Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor study 2013 (GBD 2013) is the first of a series of annual updates of the GBD. Risk factor quantification, particularly of modifiable
New derivatives of 7-chloroquinolin-4-amine with antiprotozoal activity (Publications)
Novel omega-aminoacyl and -alkyl derivatives of 7-chloroquinolin-4-amine were prepared and their structures confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Their antiprotozoal activities were examined in vitro against
Urban and transport planning related exposures and mortality: a health impact assessment for cities (Publications)
BACKGROUND: By 2050, almost 70% of people globally are projected to live in urban areas. As the environments we inhabit affect our health, urban and transport designs that promote healthy living are n
Factors associated with dog rabies immunisation status in Bamako, Mali (Publications)
We conducted a cross-sectional survey in Bamako, Mali, to determine for the first time the seroprevalence of rabies virus antibodies in the dog population and people's knowledge, attitudes and practic
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
Ambient ultrafine particle levels at residential and reference sites in urban and rural Switzerland (Publications)
Although there is evidence that ultrafine particles (UFP) do affect human health there are currently no legal ambient standards. The main reasons are the absence of spatially resolved exposure data to
Carotid stiffness and physical activity in elderly: a short report of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in the general population. While smaller studies in specified groups (highly trained versus untrained indiv
Long-term physical activity is associated with reduced arterial stiffness in older adults: longitudinal results of the SAPALDIA cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: longitudinal analyses of physical activity (PA) and arterial stiffness in populations of older adults are scarce. We examined associations between long-term change of PA and arterial stiff
