Predicting self-perceived general health status using machine learning
This study identified that within an external exposome dataset, the most important predictors for SPGH status are related to mental wellbeing, physical exercise, loneliness, and financial status
The mediating role of unhealthy behavior in the relationship between shift work and perceived health
Shift workers did not report lower mental or physical health than non-shift workers. Though mediation effects of unhealthy behavior were observed in the relationship between shift work and perceived health, these small effects had minor public health relevance
Mapping chronic disease prevalence based on medication use and socio-demographic variables
Adding medication use as an indicator of disease prevalence next to socio-economic variables substantially improved estimates at the municipality level. The resulting individual disease probabilities could be aggregated into any desired regional level and provide a useful tool to identify regional patterns and inform local policy
Single transitions and persistence of unemployment are associated with poor health outcomes
Single transitions into unemployment and persistent unemployment are associated with poor mental and general health, obesity, and to a lesser extend smoking. Our study suggests that re-employment might be an important strategy to improve health of unemployed individuals. The relatively extensive Dutch social security system may explain that the economic recession did not modify these associations
Using enhanced regression calibration to combine dietary intake estimates from 24 h recall and FFQ reduces bias in diet–disease associations
Objective: To illustrate the impact of combining 24 h recall (24hR) and FFQ estimates using regression calibration (RC) and enhanced regression calibration (ERC) on diet–disease associations. Setting: Wageningen area, the Netherlands, 2011–2013. Design: Five approaches for obtaining self-reported dietary intake estimates of protein and K were compared: (i) uncorrected FFQ intakes (FFQ); (ii) uncorrected average of two 24hR ( $\overline {\rm R}$ )…
Validating fatty acid intake as estimated by an FFQ
Objective To compare the performance of the commonly used 24 h recall (24hR) with the more distinct duplicate portion (DP) as reference method for validation of fatty acid intake estimated with an FFQ. Design Intakes of SFA, MUFA, n -3 fatty acids and linoleic acid (LA) were estimated by chemical analysis of two DP and by on average five 24hR and two FFQ. Plasma n -3 fatty acids and LA were used to objectively compare ranking of individuals based…
Taking multi-morbidity into account when attributing Dalys to risk factors
We argue that the GBD2010 approach is a hybrid of an attributional and counterfactual approach, making the end result hard to understand, while dynamic modelling uses a purely counterfactual approach and thus yields better interpretable results
BMI was found to be a consistent determinant related to misreporting of energy, protein and potassium intake using self-report and duplicate portion methods
Objective As misreporting, mostly under-reporting, of dietary intake is a generally known problem in nutritional research, we aimed to analyse the association between selected determinants and the extent of misreporting by the duplicate portion method (DP), 24 h recall (24hR) and FFQ by linear regression analysis using the biomarker values as unbiased estimates. Design For each individual, two DP, two 24hR, two FFQ and two 24 h urinary biomarkers…
Potential health gains and health losses in eleven EU countries attainable through feasible prevalences of the life-style related risk factors alcohol, BMI, and smoking
Smoking is still the risk-factor with the largest potential health gains. BMI, however, has comparatively large effects on morbidity. Future research should aim to improve knowledge of how policies can influence and shape individual and aggregated life-style-related risk-factor behavior
Influence of choice on vegetable intake in children
Choice-offering as a strategy to stimulate vegetable intake in young children. An in-home study
Participation in and attitude towards the national immunization program in the Netherlands
Most participants had a positive attitude towards vaccination, although some had doubts. Groups with a lower income or educational level or of non-Western descent participated less in the NIP than those with a high income or educational level or indigenous Dutch and have been less well identified previously. Particular attention ought to be given to these groups as they contribute in large measure to the rate of nonparticipation in the NIP, i.e.,…
The Dynamo-HIA Model
In Health Impact Assessment (HIA), or priority-setting for health policy, effects of risk factors (exposures) on health need to be modeled, such as with a Markov model, in which exposure influences mortality and disease incidence rates. Because many risk factors are related to a variety of chronic diseases, these Markov models potentially contain a large number of states (risk factor and disease combinations), providing a challenge both technical…
Medical innovation and age-specific trends in health care utilization
Estimating and comparing incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases by combining GP registry data
Estimates of incidence and prevalence can be obtained by combining data from GPRNs. Uncertainty in the estimates of absolute figures may lead to different rankings of diseases and, hence, should be taken into consideration when comparing disease incidences and prevalences
The influence of population characteristics on variation in general practice based morbidity estimations
Socio-demographic characteristics of populations do not explain the differences in morbidity estimations among GPRNs
Age, period and cohort effects on body weight and body mass index in adults
Objective To study the development of body weight with ageing, in a general adult population, taking into account possible period and cohort effects. Design A prospective cohort study with 11 years of follow-up. At baseline and after 6 and 11 years, body weight and height were measured. Setting The Doetinchem Cohort Study, consisting of inhabitants of Doetinchem, a town in a rural area of The Netherlands. Subjects In total, 4070 healthy men and w…
Long-term wine consumption is related to cardiovascular mortality and life expectancy independently of moderate alcohol intake
BACKGROUND: Light to moderate alcohol intake lowers the risk of cardiovascular mortality, but whether this protective effect can be attributed to a specific type of beverage remains unclear. Moreover, little is known about the effects of long-term alcohol intake on life expectancy. METHODS: The impact of long-term alcohol intake and types of alcoholic beverages consumed on cardiovascular mortality and life expectancy at age 50 was investigated in…
Mortality and life expectancy in relation to long-term cigarette, cigar and pipe smoking
Cigar or pipe smoking reduces life expectancy to a lesser extent than cigarette smoking. Both the number of cigarettes smoked and duration of smoking are strongly associated with mortality risk and the number of life-years lost. Stopping smoking after age 40 has major health benefits
Avoidable mortality in Europe (1980–1997)
Study objective: To analyse international variations of trends in “avoidable” mortality (1980–1997). Design: A multilevel model was used to study trends in avoidable and “non-avoidable” mortality and trends by cause of death. Setting: Fifteen countries of the European Union, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. Participants: 19 avoidable causes of death among men and women aged 0–64 years. Mortality and population data were derived from the WHO morta…
