Long-term nutritional trends in the Finnish population estimated from a large laboratory database from 1987 to 2020.

The assessments of malnutrition in adults with MUST or NRS-2002 criteria do not give a detailed insight into the sufficiency of micronutrients. Sufficiency assessment of essential micronutrients on the individual level can be achieved only with laboratory measurements. The aim of this study was to estimate long-term trends in micronutrient sufficiency in the Finnish population with regards to gender and sex covariates.

Toxic Indoor Air Is a Potential Risk of Causing Immuno Suppression and Morbidity-A Pilot Study.

We aimed to establish an etiology-based connection between the symptoms experienced by the occupants of a workplace and the presence in the building of toxic dampness microbiota. The occupants (5/6) underwent a medical examination and urine samples (2/6) were analyzed by LC-MS/MS for mycotoxins at two time-points. The magnitude of inhaled water was estimated.

Moist and Mold Exposure is Associated With High Prevalence of Neurological Symptoms and MCS in a Finnish Hospital Workers Cohort.

Background: Indoor air dampness microbiota (DM) is a big health hazard. Sufficient evidence exists that exposure to DM causes new asthma or exacerbation, dyspnea, infections of upper airways and allergic alveolitis. Less convincing evidence has yet been published for extrapulmonary manifestations of dampness and mold hypersensitivity syndrome ).

The association between high sensitivity C-reactive protein and micronutrient levels: A cross-sectional analysis based on a laboratory database.

Background And Aims: Low-grade chronic inflammation is a condition underlying many serious diseases but there is no good single biomarker which can estimate and monitor the severity of the inflammation. C-reactive protein (CRP) is the best validated and most extensively used marker. The aims of the study were to investigate the extent to which CRP levels associate with levels of micronutrients.
