Traffic-related air pollution, road traffic noise, and Parkinson's disease: Evaluations in two Dutch cohort studies.

Background: Environmental factors such as air pollution have been associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), but findings have been inconsistent. We investigated the association between exposure to several air pollutants, road traffic noise, and PD risk in two Dutch cohorts.

Methods: Data from 50,087 participants from two Dutch population-based cohort studies, European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition in the Netherlands and Arbeid, Milieu en Gezondheid Onderzoek were analyzed.

Associations of light exposure patterns with sleep among Dutch children: The ABCD cohort study.

Light exposure affects the circadian system and consequently can affect sleep quality. Only few studies examined this relationship in children. We evaluated associations between light exposure patterns and sleep metrics in children.
