  • Winter life expectancy reduction in Europe

    Open AccessValentin Rousson, Fred Paccaud et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2026

    BACKGROUNDMortality is known to be higher in winter than in summer, with excess winter deaths ranging between 5% and 30% in Europe.A recent study conducted in the USA sought to quantify the excess winter mortality in terms of life expectancy reduction, by calculating the difference between summer and winter life expectancy. OBJECTIVESWe aimed to calculate Winter Life Expectancy Reduction (WLER) in Europe, illustrate the extent to which this indic…

  • Metabolic disturbances are risk factors for readmission to psychiatric hospitals in non-smokers but not in smokers

    Open AccessNermine Laaboub, Isabella Locatelli et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    The observed interaction between smoking and metabolic variables are compatible with a ceiling effect; metabolic variables increase the risk of readmission in non-smokers but not in smokers who are already at higher risk. Future studies should determine whether better metabolic monitoring and treatment can reduce readmission risk

  • On the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on mortality

    Open AccessValentin Rousson, Isabella LocatelliARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Objective: To quantify the (direct and indirect) impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality for actual populations of persons living in 12 European countries in 2020. Method: Based on demographic and mortality data, as well as remaining life expectancies found in the Human Mortality Database, we calculated a "population life loss" in 2020 for men and women living in Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Po…

  • Predicting the burden of cancer in Switzerland up to 2025

    Open AccessBastien Trächsel, Elisabetta Rapiti et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Predicting the short-term evolution of the number of cancers is essential for planning investments and allocating health resources. The objective of this study was to predict the numbers of cancer cases and of the 12 most frequent cancer sites, and their age-standardized incidence rates, for the years 2019–2025 in Switzerland. Projections of the number of malignant cancer cases were obtained by combining data from two sources: forecasts of nation…

  • The Joint Influence of Gender and Amount of Smoking on Weight Gain One Year after Smoking Cessation

    Open AccessIsabella Locatelli, Tinh-Hai Collet et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2014

    Weight gain is often associated with smoking cessation and may discourage smokers from quitting. This study estimated the weight gained one year after smoking cessation and examined the risk factors associated with weight gain in order to identify socio-demographic groups at higher risk of increased weight after quitting. We analyzed data from 750 adults in two randomized controlled studies that included smokers motivated to quit and found a grad…

  • Leptin and smoking cessation

    Open AccessSemira Gonseth, Isabella Locatelli et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Serum leptin levels significantly increased after smoking cessation, in spite of substantial weight gain. The leptin dynamic might be different in chronic tobacco users who quit smoking, and physical activity might impact the dynamic of leptin in such a situation.
