Indoor air pollution in kindergartens is a stronger predictor of preschool wheezing than household pets and passive smoking
Background The quality of air in kindergartens, where children spend a significant part of their time, is an important determinant of health. Objective This study aimed to explore the relationship between indoor air pollution in kindergartens and wheezing syndrome in preschool children. Methods Air pollution, specifically the concentration of particulate matter (PM), was measured in 24 kindergartens. A total of 1,794 parents of preschool children…
A cross-sectional analysis of air pollution in primary schools and children fatigue
Introduction: Childhood fatigue is influenced by various factors, including health status, socioeconomic conditions, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors like air pollution. In this study we aimed to explore the relationship between children's fatigue and air pollution in the classrooms. Methods: 547 children from eight primary schools were enrolled into the study. Air pollution was measured in the classrooms including concentration of pa…
Mental Health and Physical Activity of Female Higher Education Students during the Covid-19 Pandemic
During emerging adulthood (EA), higher education medical students undergo a higher risk of anxiety and depression compared to the general population. The aim of this comparative cross-sectional study was to compare the proportions of three mental disorders, namely anxiety, depression and somatisation in terms of their symptoms and self-reported physical activity (PA) levels across the cohorts of biomedical and non-biomedical female students as we…
Covid-19 Pandemic and Consumption of Dietary Supplements among Adult Residents of Lithuania
In the light of the changing pattern of the consumption of dietary supplements among adults in other countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, we aim to assess the prevalence of the consumption of dietary supplements with respect to the purpose of consumption and sociodemographic factors among adults in Lithuania. This study included two samples of adults from Lithuania: 870 in 2019 and 1600 in 2021. Anonymous original questionnaires were used to c…
Trends in Pancreatic Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Lithuania, 1998–2015
The increasing pancreatic cancer incidence trend in the Lithuanian population may be related to the prevalence of its main risk factors (smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, diet, and diabetes)
Dietary Acid-Base Balance in High-Performance Athletes
Physical exercise leads to metabolic changes that affect the acid-base balance in skeletal muscles and other tissues. Nutrition is one of the factors that may influence the acid-base balance in the body. Keeping alkaline circumstances in the body is important not only for health and athletic performance in training but also during competition in many sport events. This is especially significant for athletes who practice in sport at the highest le…
Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Diet Quality Profile of the Lithuanian Team of Deaf Women’s Basketball Players
There are about 466 million people with hearing impairments in the world. The scientific literature does not provide sufficient data on the actual nutrition and other variables of professional deaf athletes. The objectives of this study were to investigate and evaluate the body composition, the physical working capacity, the nutrition intake, and the blood parameters of iron and vitamin D in the Lithuanian high-performance deaf women's basketball…
Increased Risk of Site-Specific Cancer in People with Type 2 Diabetes
A retrospective cohort design was used with the objective to evaluate cancer risk among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Lithuania. The cohort was established by identifying all patients with the first diagnosis of T2DM in the National Health Insurance Fund database during 2000-2012. Cancer cases were identified by record linkage with the Lithuanian Cancer Registry. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated. Of the 127,29…
A Technical Approach to the Evaluation of Radiofrequency Radiation Emissions from Mobile Telephony Base Stations
During the last two decades, the number of macrocell mobile telephony base station antennas emitting radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in residential areas has increased significantly, and therefore much more attention is being paid to RF EMR and its effects on human health. Scientific field measurements of public exposure to RF EMR (specifically to radio frequency radiation) from macrocell mobile telephony base station antennas…
