Ursula Krämer,Christian Herder,Dorothea Sugiri,Klaus Strassburger,Tamara Schikowski,Ulrich Ranft,Wolfgang Rathmann +6 more
TLDR
Traffic-related air pollution is associated with incident type 2 diabetes among elderly women, and C3c was associated with PM pollution at baseline and was a strong independent predictor of incident diabetes.Citations

The worldwide epidemiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus--present and future perspectives
TL;DR: The causes of Type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes are embedded in a very complex group of genetic and epigenetic systems interacting within an equally complex societal framework that determines behavior and environmental influences as mentioned in this paper.
Review of evidence on health aspects of air pollution – REVIHAAP Project. Technical Report. World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe 2013
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present answers to 24 questions relevant to reviewing European policies on air pollution and to addressing health aspects of these policies, which were developed by a large group of scientists engaged in the WHO project REVIHAAP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particles, air quality, policy and health
TL;DR: This article reviews the current approaches to source apportionment of ambient particles and the latest evidence for their health effects, and describes the current metrics, policies and legislation for the protection of public health from ambient particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution and public health: emerging hazards and improved understanding of risk
Frank J. Kelly,Julia C. Fussell +1 more
TL;DR: Data strongly suggest that effects have no threshold within the studied range of ambient concentrations, can occur at levels close to PM2.5 background concentrations and that they follow a mostly linear concentration–response function.

Ikenna C. Eze,Lars G. Hemkens,Heiner C. Bucher,Barbara Hoffmann,Christian Schindler,Nino Künzli,Tamara Schikowski,Nicole Probst-Hensch +7 more
TL;DR: Existing evidence indicates a positive association of air pollution and T2DM risk, albeit there is high risk of bias.

Cardiovascular Mortality and Long-Term Exposure to Particulate Air Pollution Epidemiological Evidence of General Pathophysiological Pathways of Disease
C. Arden Pope,Richard T. Burnett,George D. Thurston,Michael J. Thun,Eugenia E. Calle,Daniel Krewski,John J. Godleski +6 more
TL;DR: Fine particulate air pollution is a risk factor for cause-specific cardiovascular disease mortality via mechanisms that likely include pulmonary and systemic inflammation, accelerated atherosclerosis, and altered cardiac autonomic function.

Long-Term Exposure to Air Pollution and Incidence of Cardiovascular Events in Women
Kristin A. Miller,David S. Siscovick,Lianne Sheppard,Kristen Shepherd,Jeffrey H. Sullivan,Garnet L. Anderson,Joel D. Kaufman +6 more
TL;DR: Long-term exposure to fine particulate air pollution is associated with the incidence of cardiovascular disease and death among postmenopausal women and the between-city effect appeared to be smaller than the within- city effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urbanization, Lifestyle Changes and the Nutrition Transition
TL;DR: Broad shifts are occurring at a rapid pace in the structure of diet, physical activity patterns, and obesity patterns in urban areas in lower income countries, particularly their urban populations.

Cytokines and the hepatic acute-phase response.
G. Ramadori,Bruno Christ +1 more
TL;DR: Attention is payed to the differences recently detected between the locally and systemically induced acute-phase response--in particular, the newest findings concerning the meaning of single cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokines and the hepatic acute phase response
TL;DR: The acute phase response is an orchestrated response to tissue injury, infection or inflammation, and a prominent feature of this response is the induction of acute phase proteins, which are involved in the restoration of homeostasis.
