly occurring chronic skin disease with high heritability. Apart from filaggrin (FLG), the genes influencing atopic dermatitis are largely unknown. We conducted a geno

7. Spatial and temporal variability of ultrafine particles, NO2, PM2.5, PM2.5 absorbance, PM10 and PMcoarse in Swiss study areas (Publications)

   Spatial and temporal variability of ultrafine particles, NO2, PM2.5, PM2.5 absorbance, PM10 and PMcoarse in Swiss study areas

   Genome-wide association and functional follow-up reveals new loci for kidney function

   Relevance:

   Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health problem with a genetic component. We performed genome-wide association studies in up to 130,600 European ancestry participants overall, and s

   Long-term exposure to elemental constituents of particulate matter and cardiovascular mortality in 19 European cohorts: Results from the ESCAPE and TRANSPHORM projects

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Associations between long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality have been widely recognized. However, health effects of long-term exposure to
