Abstract:
... Assessing individual chronotypes can become relevant for epidemiological studies, for instance when investigating the impact of night-shift work on human’s health. The objective of this study was to explore and compare three different approaches (Self-rating, Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ), Perfect Day (PD)) of assessing the chronotype in a group of 48 police officers. We compared the cate ...

Abstract:
... Accurate estimation of historical PM2.5 exposures for epidemiological studies is challenging when extensive monitoring data are limited in duration. Here, we develop a national-scale PM2.5 exposure model for Japan using measurements recorded between 2014 and 2016 to estimate monthly means for 1987 through 2016. Our objective is to obtain accurate PM2.5 estimates for years prior to implementation o ...

Large interindividual variations in plasma cholesterol are traditionally related to genetic factors and the residual portion of their variance is attributed to environmental factors, including diet. Preclinical studies have suggested that the microbiota plays a key role in inflammatory and metabolic disorders. Alterations in gut microbiota composition in humans have also been linked to a variety o ...
