The long-tern implications of stress during university for individuals' mental health are not well understood so far. Hence, we aimed to examine the potential effect of stress while studying at university on depression in later life. We analysed data from two waves of the longitudinal Study on Occupational Allergy Risks.

Background: Using disinfectants and cleaning products (DCPs) at home and work is known to influence both the onset and course of asthma, but most epidemiological studies did not consider the multiplicity and correlations of exposures to DCPs. We aimed to identify exposure profiles for the long-term weekly use of DCPs by latent class analysis (LCA) and assess their associations with asthma.

Methods: LCA was conducted on data from 1143 young adults initially recruited in the German centers of Phase II of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) and followed up three times.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the link between long-term air pollution exposure and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in two large European cohorts, highlighting the burden ESKD poses on patients and healthcare systems.
  • In the Austrian cohort (VHM&PP), increased black carbon and nitrogen dioxide showed potential associations with ESKD, but findings were not statistically significant.
  • Conversely, in the Italian cohort (RoLS), fine particulate matter was significantly associated with ESKD, indicating that the impact of air pollution on kidney health may differ based on the specific pollutants present in different regions.

Despite the known link between air pollution and cause-specific mortality, its relation to chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated mortality is understudied. Therefore, we investigated the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and CKD-related mortality in a large multicentre population-based European cohort. Cohort data were linked to local mortality registry data.
