Measurement error: effects and remedies in nutritional epidemiology.
Nutritional epidemiology is concerned to elucidate the relationship between intakes of specific foods and nutrients, and specified health outcomes. Usually the outcome of interest is the incidence of a disease. Typically epidemiological evidence for such a relationship exists at two levels: (1) the macro level, in which each data-point refers to an aggregation of subjects for example, a country...
متن کاملx2001 – Exposure Assessment in Epidemiology and Practice
This paper presents new equipment to investigate workers’ time activity patterns (TAP) in workenvironment. A real-time chemical sensor coupled with a data logger comprises the newelectronic time activity recorder (ETAR). TAP data obtained from traditional workers’ recalledquestionnaires, working schedule of the plant, and ETAR were compared with the goldenreference, direct obser...
متن کاملConfounding and exposure measurement error in air pollution epidemiology
Studies in air pollution epidemiology may suffer from some specific forms of confounding and exposure measurement error. This contribution discusses these, mostly in the framework of cohort studies. Evaluation of potential confounding is critical in studies of the health effects of air pollution. The association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality has been investig...
متن کاملAssessment of mechanical exposure in ergonomic epidemiology.
In recent years several different methods have been developed to assess mechanical exposures, which are related to musculoskeletal disorders in ergonomic epidemiology. Each of these methods is capable of measuring one or more aspects of risk factors, but has drawbacks as well. Improper application of methods might result in biased exposure estimates, which has serious consequences for risk esti...
متن کاملSeemingly unrelated measurement error models, with application to nutritional epidemiology.
Motivated by an important biomarker study in nutritional epidemiology, we consider the combination of the linear mixed measurement error model and the linear seemingly unrelated regression model, hence Seemingly Unrelated Measurement Error Models. In our context, we have data on protein intake and energy (caloric) intake from both a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a biomarker, and wish t...
