Influence of Air Pollution Exposures on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: a Review
Current Environmental Health Reports - - Trang 1-7 - 2023
The increasing prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) contributes to the rise in cardiovascular disease. Previous research has established a connection between air pollution and both the development and severity of CRFs. Given the ongoing impact of air pollution on human health, this review aims to summarize the latest research findings and provide an overview of the relationship betwee......
Do Mental Health Changes in Nature Co-occur with Changes in Heartrate Variability and Executive Functioning? A Systematic Review
Current Environmental Health Reports - Tập 10 - Trang 278-290 - 2023
Given the global burden of mental health issues, new solutions are needed to promote mental health. Nature exposure represents a promising option to promote mental health, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. Recent frameworks have argued that changes in mental health in nature are caused by activity changes in the vagus nerve, which connects the heart and the brain, and that these changes al......
Projecting the Impacts of a Changing Climate: Tropical Cyclones and Flooding
Current Environmental Health Reports - Tập 9 - Trang 244-262 - 2022
There is clear evidence that the earth’s climate is changing, largely from anthropogenic causes. Flooding and tropical cyclones have clear impacts on human health in the United States at present, and projections of their health impacts in the future will help inform climate policy, yet to date there have been few quantitative climate health impact projections. Despite a wealth of studies character......
Integrating -Omics Approaches into Human Population-Based Studies of Prenatal and Early-Life Exposures
Current Environmental Health Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 328-337 - 2018
We present the study design and methodological suggestions for population-based studies that integrate molecular -omics data and highlight recent studies that have used such data to examine the potential impacts of prenatal environmental exposures on fetal health. Epidemiologic studies have observed numerous relationships between prenatal exposures (smoking, toxic metals, endocrine disruptors) and......
Little to Give, Much to Gain—What Can You Do With a Dried Blood Spot?
Current Environmental Health Reports - Tập 7 - Trang 211-221 - 2020
Technological advances have allowed dried blood spots (DBS) to be utilized for various measurements, helpful in population-based studies. The following is a review of the literature highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of DBS and describing their use in multiple areas of research. DBS can track pollutant exposure to understand their impact on health. DBS can also be used for (epi-)genetic......
Supporting Decarbonization of Health Systems—A Review of International Policy and Practice on Health Care and Climate Change
Current Environmental Health Reports - - Trang 1-13 - 2024
Healthcare is a significant contributor of carbon emissions, which contribute to climate change. There has been an increased focus on the role healthcare should play in reducing emissions in recent years. This review, completed in September and October 2022, explored national commitments among 73 countries to reduce emissions from healthcare and the policies and delivery plans that exist to suppor......
Manganese Toxicity Upon Overexposure: a Decade in Review
Current Environmental Health Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 315-328 - 2015
Exposure to manganese (Mn) causes clinical signs and symptoms resembling, but not identical to, Parkinson’s disease. Since our last review on this subject in 2004, the past decade has been a thriving period in the history of Mn research. This report provides a comprehensive review on new knowledge gained in the Mn research field. Emerging data suggest that beyond traditionally recognized occupatio......
Heavy Metal Exposure and Metabolic Syndrome: Evidence from Human and Model System Studies
Current Environmental Health Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 110-124 - 2018
Metabolic syndrome (MS) describes the co-occurrence of conditions that increase one’s risk for heart disease and other disorders such as diabetes and stroke. The worldwide increase in the prevalence of MS cannot be fully explained by lifestyle factors such as sedentary behavior and caloric intake alone. Environmental exposures, such as heavy metals, have been implicated, but results are conflictin......
Perinatal Metal and Metalloid Exposures and Offspring Cardiovascular Health Risk
Current Environmental Health Reports - Tập 9 - Trang 714-734 - 2022
Toxic metal exposures have been associated with cardiovascular disease in adults and growing evidence suggests metal exposures also adversely affect cardiovascular phenotypes in childhood and adolescence. However, to our knowledge, the influence of perinatal metals exposure, particularly metal mixtures, in relation to cardiovascular-related outcomes have not been comprehensively reviewed. We summa......
DNA Methylation in Whole Blood: Uses and Challenges
Current Environmental Health Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 145-154 - 2015
Due to its convenience, the blood is commonly used in epigenomic studies, but its heterogeneous nature leads to interpretation difficulties, given the now widely recognized potential for confounding by cell composition effects. Many recent publications have reported significant associations between DNA methylation and a variety of health conditions or exposures. In this review, we summarize many o......
