The influence of weather and urban environment characteristics on upper respiratory tract infections
Risk Management of Working in Cold Environments
Millions of people are exposed to cold environments daily. Adverse health risks are prominent for outdoor and cold storage workers. Therefore, a systematic risk management approach is highly motivated. This scoping review aimed to describe the current knowledge regarding risk management of cold exposure hazards in the occupational setting. We also examined differences between sexes in risk management practices regarding cold exposure. The review …
Self-Assessed Threshold Temperature for Cold among Poultry Industry Workers in Thailand
The self-assessed threshold temperature for cold in the workplace is not well known. We asked 392 chicken industry workers in Thailand what they regard as the cold threshold (CT) and compared subgroups of workers using linear and quantile regressions by CT sextiles (percentiles P 17 , P 33 , P 50 , P 67 , and P 83 , from warmest to coldest). The variables of interest were sex, office work, and sedentary work, with age, clothing thermal insulation…
Workplace Cold and Perceived Work Ability
The association between worksite temperature and perceived work ability (WA) in various educational classes remains unknown. Therefore, we interviewed 286 poultry industry workers in Thailand about their WA and linked their responses to worksite temperature. WA was based on the self-assessment of current work ability compared with their lifetime best ability (scores 0–10). Education was classified as high (university or vocational school) or low …
Cold-related symptoms and performance degradation among Thai poultry industry workers with reference to vulnerable groups
Cold-related symptoms and performance degradation were found to be common in this industry, with vulnerable groups comprising of highly educated workers, forklift drivers, storage and manufacturing workers, weekly alcohol consumers, aging workers, and women. The results demonstrate a need for further research on the adequacy of protection provided against the cold, particularly given that global warming will increase the contrast between cold wor…
Physical Activity, Residential Environment, and Nature Relatedness in Young Men—A Population-Based Mopo Study
Background : In general, nature relatedness is positively associated with physical activity, health, and subjective well-being. However, increased residence in urban areas, and the decrease in natural spaces, may affect the younger generation most adversely. The associated environmental changes can increase youths' risk of spending most of their time indoors, and weaken their nature relatedness, making them less likely to enjoy nature's health be…
Disordered eating behavior, health and motives to exercise in young men
In young men, disordered eating behavior was associated with being overweight, having poor self-rated health, and having a greater amount of leisure sitting time as well as non-health-related motives to exercise. In order to recognize those at risk for disordered eating behavior, evaluating these factors could be beneficial
Profiles of sedentary and non-sedentary young men – a population-based Mopo study
Determinants of sedentary and non-sedentary lifestyles were multiple and partially overlapping. Recognizing individual patterns and underlying factors of the sedentary lifestyle is essential for tailored health promotion and interventions
Gamified physical activation of young men – a Multidisciplinary Population-Based Randomized Controlled Trial (Mopo study)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01376986
Frostbites in circumpolar areas
Circumpolar areas are associated with prolonged cold exposure where wind, precipitation, and darkness further aggravate the environmental conditions and the associated risks. Despite the climate warming, cold climatic conditions will prevail in circumpolar areas and contribute to adverse health effects. Frostbite is a freezing injury where localized damage affects the skin and other tissues. It occurs during occupational or leisure-time activitie…
