Physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and childhood asthma: a European collab...
Eijkemans, M; Mommers, M; Harskamp-van Ginkel, MW; Vrijkotte, TGM; Ludvigsson, J; Faresjö, Å; Bergström, A; Ekström, S; Grote, V; Koletzko, BOBJECTIVES: To investigate the associations of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour in early childhood with asthma and reduced lung function in later childhood within a large collaborative study. DESIGN: Pooling of longitudinal data from collaborating birth cohorts using meta-analysis of separate cohort-specific estimates and analysis of individual participant data of all cohorts combined. SETTING: Ch...
Assessing external exposome by implementing an Environmental Data Management Sy...
Tagliaferro, S; Maio, S; Pirona, F; Stanisci, I; Sarno, G; Silvi, P; Kermenidou, M; Papaioannou, N; Perchard, R; Prpic, I; Polanska, K; Jerzynska, JDue to the increasing importance of exposome in environmental epidemiology, feasibility and usefulness of an Environmental Data Management System (EDMS) using Open Data was evaluated. The EDMS includes data from 10 European cities (Celje (Slovenia), Łódź (Poland), Manchester (UK), Palermo (Italy), Paris (France), Porto (Portugal), Regensburg (Germany), Reus (Spain), Rijeka (Croatia), Thessaloniki (Greece)) abou...
Issue 2 - "Update on adverse respiratory effects of indoor air pollution" Part ...
Cavaleiro Rufo, J; Annesi-Maesano, I; Carreiro-Martins, P; Moreira, A; Sousa, AC; Pastorinho, MR; Neuparth, N; Taborda-Barata, LObjective To quantify the impact of different air pollutants on respiratory health based on robust estimates based on international data and to summarise the evidence of associations between indoor exposure to those pollutants and respiratory morbidity in the Portuguese population. Results Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses (MA) at the world level demonstrate the impact of indoor air quality on respir...

Clinical Standards for Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of Post-COVID-19 Lun...
Visca, D; Centis, R; Pontali, E; Zampogna, E; Russell, AM; Migliori, GB; Andrejak, C; Aro, M; Bayram, H; Berkani, K; Bruchfeld, J; Chakaya, JMBACKGROUND: The aim of these clinical standards is to provide guidance on 'best practice' care for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of post-COVID-19 lung disease.METHODS: A panel of international experts representing scientific societies, associations and groups active in post-COVID-19 lung disease was identified; 45 completed a Delphi process. A 5-point Likert scale indicated level of agreement with the...
How to quantify impacts of low-cost solutions to mitigate indoor air pollution ...
Branco, PTBS; Sousa, SIV; Morawska, L; Annesi-Maesano, I; Sá, JPAfter presentations and final discussion with all the participations, the main highlights/recommendations from this workshop are summarised in this section. Awareness of the impacts of IAP on health is still needed in the school community and can be done using low-cost monitoring. Moreover, if children are engaged in the monitoring (e.g. part of the curricula), they can take home the message, which helps to rai...
The Effect of Fire Smoke Exposure on Firefighters' Lung Function: A Meta-Analysis
Barbosa, JV; Farraia, M; Branco, PTBS; Alvim-Ferraz, MCM; Martins, FG; Annesi-Maesano, I; Sousa, SIVFirefighters are exposed to a range of harmful substances during firefighting. Exposure to fire smoke has been associated with a decrease in their lung function. However, the cause-effect relationship between those two factors is not yet demonstrated. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the potential associations between firefighters' occupational exposure and their lung function deterioration. Studies were id...
Early-life respiratory tract infections and the risk of school-age lower lung f...
van Meel, ER; Mensink-Bout, SM; den Dekker, HT; Ahluwalia, TS; Annesi-Maesano, I; Arshad, SH; Baïz, N; Barros, H; von Berg, A; Bisgaard, HBackground Early-life respiratory tract infections might affect chronic obstructive respiratory diseases, but conclusive studies from general populations are lacking. Our objective was to examine if children with early-life respiratory tract infections had increased risks of lower lung function and asthma at school age. Methods We used individual participant data of 150 090 children primarily from the EU Child ...
ARIA Digital Anamorphosis: Digital Transformation of Health and Care in Airway ...
Bousquet, J; Anto, JM; Bachert, C; Haahtela, T; Zuberbier, T; Czarlewski, W; Bedbrook, A; Bosnic-Anticevich, S; Walter Canonica, G; Cardona, V; Costa, EDigital anamorphosis is used to define a distorted image of health and care that may be viewed correctly using digital tools and strategies. MASK digital anamorphosis represents the process used by MASK to develop the digital transformation of health and care in rhinitis. It strengthens the ARIA change management strategy in the prevention and management of airway disease. The MASK strategy is based on validate...
The association between environmental exposures to chlordanes, adiposity and di...
Mendes, V; Ribeiro, C; Delgado, I; Peleteiro, B; Aggerbeck, M; Distel, E; Annesi-Maesano, I; Sarigiannis, D; Ramos, EChlordane compounds (CHLs) are components of technical chlordane listed in the Stockholm convention on persistent organic pollutants identified as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and may interfere with hormone biosynthesis, metabolism or action resulting in an unbalanced hormonal function. There is increasing scientific evidence showing EDCs as risk factors in the pathogenesis and development of obesity a...
