The impacts of air pollution on mortality and hospital readmission among Medicare beneficiaries with Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias
Excess Fatal Overdoses in the United States During the Covid-19 Pandemic by Geography and Substance Type
Objectives. To assess heterogeneity in pandemic-period excess fatal overdoses in the United States, by location (state, county) and substance type. Methods. We used seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) models to estimate counterfactual death counts in the scenario that no pandemic had occurred. Such estimates were subtracted from actual death counts to assess the magnitude of pandemic-period excess mortality between March 20…
Combining aggregate and individual-level data to estimate individual-level associations between air pollution and Covid-19 mortality in the United States
Imposing stricter regulations for PM 2.5 has the potential to mitigate damaging health and climate change effects. Recent evidence establishing a link between exposure to air pollution and COVID-19 outcomes is one of many arguments for the need to reduce the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for PM 2.5 . However, many studies reporting a relationship between COVID-19 outcomes and PM 2.5 have been criticized because they are based on …
Air pollution exposure disparities across US population and income groups
Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Its Association with Maternal and Newborn Outcomes
Background: Pregnancy is a crucial stage in a woman’s life and can be affected by epigenetic and environmental factors. Diet also plays a key role in gestation. This study aimed to evaluate how a greater or lesser adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) influences specific parameters of mother and newborn. Methods: After delivery, the women participating in the study answered a questionnaire: demographic information; anthropometric data (pre-pre…

Weather Conditions and Covid-19 Incidence in a Cold Climate
Background: The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spreading globally at an accelerated rate. There is some previous evidence that weather may influence the incidence of COVID-19 infection. We assessed the role of meteorological factors including temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) considering the concentrations of two air pollutants, inhalable coarse particles (PM 10 ) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) in the incidence of COVID-19 …
Air pollution and Covid-19 mortality in the United States
We describe the challenges and opportunities of analyzing links between exposure to air pollution and vulnerability to COVID-19.
Exposure to air pollution and Covid-19 mortality in the United States
Aggregated mobility data could help fight Covid-19
Introduction to the article: As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic worsens, understanding the effectiveness of public messaging and large-scale social distancing interventions is critical. The research and public health response communities can and should use population mobility data collected by private companies, with appropriate legal, organizational, and computational safeguards in place. When aggregated, these data can help ref…
The Use of a Quasi-Experimental Study on the Mortality Effect of a Heat Wave Warning System in Korea
Many cities and countries have implemented heat wave warning systems to combat the health effects of extreme heat. Little is known about whether these systems actually reduce heat-related morbidity and mortality. We examined the effectiveness of heat wave alerts and health plans in reducing the mortality risk of heat waves in Korea by utilizing the discrepancy between the alerts and the monitored temperature. A difference-in-differences analysis …
Relative Effects of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program on Hospitals That Serve Poorer Patients
IMPORTANCE: Hospitals that serve poorer populations have higher readmission rates. It is unknown whether these hospitals effectively lowered readmission rates in response to the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP). OBJECTIVE: To compare pre-post differences in readmission rates among hospitals with different proportion of dual-eligible patients both generally and among the most highly penalized (ie, low performing) hospitals. DESIGN: R…
Association of Short-term Exposure to Air Pollution With Mortality in Older Adults
Importance: The US Environmental Protection Agency is required to reexamine its National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) every 5 years, but evidence of mortality risk is lacking at air pollution levels below the current daily NAAQS in unmonitored areas and for sensitive subgroups. Objective: To estimate the association between short-term exposures to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone, and at levels below the current daily NA…
Air Pollution and Mortality in the Medicare Population
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that long-term exposure to air pollution increases mortality. However, evidence is limited for air-pollution levels below the most recent National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Previous studies involved predominantly urban populations and did not have the statistical power to estimate the health effects in underrepresented groups. METHODS: and 10 parts per billion (ppb) for ozone using a two-pollutant Cox proportio…
Future respiratory hospital admissions from wildfire smoke under climate change in the Western US
Background. Wildfires are anticipated to be more frequent and intense under climate change. As a result, wildfires may emit more air pollutants that can harm health in communities in the future. The health impacts of wildfire smoke under climate change are largely unknown. Methods. We linked projections of future levels of fine particulate matter (PM _2.5 ) specifically from wildfire smoke under the A1B climate change scenario using the GEOS-Chem…
Firearm Prevalence and Homicides of Law Enforcement Officers in the United States
Objectives. In the United States, state firearm ownership has been correlated with homicide rates. More than 90% of homicides of law enforcement officers (LEOs) are committed with firearms. We examined the relationship between state firearm ownership rates and LEO occupational homicide rates. Methods. We obtained the number LEOs killed from 1996 to 2010 from a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) database. We calculated homicide rates per state …
Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Hospital Admission for Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases
CONTEXT: Evidence on the health risks associated with short-term exposure to fine particles (particulate matter 200,000) with 11.5 million Medicare enrollees (aged >65 years) living an average of 5.9 miles from a PM2.5 monitor. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Daily counts of county-wide hospital admissions for primary diagnosis of cerebrovascular, peripheral, and ischemic heart diseases, heart rhythm, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, …
Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Mortality in 20 U.S. Cities, 1987–1994
BACKGROUND: Air pollution in cities has been linked to increased rates of mortality and morbidity in developed and developing countries. Although these findings have helped lead to a tightening of air-quality standards, their validity with respect to public health has been questioned. METHODS: We assessed the effects of five major outdoor-air pollutants on daily mortality rates in 20 of the largest cities and metropolitan areas in the United Stat…
