Mortalità per cause cardiovascolari e respiratorie attribuibile all'esposizione alle emissioni di una centrale a carbone: una proposta per stimare l'accorciamento individuale di vita.

Background: the exposure to a coal-fired power plant has been shown to increase mortality both for cardiovascular and respiratory causes among an exposed cohort in comparison with a cohort of unexposed. Hazard ratios between 1.30 and 1.

Childhood infectious diseases and risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma according to the WHO classification: A reanalysis of the Italian multicenter case-control study.

Since 1960, incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been increasing in most industrialized countries, but causes of this trend remain unclear. A role of the decreased exposure to infectious agents during childhood has been proposed. Our study evaluates the association between common childhood infectious diseases and the risk of NHL and its major subtypes by a reanalysis of the Italian multicenter case-control study.

[Rate advancement assessment: a case study].

Objective: to re-evaluate the meaning of attributable risk assessing the event advancement as an individual effect indicator.

Design: mortality descriptive study of cardiovascular and respiratory causes in two populations exposed to different emission levels from a coal-fired power plant.

Setting And Participants: people residing in 23 Italian municipalities (100,725 subjects) aged 35-84 years observed from 2000 to 2007.
