Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between home radon exposure and stroke risk in middle-aged and older women in the U.S., using data from the Women's Health Initiative cohort of postmenopausal women.
- - Results show that women exposed to radon levels of 2-4 pCi/L and over 4 pCi/L had increased risks of stroke compared to those with lower exposures, with specific risks associated with different types of strokes.
- - The findings suggest that even radon levels below the EPA's mitigation threshold can pose a health risk, highlighting the need for further evaluation of radon exposure and its potential effects on stroke.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential link between radon exposure and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), which may increase the risk of blood cancers and heart diseases.
- Researchers analyzed data from nearly 11,000 participants to assess the relationship between indoor radon levels and the presence of CHIP, noting varying risks based on radon concentration zones.
- Results showed that higher radon exposure (in Zones 1 and 2) is associated with an increased risk of CHIP in individuals who have had ischemic strokes, whereas no significant risks were found in those with hemorrhagic strokes or those without stroke histories.
Article Synopsis
- Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) can lead to increased risks of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and mortality among individuals, particularly affecting postmenopausal women.
- The study assessed the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) at both individual and neighborhood levels on the prevalence of CHIP, incorporating factors like education, income, and personal resources.
- Results indicate that better neighborhood SES correlates with a slight increase in CHIP risk, but high levels of optimism among women appear to reduce this risk, suggesting that positive psychological factors may mitigate the effects of socio-economic disadvantage on health.
Introduction: In the Greater Eastern region of France, a primary prevention intervention in perinatal care has shown promising results on child development. In order to make this intervention transferable and sustainable outside a research context, it was adapted into a universal family health program. The PERL (Petite Enfance Recherche-action en Lorraine: early childhood research-action in Lorraine) research-action aimed to evaluate the effects of this new intervention.

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated problems and triggered a decline in well-being, with drastic increase in the incidence of conditions such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Approximately 20,000 mental health apps are listed in mobile app stores.

Some parenting support and home visitation programs have proven to be effective in assisting parents during this period. France's (maternal and child welfare) services (PMIs) are at the heart of this primary prevention and may adapt their intervention to improve parenting support.
