  • Daily decision-making about food during pregnancy

    Open AccessSusan Pullon, Angela Ballantyne et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2019

    Pregnancy has always been a life-changing event for women and their families, but societal concern about pregnancy and motherhood has become intense in the digital age. The role of health promotion agencies and others supplying health-related resources about lifestyle behaviours is both important and in need of scrutiny. Ever increasing advice for pregnant women, their families and health professionals, abounds. This study of decision making duri…

  • Collaborating with a social housing provider supports a large cohort study of the health effects of housing conditions

    Open AccessMichael G Baker, Jane Zhang et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    This project has shown that an administrative housing database can be used to form a large cohort population and successfully link cohort members to their health records in a way that meets confidentiality and ethical requirements. This study also confirms that social housing tenants are a highly deprived population with relatively low incomes and high levels of exposure to household crowding and environmental tobacco smoke

  • Warm homes for older people

  • Modelling the effects of low indoor temperatures on the lung function of children with asthma

    Nevil Pierse, Richard Arnold et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013Cited by: 2References: 30

    INTRODUCTION: While many epidemiological studies have shown that low outdoor temperatures are associated with increased rates of hospitalisation and mortality (especially for respiratory or cardiovascular disease), very few studies have looked at the association between indoor temperatures and health. Such studies are clearly warranted, as people have greater exposure to the indoor environment than the outdoor environment. OBJECTIVES: To examine …

  • O4-1.2 Identifying an optimal exposure metric for measuring the short-term effects of low indoor temperatures on asthmatic children's lung function

    Open AccessNeville Pierse, Richard Arnold et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction Many epidemiological studies have shown that low outdoor temperatures lead to increased mortality and hospitalisation, generally finding the strongest association to be with temperature below a given threshold measured at a lag of 7–14 days. In contrast, very little work has been done on the health effects of exposure to low indoor temperatures, and none on the best metric of this exposure, despite the fact that people have greater e…

  • Breastfeeding protects against adverse respiratory outcomes at 15 months of age

    Open AccessKaren M Silvers, Chris Frampton et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2009

    The relationship between breastfeeding, respiratory and other allergic disorders has been controversial. Our aim was to investigate the relationships between breastfeeding, respiratory outcomes, eczema and atopy at 15 months of age in a prospective birth cohort in New Zealand. A total of 1105 children were enrolled at birth, and 1011 (91.2%) were followed up at 15 months. Logistic regression was used to model associations between breastfeeding du…

  • Effect of insulating existing houses on health inequality

    Open AccessPhilippa Howden-Chapman, Anna Matheson et al.ARTICLEBMJ2007

    OBJECTIVE: To determine whether insulating existing houses increases indoor temperatures and improves occupants' health and wellbeing. DESIGN: Community based, cluster, single blinded randomised study. SETTING: Seven low income communities in New Zealand. PARTICIPANTS: 1350 households containing 4407 participants. INTERVENTION: Installation of a standard retrofit insulation package. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Indoor temperature and relative humidity,…

  • The New Zealand Asthma and Allergy Cohort Study (NZA2CS)

    Open AccessMichael Epton, Michael J Epton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2007

    The cohort is fully assembled, and assessment of children is well advanced, with good retention rates. The study is well placed to address many current hypotheses about the risk factors for allergic disease and asthma

  • International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (Isaac)

    MI Asher, Ulrich Keil et al.ARTICLEEuropean Respiratory Journal1995

    The aetiology of asthma and allergic disease remains poorly understood, despite considerable research. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC), was founded to maximize the value of epidemiological research into asthma and allergic disease, by establishing a standardized methodology and facilitating international collaboration. Its specific aims are: 1) to describe the prevalence and severity of asthma, rhinitis and ec…
