Article Synopsis
- Radon is a radioactive gas that can increase the risk of lung cancer, and researchers studied this relationship using data from a large group of people from Europe, North America, and Israel.
- They found that lower levels of radon exposure (under 200 Bq/m) had a complex effect on lung cancer risk, with the lowest risk at an exposure of 58 Bq/m.
- The study showed that men and younger people (under 69) were more affected by radon exposure, and the results suggest that measuring radon exposure might not always follow the usual rules we think it does.
Article Synopsis
- * The newly developed multi-ancestry PRS showed a strong correlation with LUAD risk, indicating that individuals in the highest PRS percentile had significantly increased risk compared to those in the lowest.
- * Findings suggest that those in the highest risk category have a lifetime risk of about 6.69%, and they reach the average population's 10-year risk for LUAD by age 41, highlighting the importance of multi-ancestry PRS for better risk assessment in this group.
Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most frequent tumor in men worldwide; however, its etiology remains largely unknown, with the exception of age and family history. The wide variability in incidence/mortality across countries suggests a certain role for environmental exposures that has not yet been clarified.
Objective: To evaluate the association between risk of PC (by clinical profile) and residential proximity to pollutant industrial installations (by industrial groups, groups of carcinogens, and specific pollutants released), within the context of a Spanish population-based multicase-control study of incident cancer (MCC-Spain).
Total worker health based public health prevention strategy.
Curr Opin Epidemiol Public Health
June 2024
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explore the public health approach for Infection Prevention within the Total Worker Health (TWH) framework strategy.
Recent Findings: The review identifies certain occupations considered high-risk groups for infection. It underscores primary, secondary, and tertiary public health preventive measures align with the TWH approach.
Introduction: Ambient air temperature may affect birth outcomes adversely, but little is known about their impact on foetal growth throughout pregnancy. We evaluated the association between temperature exposure during pregnancy and foetal size and growth in three European birth cohorts.
Methods: We studied 23,408 pregnant women from the English Born in Bradford cohort, Dutch Generation R Study, and Spanish INMA Project.
