EPlanet – An educational game and platform for Planetary Health
WHAT WAS THE EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGE?: Planetary Health addresses the interconnections between environmental changes, social systems and human health. Despite its growing recognition, integration into medical education remains limited due to overloaded curricula and educators' unfamiliarity with the subject. WHAT WAS THE SOLUTION?: The ePlanet project developed modular, open-access educational tools, incorporating serious gaming and challenge-based…
Integrating the United Nations sustainable development goals into higher education globally
BACKGROUND: In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Higher education institutions have a role in raising awareness and building skills among future professionals for implementing the SDGs. This review describes how the SDGs have been integrated into higher education globally. OBJECTIVES: Determine how have the SDGs been integrated into higher education…
Using Distributed Lag Non-Linear Models to Estimate Exposure Lag-Response Associations between Long-Term Air Pollution Exposure and Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease
Long-term air pollution exposure increases the risk for cardiovascular disease, but little is known about the temporal relationships between exposure and health outcomes. This study aims to estimate the exposure-lag response between air pollution exposure and risk for ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke incidence by applying distributed lag non-linear models (DLNMs). Annual mean concentrations of particles with aerodynamic diameter less than …
Understanding abdominal aortic aneurysm epidemiology
BACKGROUND: Low socioeconomic position (SEP) has been demonstrated to negatively influence outcome in several cardiovascular patient groups. The aim of this study was to analyse time trends of incidence of intact abdominal aortic aneurysm (iAAA) and ruptured AAA (rAAA), respectively, and to investigate whether SEP had any influence on the probability to present with rupture and, finally, to determine the impact of SEP on outcome. METHODS: Nationw…
Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology
Financial stress in late adulthood and diverse risks of incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in women and men
Financial stress may increase the risks of incident CVD and all-cause mortality, especially among men. Furthermore these risks are likely to be greater in men living in single households and in women without cash margins. Living with a partner seems to protect men, but not women, from ill-health associated with financial stress due to the lack of a cash margin
