Associations between household characteristics and environmentally persistent free radicals in house dust from two Australian locations
Introduction: The association between air pollution and adverse health outcomes has been extensively documented, with oxidative stress widely considered a contributing factor. However, the precise underlying mechanism(s) remains unclear. Recent studies suggest that environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) may provide the missing connection between air pollution and its detrimental health effects. Nevertheless, the indoor environment has r…
Association of Maternal Air Pollution Exposure and Infant Lung Function Is Modified by Genetic Propensity to Oxidative Stress
High prenatal exposure to ambient NO 2 is associated with a lower FRC and a higher LCI score in infants with a genetic propensity to oxidative stress. There was no relationship between maternal exposure to air pollution with maternal and cord blood inflammation or OS biomarkers
Mapping the risk of respiratory infections using suburban district areas in a large city in Colombia
Sociodemographic factors and their spatial patterns are determinants of acute respiratory infections in Cúcuta. Bayesian spatial hierarchical models can be used to estimate and map the risk of these infections in suburban areas of large cities in Colombia. The methods of this study can be used globally to identify suburban areas and or specific communities at risk to support the implementation of prevention strategies and decision-making in the p…
Mapping the Morbidity Risk Associated with Coal Mining in Queensland, Australia
The populations in the vicinity of surface coal mining activities have a higher risk of morbidity due to diseases, such as cardiovascular, respiratory and hypertensive diseases, as well as cancer and diabetes mellitus. Despite the large and historical volume of coal production in Queensland, the main Australian coal mining state, there is little research on the association of coal mining exposures with morbidity in non-occupational populations in…
The Association of Ambient Temperature with Extremely Preterm Births
A future for the world's children? A WHO–Unicef–Lancet Commission
Despite dramatic improvements in survival, nutrition, and education over recent decades, today's children face an uncertain future. Climate change, ecological degradation, migrating populations, conflict, pervasive inequalities, and predatory commercial practices threaten the health and future of children in every country. In 2015, the world's countries agreed on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), yet nearly 5 years later, few countries ha…

Children’s Environmental Health Indicators in Context of the Sustainable Development Goals for Small Island Developing States
The unique environmental vulnerability of small island developing states (SIDS) is likely to impact negatively on children's health. Children's environmental health indicators (CEHI) are standardized measures that can be used to assess the environmental exposures and their resulting health outcomes in children. This study sought to utilize the United Nations (UN) global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with their associated targets and indic…

Indigenous health and environmental risk factors
Indigenous people experience poorer health than non-Indigenous people, and this well-described inequality has been observed in many countries. The contribution of different risk factors to the health 'gap' has understandably focussed on those factors for which there are sufficient data. However, this has precluded environmental risk factors - those present in air, water, food, and soil - due to a lack of data describing exposures and outcomes. Th…
Association Between Socioeconomic Status and the Development of Asthma
Objectives. Using data on 2868 children born in the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study, we examined the association between changes in family socioeconomic status and childhood asthma. Methods. We determined the likelihood (odds ratio) of a child having asthma at ages 6 and 14 years for 4 family-income trajectories (chronic low, increasing, decreasing, and never low) over the child's lifetime. The trajectories were created from lon…
The Relation of Breastfeeding and Body Mass Index to Asthma and Atopy in Children
Objectives. We investigated the relationship between breastfeeding, asthma and atopy, and child body mass index (BMI). Methods. From a prospective birth cohort (n = 2860) in Perth, Western Australia, 2195 children were followed up to age 6 years. Asthma was defined as doctor-diagnosed asthma and wheeze in the last year, and atopy was determined by skin prick test of 1596 children. Breastfeeding, BMI, asthma, and atopy were regressed allowing for …
