The influence of the exposome on major health conditions like cardiovascular disease (CVD) is widely recognized. However, integrating diverse exposome factors into predictive models for personalized health assessments remains a challenge due to the complexity and variability of environmental exposures and lifestyle factors. A machine learning (ML) model designed for predicting CVD risk is introduced in this study, relying on easily accessible exposome factors.

Background: Comprehensive environmental risk characterization, encompassing physical, chemical, social, ecological, and lifestyle stressors, necessitates innovative approaches to handle the escalating complexity. This is especially true when considering individual and population-level diversity, where the myriad combinations of real-world exposures magnify the combinatoric challenges. The GeoTox framework offers a tractable solution by integrating geospatial exposure data from source-to-outcome in a series of modular, interconnected steps.

The recently introduced concept of 'exposome' emphasizes the impact of non-traditional threats onto cardiovascular health. Among these, air pollutants - particularly fine particulate matter < 2.5 μm (PM2.

While biomonitoring approaches are frequently employed for assessing chemical exposure, many of them are constrained to a limited number of target chemicals, running counter to our current understanding of interactions within chemical mixtures and the growing evidence of multiple exposures within human populations. Although authors agree on the need for more comprehensive methodologies, literature provides insufficient evidence of the multifaceted nature of exposure and of the benefit of widening the analytical scope to improve exposure assessment. Moreover, although multiple exposures are generally admitted, very few are known on the scale of the human chemical exposome.

December 2024

Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute, Chicago, IL; Department of Pediatrics, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to understand parents' views on using home monitoring technologies for early childhood research, focusing on their concerns and enthusiasm.
  • Participants included new and expecting parents who took part in interviews about hypothetical studies involving wearable devices, audio monitoring, and environmental sampling.
  • Themes from the interviews indicated that while parents were generally positive about participation, they raised concerns about safety, data privacy, and the logistical challenges of involvement, highlighting the need for trust and transparency from researchers.
