  • The burden of heat-related mortality attributable to recent human-induced climate change

    Open AccessAna M Vicedo‐Cabrera, Noah Scovronick et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2021

    Climate change affects human health; however, there have been no large-scale, systematic efforts to quantify the heat-related human health impacts that have already occurred due to climate change. Here, we use empirical data from 732 locations in 43 countries to estimate the mortality burdens associated with the additional heat exposure that has resulted from recent human-induced warming, during the period 1991-2018. Across all study countries, w…

  • The lighter side

    R Davis, F Howell et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2003

    This depicts stages in human evolution and the effects of smoking. The third image is an upright man, before society was exposed to harmful tobacco products. The fourth image shows a man slouched over, holding a cigarette and exhaling smoke. The last image, that of a tombstone, represents death resulting from the prolonged habit of smoking

  • Comparing meta-analysis and ecological-longitudinal analysis in time-series studies. A case study of the effects of air pollution on mortality in three Spanish cities

    Marc Sáez, A Figueiras et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2001References: 26

    STUDY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this paper is to introduce a different approach, called the ecological-longitudinal, to carrying out pooled analysis in time series ecological studies. Because it gives a larger number of data points and, hence, increases the statistical power of the analysis, this approach, unlike conventional ones, allows the complementation of aspects such as accommodation of random effect models, of lags, of interaction betwe…

  • Modelling influenza epidemics in the relation between black smoke and total mortality. A sensitivity analysis

    Aurelio Tobı́as, A Tobias et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1999References: 7

    3have been studied, but not diVerent methods for modelling influenza epidemics. In previous work influenza epidemics were controlled for by means of only one dummy variable, “1” denoting the occurrence of an epidemic and “0” otherwise. 13 Using this approach we cannot control for the possible variability in total daily mortality within influenza epidemic periods between years. Other authors have suggested using quantitative information about infl…

  • Air pollution and mortality in Barcelona

    Jordi Sunyer, Jordi Castellsagué et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1996Cited by: 8References: 10

    STUDY OBJECTIVES: Studies conducted in Barcelona reported a short term relation between daily air pollutant values and emergency department admissions for exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and asthma. Air pollution in Barcelona is mainly generated by vehicle exhaust and is below the World Health Organization air quality guidelines. The acute relation between air pollution and mortality was assessed. DESIGN: Daily variations i…

  • Short term effects of air pollution on health

    Klea Katsouyanni, Joel Schwartz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1996Cited by: 22References: 14

    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Results from several studies over the past five years have shown that the current levels of pollutants in Europe and North America have adverse short term effects on health. The APHEA project aims to quantifying these in Europe, using standardised methodology. The project protocol and analytical methodology are presented here. DESIGN: Daily time series data were gathered for several air pollutants (sulphur dioxide; part…
