Mortality and Morbidity Effects of Long-Term Exposure to Low-Level PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > , BC, NO < sub > 2 < /sub > , and O < sub > 3 < /sub > : An Analysis of European Cohorts in the ELAPSE Project
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term exposure to PM2.5, NO2, and BC was positively associated with natural-cause and cause-specific mortality in the pooled cohort and the administrative cohorts. Associations were found well below current limit values and guidelines for PM2.5 and NO2. Associations tended to be supralinear, with steeper slopes at low exposures with no indication of a threshold. Two-pollutant models documented the importance of characterizing the ambient mixture with both NO2 and PM2.5. We mostly found negative associations with O3. In two-pollutant models with NO2, the negative associations with O3 were attenuated to esse...

Sleep and physical activity in relation to all-cause, cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality risk
Conclusion The detrimental associations of poor sleep with all-cause and cause-specific mortality risks are exacerbated by low PA, suggesting likely synergistic effects. Our study supports the need to target both behaviours in research and clinical practice.

Informing Radiotherapy Decisions in Stage I/IIa Hodgkin Lymphoma: Modelling Life Expectancy Using Radiation Dosimetry
Blood Adv. 2021 Dec 6:bloodadvances.2021006254. doi: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2021006254. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recent randomized trials, omitting consolidative radiotherapy in early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (ESHL) increased relapses. However, decades of follow-up are required to observe whether lower initial disease control is compensated by reduced risk of late effects. Extrapolation beyond trial follow-up is therefore necessary to inform current treatment decisions. To this end, we developed a microsimulation model to estimate lifetime quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) after combined modality treatment (CMT) or ...

Modelling the impact of compliance fruit and vegetable intake recommendations on mortality in Russia
ConclusionsThe modelling illustrates the potentially large social benefits of compliance with national fruit and vegetable intake recommendations.Key messagesDespite strong evidence indicating that low fruit and vegetable intake relates to chronic diseases and mortality, most adults do not comply with dietary recommendations.The modelling illustrates the potentially large social benefits of compliance with national fruit and vegetable intake recommendations.

Sleep duration and health outcomes: an umbrella review
CONCLUSION: Inappropriate sleep duration is a risk factor for developing non-cancer conditions. Decreasing and increasing sleep hours towards extreme sleep durations are associated with poor health outcomes.PMID:34435311 | DOI:10.1007/s11325-021-02458-1

Secondhand Smoke Exposure Among Nonsmoking Adults: United States, 2015-2018.
This report examines the prevalence of SHS exposure among nonsmoking U.S. adults in 2015-2018 based on blood levels of cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine. Trends in SHS exposure are also presented. PMID: 33541515 [PubMed - in process]

Increased Risk of Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke in Lung Cancer Survivors: A Korean Nationwide Study of 20,458 patients
Lung cancer is currently one of the most common cancers worldwide, with increasing rates of diagnoses. There are 2,093,876 annual incident cases of lung cancer worldwide,[1] with 234,030 in the US[2] and 25,780 in Korea.[3] With the advancement of lung cancer treatments, the survivorship of lung cancer patients has improved. Five-year survival rates for localized lung cancer has increased from 49%[4] to 56%[2] in the US, with rates increasing from 16.5% to 27.1% for all lung cancer stages in Korea.[5] As a result, the number of lung cancer survivors has increased substantially, with an estimated 526,510 lung cancer survivo...

Efficacy of smoking cessation with varenicline plus counselling for e-cigarettes users (VAREVAPE): A protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Abstract Tobacco smoking is a global pandemic that poses substantial health burdens and costs. With nearly six million deaths annually, smoking is the single most important cause of avoidable premature mortality in the world, mainly from lung cancer, coronary heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and stroke. Smoking is a very difficult addiction to break, even for those with a strong desire to quit. Electronic cigarettes are an attractive long-term alternative source of nicotine to conventional cigarettes because of their many similarities with smoking. Electronic cigarette users report buying them ...
