Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity is not associated with spirometric indices in lung-healthy German youth
Maia P. Smith,Andrea von Berg,Dietrich Berdel,Carl-Peter Bauer,Barbara Hoffmann,Sibylle Koletzko,Dennis Nowak,Joachim Heinrich,Holger Schulz +8 more
TL;DR: Spirometric indices were not significantly associated with active lifestyle or measures of activity in lung-healthy adolescents after adjustment for confounding and multiple-comparison artefacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diesel exhaust and coal mine dust: lung cancer risk in occupational settings.
TL;DR: There is sufficient evidence for a causal relationship between DE and lung cancer in occupational settings, but the evidence for coal mine dust is less convincing, but individual studies show an increase in risk of Lung cancer in exposed workers.
Book ChapterDOI
Air Pollution in Cities: Urban and Transport Planning Determinants and Health in Cities
TL;DR: In this paper, a modal shift to more public and active transportation seems to be the most promising avenue for healthy city planning, since people live, work, and commute in close proximity to traffic and traffic is the most important determinant of within-city exposure contrasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of exercise capacity and the heart rate profile during exercise stress testing with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis: data from the Heinz Nixdorf Recall study.
Stefan Möhlenkamp,Nils Lehmann,Axel Schmermund,Ulla Roggenbuck,Susanne Moebus,Nico Dragano,Marcus Bauer,Hagen Kälsch,Barbara Hoffmann,Andreas Stang,Martina Bröcker-Preuss,Michael Böhm,Klaus Mann,Karl-Heinz Jöckel,Raimund Erbel +14 more
TL;DR: The strong inverse association of exercise capacity, chronotropic response and abnormal HR recovery during exercise stress testing with the CAC burden in unadjusted unadjusted analysis is largely influenced by age, sex and cardiovascular RFs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial blood pressure responses to short-term exposure to fine and ultrafine particles from indoor sources – A randomized sham-controlled exposure study of healthy volunteers
Vanessa J. Soppa,Roel P.F. Schins,Frauke Hennig,Mark J. Nieuwenhuijsen,Bryan Hellack,Ulrich Quass,Heinz Kaminski,Birgitta Sasse,Samir Shinnawi,Thomas A. J. Kuhlbusch,Thomas A. J. Kuhlbusch,Barbara Hoffmann +11 more
TL;DR: This study suggests differential effects of indoor exposure on blood pressure depending on source and particle metric, and suggests an association of short‐term exposure to fine and ultrafine particles emitted from toasting bread with increases in BP.
