Climate-compounded health effects and social justice intersections in regional, rural and remote Australia
This scoping review examines current academic literature that identifies how climate change (climate variability and extreme weather events) is impacting marginalised communities’ health and wellbeing in regional, rural, and remote (RRR) Australia. Specifically, this review examines socio-demographic sub-group differences (e.g. age, gender, disabilities, culturally or racially marginalised) of those affected by climate change and identifies how t…
Intense and problematic social media use and sleep difficulties of adolescents in 40 countries
INTRODUCTION: Social media has become a ubiquitous part of everyday life; however, evidence suggests patterns of social media use can affect sleep health in children and adolescents. This study aimed to examine the associations of intense and problematic social media use (SMU) with sleep-onset difficulties in adolescence. METHODS: We analysed data from 212,613 adolescents aged 11-15 years (51.1% girls) from 40 European and North American countrie…
Environmental Influences on the Behavioural and Emotional Outcomes of Children
Exceeding Mn levels is potentially toxic and has been identified to be associated with worse externalized children's behavioural health and emotional well-being. Future studies are necessary to find the exposure paths so that advice shall be provided to family and care providers in public health and environmental protection
Association of Pesticides and Kidney Function among Adults in the US Population 2001–2010
Chronic kidney disease of unknown cause is prevalent in a range of communities; however, its etiology remains unclear. We examined the association between pesticide exposures and the risk of kidney function loss using four waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to identify a pathological pathway. We pooled data from four cross-sectional waves of NHANES, with 41,847 participants in total. Exposure to malathion incre…
Exposure to Toenail Heavy Metals and Child Behavior Problems in Nine-Year-Old Children
Regular monitoring and assessments of children for environmental risk factors, as well as social and lifestyle factors for behavior problems, continues. Alternative indicators of exposure to heavy metal should be evaluated
Mercury Exposure in Mother-Children Pairs in A Seafood Eating Population
Background: Mercury is a neurotoxin that affects neurodevelopment in children; however, its association at the lowest concentration is not clear. The main objective of this study is to measure and evaluate mercury concentrations in mother-child pairs and its association demographics, lifestyle, and dietary factors within the Pacific Island Families living in Auckland, New Zealand. Methods: Mercury exposure was assessed in a sub-sample of mother-c…
Household Smoking Status and Heavy Metal Concentrations in Toenails of Children
There is limited evidence on the distribution of heavy metals and its association with secondhand smoking (SHS) within Pacific Island children living in New Zealand. Certain heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and aluminum (Al) bioaccumulates in the body and can deteriorate health in both children and adults. Others, such as chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) in trace amounts are necessary but become toxic at high levels. Exposure routes of …
