Impact of electronic cigarette and heated tobacco product on conventional smoking: An Italian prospective cohort study conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic
Both e-cigarette and HTP use predict starting smoking and relapse, and appear to reduce smoking cessation. Due to the limited sample size within specific strata, the association with quitting smoking should be confirmed by larger prospective studies. These findings do not support the use of e-cigarettes and HTPs in tobacco control as a consumer product, at least in Italy
The Role of Novel (Tobacco) Products on Tobacco Control in Italy
In Italy, electronic cigarettes have spread since 2010 and heated tobacco products (HTP) since 2016. We investigated their public health consequences on conventional cigarette smoking, taking advantage of a series of cross-sectional studies annually conducted between 2001 and 2019 in Italy. Every year, the sample, including around 3000 individuals, was representative of the general Italian population aged ≥15 years. In Italy, smoking prevalence s…

Longitudinal associations of light-intensity physical activity with quality of life, functioning and fatigue after colorectal cancer
Higher levels of LPA were longitudinally associated with better HRQoL and less fatigue in CRC survivors up to two years post-treatment. Further prospective studies using accelerometer data are necessary to inform development of interventions targeting LPA
Loneliness in Later Life and Reaching Longevity: Findings From the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam
The current analyses did not show support for the existence of a meaningful effect of loneliness on reaching longevity in both sexes. When investigating specific dimensions of loneliness, we observed that reporting social loneliness was associated with reaching 90 years in women. This indicates that, for women, a large and diverse personal network at an older age could increase the probability of reaching longevity. However, replication of our fi…
Body size, non-occupational physical activity and the chance of reaching longevity in men and women: Findings from the Netherlands Cohort Study
Introduction The rising number of obese and/or physically inactive individuals might negatively impact human lifespan. This study assessed the association between height, body mass index (BMI) and non-occupational physical activity and the likelihood of reaching 90 years of age, in both sexes separately. Methods Analyses were conducted using data from the Netherlands Cohort Study. Participants born in 1916–1917 (n=7807) completed a questionnaire …
Etiology and prognosis of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain; design of a longitudinal study
This large-scale prospective cohort study will provide reliable insights in incidence, prevalence and factors related to etiology and prognosis of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain
Treatment of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle and/or low back pain after delivery design of a randomized clinical trial within a comprehensive prognostic cohort study [ISRCTN08477490]
This section briefly discusses the actions taken to minimize bias in the design, the proper time-window for the experimental intervention and the contrast between the experimental intervention and usual care
Effects of Emotion-Oriented Care on Work-Related Outcomes of Professional Caregivers in Homes for Elderly Persons
From this study, as well as other studies in this field, no strong effects were found of emotion-oriented care on work-related outcomes in professional caregivers. Additional research is therefore needed. In these new studies, special attention should be given to the optimization of the implementation process of emotion-oriented care programs
Association between mortality and indicators of traffic-related air pollution in the Netherlands: A cohort study
Socioeconomic status and stomach cancer incidence in men: Results from The Netherlands Cohort Study
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To study the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and stomach cancer incidence (cardia and non-cardia) and the role of lifestyle factors in explaining this association. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study on diet and cancer that started in 1986. Data were collected by means of a self administered questionnaire. SETTING: Population originating from 204 municipalities in the Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS: 58,279 men aged 55-69 y…
Socioeconomic status and lung cancer incidence in men in The Netherlands: Is there a role for occupational exposure
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of occupational exposure to carcinogens in explaining the association between socioeconomic status and lung cancer. DESIGN: A prospective cohort study. Data on diet, other lifestyle factors, sociodemographic characteristics and job history were collected by means of a self administered questionnaire. Follow up for incident cancer was established by record linkage with a national pathology register and wi…
Lung cancer: Is there an association with socioeconomic status in The Netherlands
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To evaluate if there are differences in lung cancer incidence between socioeconomic groups in the Netherlands and if so, if smoking habits and other lifestyle characteristics could explain these differences. DESIGN--Prospective cohort study. Baseline measurement included information on socioeconomic status, smoking habits, and other covariates by means of a self-administered questionnaire. Follow up was established by computerise…
