  • Association Between Physical Activity and Risk of Depression

    Matthew Pearce, Leandro Garcia et al.ARTICLEJAMA Psychiatry2022

  • Air pollution, physical activity and health

    Open AccessMarko Tainio, Zorana Jovanovic Andersen et al.ARTICLEEnvironment International2021

    BACKGROUND: Exposure to air pollution and physical inactivity are both significant risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These risk factors are also linked so that the change in exposure in one will impact risks and benefits of the other. These links are well captured in the active transport (walking, cycling) health impact models, in which the increases in active transport leading to increased inhaled dose of air pollution. However,…

  • Sedentary behaviour and risk of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality, and incident type 2 diabetes

  • Burden of Mortality and Disease Attributable to Multiple Air Pollutants in Warsaw, Poland

    Open AccessPiotr Holnicki, Marko Tainio et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2017

    Air pollution is a significant public health issue all over the world, especially in urban areas where a large number of inhabitants are affected. In this study, we quantify the health burden due to local air pollution for Warsaw, Poland. The health impact of the main air pollutants, PM, NO X , SO2, CO, C6H6, BaP and heavy metals is considered. The annual mean concentrations are predicted with the CALPUFF air quality modeling system using the yea…

  • Can air pollution negate the health benefits of cycling and walking?

    Open AccessMarko Tainio, Audrey de Nazelle et al.ARTICLEPreventive Medicine2016

    Active travel (cycling, walking) is beneficial for the health due to increased physical activity (PA). However, active travel may increase the intake of air pollution, leading to negative health consequences. We examined the risk-benefit balance between active travel related PA and exposure to air pollution across a range of air pollution and PA scenarios. The health effects of active travel and air pollution were estimated through changes in all…

  • Severity of injuries in different modes of transport, expressed with disability-adjusted life years (Dalys)

    Open AccessMarko Tainio, Dorota Olkowicz et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    The results show that shifting modes of transport will not only change the likelihood of injuries but also the severity of injuries sustained, if injured. The results of this study can be used to predict DALY changes in HIA studies that take into account mode shifts between different transport modes, and in other studies predicting the health effects of traffic injuries

  • OP21 Modelled Health Impacts of the London Cycle Hire Scheme

    A Goodman, Marko Tainio et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013

    Background Bicycle sharing systems are being implemented in many cities worldwide, but have received little robust evaluation. We modelled the impacts of the London cycle hire scheme (LCH) upon the health of its users. Methods Data sources included total-population operational registration and usage data for LCH (April 2011-March 2012); surveys of LCH users (2011); and London data on travel, physical activity, road traffic collisions and PM2.5 ai…

  • The health risks and benefits of cycling in urban environments compared with car use

    Open AccessDavid Rojas‐Rueda, D Rojas-Rueda et al.ARTICLEBMJ2011

    Introduction: Obesity is a major risk factor for developing sleep apnea syndrome. CPAP is its treatment. Moreover, the use of CPAP may decrease perioperative complications in patients who have to undergo bariatric surgery. - Objective: To study the prevalence of OSAS in morbidly obese subjects. - Methods: We studied all patients who were referred to our unit of sleep disorders with an obesity diagnosis, using the following inclusion criteria: BMI…

  • An economic way of reducing health, environmental, and other pressures of urban traffic
