Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the health effects of atmospheric sulfur oxides and particulate matter: evidence from observational studies.
TL;DR: The currently available epidemiologic evidence from population studies of the health effects of atmospheric sulfur oxides and particulate matter is examined to approximate the exposure-response relationship linking pollutant concentrations with mortality and morbidity levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between air pollution exposure and exhaled nitric oxide in an elderly population
Gary Adamkiewicz,S Ebelt,M Syring,J Slater,Frank E. Speizer,Joel Schwartz,H Suh,Diane R. Gold +7 more
TL;DR: Ambient pollution may lead toAirway inflammation as measured by FeNO, a non-invasive measure of airway inflammation, which may be an important step in the pathogenesis of the cardiopulmonary effects induced by exposure to air pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The circumstances preceding death from asthma in young people in 1968 to 1969.
TL;DR: The circumstances preceding death from asthma were investigated in 52 young persons dying in Greater London and the South-East Lancashire conurbation between February 1968 and January 1969 and it is estimated that less than half the deaths studied would have been caused by the epidemic factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eunyoung Cho,JoAnn E. Manson,Meir J. Stampfer,Caren G. Solomon,Graham A. Colditz,Frank E. Speizer,Walter C. Willett,Frank B. Hu +7 more
TL;DR: Findings provide strong evidence that obesity and weight gain before diagnosis of diabetes are associated with future risk of CHD among women with type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between airway responsiveness to histamine and pulmonary function level in a random population sample.
TL;DR: BR appeared to be an independent predictor of pulmonary function level after adjustment for age, sex, area of residence, respiratory symptom prevalence, and cigarette smoking.
