Ever dispense of prescribed allergy medication in children growing up close to traffic
Traffic-related exposure was not associated with higher incidence of ever dispensed medication against allergy, in children 0-6 years in southern Sweden. These results indicates that traffic-related exposure may not be a risk factor for early onset allergy in children in southern Sweden. However, children with dispense of prescribed allergy medication may be a selected subgroup, and the results for this group may not be generalizable to all child…
Impacts of mobility disability and high and increasing body mass index on health-related quality of life and participation in society

These results indicate the importance of working preventively with persons with mobility disability and overweight status or obesity based on the risk of further weight gain

Traffic exposure at close proximity to residential address showed association with asthma prevalence and asthma symptoms last 12 months, among adults in southern Sweden. The associations were not stronger when accounting for total traffic exposure. This could reflect exposure misclassfication at workplace address and for other daily time in traffic, but also that residential address remains the main determinant for traffic exposure among adults
Intra-urban differences in breast cancer mortality
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess whether in an urban population stage at breast cancer diagnosis is related to area of living and to what extent intra-urban differences in breast cancer mortality are related to incidence respectively stage at diagnosis. DESIGN: National registries were used to identify cases. Mortality in 17 residential areas was studied in relation to incidence and stage distribution using linear regression analysis. Areas with high a…
