Measuring planetary eco-emotions
The climate crisis has wide-ranging mental health impacts, but quantifying these is difficult due to the lack of standardized definitions and tools. This systematic review aims to identify and evaluate the psychometric instruments used to measure emotions related to the climate crisis, assessing their characteristics and gaps. Using PRISMA and COSMIN guidelines, we covered articles on self-report measures of eco-emotions. We identified ten scales…
Water fetching and musculoskeletal health across the life-course in Sub-Saharan Africa
The world is experiencing a global water crisis and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is expected to be a hotspot for increasing global water scarcity in years to come. Water is quintessentially a gendered issue; indeed, sociocultural norms hold women responsible for household water collection, requiring them to travel far distances while carrying water. This paper reports the findings of a scoping review of peer-reviewed and grey literature that examines…
Knowledge about handling hazardous materials as factors associated with adherence to healthcare waste management practices among waste handlers at government district hospitals of Madhesh province, Ne…
Healthcare Waste (HCW) is a special waste produced in healthcare institutions, including hospitals. It has a high potential for infection and injuries. The issue of waste disposal is growing as the number of hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic laboratories in Nepal continues to increase. The study aimed to assess the adherence to healthcare waste management (HCWM) practices and knowledge among waste handlers at the government district hospitals of…
Climate change and women’s mental health in two vulnerable communities of Bangladesh
Climate change is one of the most significant challenges humanity faces in the 21st century, with its health impacts being profoundly felt in the most vulnerable countries. However, the mental health impacts of climate change, particularly concerning social inequality and gender dynamics, are less documented in the Global South. This paper focuses on the impact of climate change on women’s mental health in two vulnerable communities in Bangladesh…
Household waste sorting practice, and factors associated with sorting practice in Bedelle town, Southwest Ethiopia
Household solid waste generation rate in low-income countries is increasing due to population growth and changes in people’s lifestyles. Sorting waste into categories is an important step in household waste management. However, there is limited information about sorting practices in a low-income setting like Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess household solid waste (HSW) sorting practices, and factors associated with sorting practices…
Mind the gap
Data transparency has played a key role in this pandemic. The aim of this paper is to map COVID-19 data availability and accessibility, and to rate their transparency and credibility in selected countries, by the source of information. This is used to identify knowledge gaps, and to analyse policy implications. The availability of a number of COVID-19 metrics (incidence, mortality, number of people tested, test positive rate, number of patients h…
Working toward a transdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning planetary health–A collective reflection
Background: In order to educate the next generation of leaders to work at reverting the damaging effects of the Anthropocene, there is an increasing need to incorporate more environmental-related aspects in all teaching programmes, including the health-related. Planetary health is a complex field which can benefit from a transdisciplinary pedagogical approach. The aim of this research was to evaluate an approach working toward transdisciplinarity…
The links of fine airborne particulate matter exposure to occurrence of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in Michigan, USA
Air pollutants, particularly airborne particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter 2.5 ), have been linked to the increase in mortality and morbidity associated with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In this study, we investigated the dose-risk relationships between PM 2.5 concentrations and occurrences of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases as well as the confounding socioeconomic factors in Michigan, USA, where PM 2.5 levels are generall…
Household pesticide exposure
This study aimed to estimate household pesticide exposure in adult individuals in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and to verify the accessibility of these products in local and online businesses. The data were collected by an online questionnaire (1,015 responses) and a shelf survey in physical and online stores. Among the responses analyzed, 87.5% used pesticides in the previous year, most of which against mosquitoes (64.7%). …

STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology
Advances in laboratory techniques have led to a rapidly increasing use of biomarkers in epidemiological studies. Biomarkers of internal dose, early biological change, susceptibility, and clinical outcomes are used as proxies for investigating the interactions between external and/or endogenous agents and the body components or processes. The need for improved reporting of scientific research led to influential statements of recommendations such a…

Height and BMI are associated with IGF-I and its binding proteins, which may be mechanisms through which body size contributes to increased risk of several cancers
