  • Arsenic Speciation and Metallomics Profiling of Human Toenails as a Biomarker to Assess Prostate Cancer Cases

    Open AccessErin Keltie, Kalli M Hood et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic and trace metals has been linked to prostate cancer, and altered arsenic methylation capacity may have an important role in arsenic carcinogenesis. Biomarkers may be able to elucidate this role. Our objectives were to characterize profiles of arsenic species and metallome in toenails and urine samples, compare profiles between prostate cancer cases and controls, and determine the discriminant ability of toena…

  • Associations between Neighborhood Walkability, Physical Activity, and Chronic Disease in Nova Scotian Adults

    Open AccessMelanie R Keats, Yunsong Cui et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Background : While neighborhood walkability has been shown to positively influence health behaviors, less is known about its impact on chronic disease. Our aim was to examine the association between walkability and self-reported physical activity in relation to chronic health conditions in an Atlantic Canadian population. Methods : Using data from the Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow's Health, a prospective cohort study, we employed both a cross…

  • Premature mortality due to social and material deprivation in Nova Scotia, Canada

    Open AccessNathalie Saint-Jacques, Ron Dewar et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2014

    Socioeconomic deprivation is an important determinant of health equity and affects every segment of the population. Deprivation accounted for 40% of premature deaths. The 4.3% of the study population living in extreme levels of socioeconomic deprivation experienced a twofold increased risk of dying prematurely. Nationally, this inequitable risk could translate into a significant public health burden
