Excited to announce our latest publication 🚀 ! Check out our latest publication in Environmental Research titled 𝐒𝐞𝐱-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 – 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐅𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲! Research by Fiona Niedermayer and colleagues reveals that higher air pollution, temperature, and lack of greenness are linked to diabetes in men. Moreover, associations of environmental exposures with obesity showed an additional effect modification by urbanization, suggesting adverse effects of higher air pollution and lack of greenness on obesity in men living in urban areas.   Overall this study emphasizes the relationship between environmental exposures and metabolic health, with notable sex differences and additional effect modification by urbanization. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/djytSkpK #Epidemiology #Urbanization #Metabolic #Obesity #Diabetes #Environment #AirPollution #EnvironmentalResearch #KORAStudy

🎉 Our latest paper on the link between environmental factors and metabolic health is now published!   Our study reveals new insights into how our environment affects metabolic health. We've found evidence that in urban areas, adverse environmental factors are associated with a higher prevalence of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, especially in men.   🔍 Want to dive into the details?

There's a significant disparity in data regarding the threat of extreme heat in the US. According to the CDC, approximately 700 Americans succumb to heat-related illnesses annually. However, a comprehensive excess death analysis published in 2020 by Environmental Epidemiology indicates a much higher figure of over 5,600 deaths. This discrepancy raises questions about the accuracy and classification of such fatalities. The complexity and magnitude of heat-related deaths pose challenges in comparison to other environmental incidents. Consequently, many medical examiners label these deaths as "undetermined" when the cause of death is not explicitly stated, such as a lack of water in hot conditions. Understanding and addressing these discrepancies are crucial for enhancing public health strategies and mitigating the impacts of extreme heat.

📣Job Advert No2: Post doc in environmental epidemiology/biostatistics at INSERM CNRS Grenoble University working on ATHLETE project (https://lnkd.in/eishHwke) to better understand and prevent health effects of numerous environmental hazards and their mixtures, starting from the earliest stages of life. In this project, the epidemiological approach is based on data from several European cohorts involved in the ATHLETE programme. The candidate will be specifically in charge of conducting statistical association analyses to assess the impact of early-life exposure to "urban" environmental factors (air pollution, green spaces, noise, etc.) on wheezing phenotypes and on the development of asthma up to adolescence. Analyses will be carried out on the DataSHIELD platform (for analyzing biomedical data with a high level of data security). 12-month fixed term contract to be started in October 2024. Applicants should send a CV and a motivation letter to Valérie Siroux (valerie.siroux@univgrenoble-alpes.fr) before 11th July.

🌍🦟 Advancing Mosquito Taxonomy and Its Crucial Role in Epidemiology and Climate Change 🦟🌍 As a dedicated scientist with nearly two decades of experience in mosquito taxonomy and ecology, I've witnessed firsthand the pivotal role these insects play in global health and biodiversity. Our comprehensive work encompasses: 🔬 Taxonomy of Mosquitoes: Documenting and classifying a vast array of mosquito species, contributing to the understanding of over 3500 valid species. This foundational work is critical for ecological and epidemiological studies. 📍 Species Distribution and Classification: Analyzing the geographic distribution and classification of mosquito species, which is essential for understanding their ecological roles and potential health impacts. 🦠 Identification of Epidemiologically Important Species: Leveraging cutting-edge diagnostic tools, including molecular biology, to accurately identify species involved in disease transmission. This is vital for effective epidemiological surveillance worldwide. 🌡️ Impact of Global Climate Change: Studying how climate change is altering mosquito distribution and expanding the range of arboviruses, posing new challenges for global health. The importance of taxonomists and advanced diagnostic tools cannot be overstated. Accurate species identification is crucial for tracking and controlling vectors that spread pathogens causing diseases like malaria, dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. 🚀 Calling Aspiring Taxonomists: We are excited to invite undergraduate students with a passion for taxonomy to join us in this vital work. This is an incredible opportunity to contribute to impactful research, gain hands-on experience, and collaborate with leading experts in the field. I invite my fellow researchers and esteemed institutions around the world to join in this crucial work. Together, we can enhance our understanding and develop strategies to mitigate the impacts of vector-borne diseases in a changing world. #MosquitoTaxonomy #Epidemiology #GlobalHealth #ClimateChange #VectorBiology #MolecularBiology #DiseaseSurveillance #PublicHealth #ResearchImpact #Biodiversity #Arboviruses #ScientificResearch #UndergraduateResearch #FutureScientists WHO recruitment World Health Organization Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Institut Pasteur London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London FIOCRUZ - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz The National Institutes of Health Harvard University Harvard Public Health magazine Harvard Public Health magazine

🌍 Proud to Present at the APHA Conference 2024! 🌱 I am excited that this research has been accepted for publication with the Journal of Ecology and Environmental Science.🎉 “Association of Diabetes Outcome and Atrazine Exposure Among Pennsylvania Counties, 2011-2019.” This study highlights a strong link between atrazine exposure—a widely used herbicide—and higher diabetes rates across Pennsylvania. Our findings emphasize how environmental exposures, particularly in socioeconomically vulnerable populations, can increase health risks, underscoring the need for stronger public health measures and environmental protections. By analyzing data over a nine-year period, this research explores how factors like race, income, and geography shape the relationship between atrazine and diabetes outcomes. Policy implications include not only the regulation of harmful herbicides but also the importance of targeted interventions to reduce diabetes risks in disproportionately affected communities. A huge thank you to my co-authors SHARON SHAJU, Mohini Khedekar and Aishwarya Rajput for their partnership in this important project! I look forward to driving further research that connects environmental health policies with chronic disease prevention. Together, we can build healthier and more resilient communities. #APHA2024 #PublicHealth #EnvironmentalHealth #DiabetesPrevention #Epidemiology #Atrazine #ResearchImpact #HealthEquity

🎓 Announcing a New Upcoming Online Course: Mixtures (February/March/April 2025) 📝 The ISEE Online Course on Mixtures, will be structured as a series of sessions that will introduce the concept of mixtures research in environmental epidemiology, some of the key considerations for researchers, and overview commonly encountered statistical methods. 📅 Exact dates and speakers will be confirmed soon, but the first session will be around February-March 2025. Remember that ISEE members will get free access to the course. Objective: Environmental epidemiology studies increasingly evaluate multiple exposures, in recognition of the fact that human populations are exposed to a wide range of chemical and non-chemical stressors, which may affect common health outcomes. However, the choice of study design and analysis methods to evaluate health effects of mixtures requires careful consideration and depends upon the specific research question and characteristics of the study population.
