Burden of disease attributable to risk factors in European countries: a scoping...
Gorasso, V; Morgado, JN; Charalampous, P; Pires, SM; Haagsma, JA; Santos, JV; Idavain, J; Ngwa, CH; Noguer, I; Padron-Monedero, A; Sarmiento, RObjectives Within the framework of the burden of disease (BoD) approach, disease and injury burden estimates attributable to risk factors are a useful guide for policy formulation and priority setting in disease prevention. Considering the important differences in methods, and their impact on burden estimates, we conducted a scoping literature review to: (1) map the BoD assessments including risk factors perfor...
Methodological considerations in injury burden of disease studies across Europe...
Charalampous, P; Pallari, E; Gorasso, V; Von Der Lippe, E; Devleesschauwer, B; Pires, SM; Plass, D; Idavain, J; Ngwa, CH; Noguer, I; Padron-Monedero, ABackground Calculating the disease burden due to injury is complex, as it requires many methodological choices. Until now, an overview of the methodological design choices that have been made in burden of disease (BoD) studies in injury populations is not available. The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify existing injury BoD studies undertaken across Europe and to comprehensively review the...
Increasing Seaweed Consumption in the Netherlands and Portugal and the Conseque...
Vellinga, RE; Sam, M; Verhagen, H; Jakobsen, LS; Ravn Haren, G; Sugimoto, M; Torres, Duarte; Katagiri, R; Thu, BJ; Granby, K; Hoekstra, J; Temme, EHMBackground: Seaweed has a high potential for nourishing the future planet. However, besides being beneficial, it also contains adverse components; this poses the question whether consumption of seaweed foods overall contributes beneficially or detrimentally to human health, and hence if their consumption should be promoted or restricted. Methods: This study evaluated the impact of substituting regular foods wit...
Risk-benefit assessment of cereal-based foods consumed by portuguese children a...
Assunção, R; Boué, G; Alvito, P; Brazão, R; Carmona, P; Carvalho, C; Correia, D; Fernandes, P; Lopes, C; Martins, C; Membré, JM; Monteiro, S; Nabais, PCereal-based foods, including breakfast (BC) and infant cereals (IC), are among the first solid foods introduced to infants. BC and IC are sources of macro and micronutrients that have bene-ficial effects on health, but can also be sources of harmful chemical and microbiological contaminants and nutrients that may lead to adverse health effects at high consumption levels. This study was performed under the Risk...
Building capacity in risk-benefit assessment of foods: Lessons learned from the...
Assuncao, R; Alvito, P; Brazao, R; Carmona, P; Fernandes, P; Jakobsen, LS; Lopes, C; Martins, C; Membre, JM; Monteiro, S; Nabais, P; Thomsen, STBackground: Human diet may present both risks and benefits to consumers' health. Risk-benefit assessment of foods (RBA) intends to estimate the overall health impact associated with exposure (or lack of exposure) to a particular food or food component. Scope and approach: "RiskBenefit4EU - Partnering to strengthen the risk-benefit assessment within EU using a holistic approach" (RB4EU) is a project funded by th...
