  • Modern health worries and exposure perceptions of individuals reporting varying levels of sensitivity to electromagnetic fields

    Open AccessMaryse Ledent, Benjamin Vatovez et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: Individuals who claim to be affected by idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) report symptoms linked to EMF exposure. Uncertainties about the causes of these symptoms often leave them seeking their own care solutions. In our connected societies, they may limit their exposure, leading to a spiral of avoidance that negatively impacts overall health. Our objective is to gain insights into the …

  • Could electrohypersensitivity be a specific form of high sensory processing sensitivity

    Open AccessJimmy Bordarie, Maryse Ledent et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) refers to a syndrome in which individuals claim to suffer from a variety of symptoms that they attribute to electromagnetic fields. The characteristics of this specific hypersensitivity, particularly in terms of symptoms, are similar to those associated with high sensory processing sensitivity (HSPS). This article raises the question of the superposition of these two types of sensitivity and investigate…

  • Local approach to attributable disease burden

    Open AccessA Pauwels, Claire Demoury et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Aggregated local burden estimates prove to be accurate compared to the global approach. This means the local method shows potential for comparing areas and population groups at subnational level, where estimates can be generated in a flexible manner depending on research or policy needs

  • Determinants of food insecurity among adults residing in peri-urban municipal settings in Flanders, Belgium

    Open AccessYasemin Inaç, Suzannah D'Hooghe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Food insecurity is a global public health issue associated with noncommunicable diseases. Individual factors are strongly associated with food insecurity, but there is limited literature on the broader impact of both the social and food environments on food insecurity in non-English speaking European countries, given that the research was predominantly conducted in Anglophone settings. In addition, these studies have mostly been conducted in urba…

  • Cluster pattern analysis of environmental stressors and quantifying their impact on all-cause mortality in Belgium

    Open AccessBram Vandeninden, Eva M De Clercq et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Environmental stress represents an important burden on health and leads to a considerable number of diseases, hospitalisations, and excess mortality. Our study encompasses a representative sample size drawn from the Belgian population in 2016 (n = 11.26 million, with a focus on n = 11.15 million individuals). The analysis is conducted at the geographical level of statistical sectors, comprising a total of n = 19,794 sectors, with a subset of n = …

  • Inequalities in mortality associated with housing conditions in Belgium between 1991 and 2020

    Open AccessMartina Otavova, Christel Faes et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Thousands of deaths in Belgium could be avoided if all Belgian neighborhoods had the mortality rates of the least deprived areas in terms of housing. Hotspots of housing inequalities need to be located and targeted with tailored public actions

  • Association between urban environment and mental health in Brussels, Belgium

    Open AccessIngrid Pelgrims, Brecht Devleesschauwer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    These findings have important implications because most of the Brussel's population resides in areas where particulate matters concentrations are above the World Health Organization guidelines. This suggests that policies aiming to reduce traffic related-air pollution could also reduce the burden of depressive disorders in Brussels

  • Comparison of Surface and Planimetric Landscape Metrics for Mountainous Land Cover Pattern Quantification in Lancang Watershed, China

    Open AccessZhiming Zhang, Zhang Zhiming et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2012

    Landscape pattern structure can be quantified by landscape pattern indices (LPIs). One major drawback of the commonly used LPIs is that the landscape is represented by a planar map, which depicts the projection of a nonflat surface into a 2-dimensional Cartesian space. As a result, ecologically meaningful terrain structures like terrain shape or elevation are not taken into account and valuable information is lost for further analysis. A method t…
