Dementia Care Research and Psychosocial Factors.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Our authors from around the world met to summarise the available knowledge, decide which potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia have compelling evidence and create the most comprehensive analysis to date for potentially modifiable risk factors to inform policy, give individuals the opportunity to control their risks and generate research.
Method: We incorporated all risk factors for which we judged there was strong enough evidence. We used the largest recent worldwide meta-analyses for risk factor prevalence and relative risk and if not available the best data.
Dementia Care Research and Psychosocial Factors.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: The 2020 Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention and care estimated that up to 40% of dementia cases could be prevented by tackling 12 potentially modifiable risk factors, namely less education, hearing loss, hypertension, physical inactivity, diabetes, social isolation, excessive alcohol consumption, air pollution, smoking, obesity, traumatic brain injury, depression. As more evidence on risk factors emerges, the Lancet standing commission on dementia met to update evidence on established dementia risk factors and to consider the evidence for other risk factors.
Method: We used a lifecourse approach to understand how to reduce risk or prevent dementia, as many risks operate at different timepoints in the lifespan.
Environmental PM Exposure: An Ignored Factor Associated with Blood Cadmium Level in Hemodialysis Patients.

Department of Nephrology and Clinical Poison Center, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Taoyuan, Taiwan, Republic of China.
Background: The negative impacts of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM) are well known. Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) have significantly higher blood cadmium levels (BCLs) than healthy individuals.

Center for Advances in Water and Air Quality, Lamar University, Beaumont, TX 77710, USA.
Wetlands in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are a unique and fragile ecosystem undergoing rapid changes. We show two unique patterns of mercury (Hg) accumulation in wetland sediments. One is the 'surface peak' in monsoon-controlled regions and the other is the 'subsurface peak' in westerly-controlled regions.

Data Brief
February 2024
Department of Environmental Sciences, Jožef Stefan Institute, Jamova cesta 39, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia.
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the effects of air pollution on human health, it is imperative to assess exposure at an individual level. This necessitates the use of personal monitoring equipment that can record exposure in real-time while simultaneously capturing relevant biometric data and the activities being undertaken by the individual. The dataset presented herein encompasses data from five distinct sources, collected in Ljubljana, Slovenia: (a) Questionnaire filled out by all participants for general information, i.
