Residential Traffic Exposure, Pulse Pressure, and C-reactive Protein: Consistency and Contrast among Exposure Characterization Methods
BACKGROUND Traffic exposure may increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk via systemic inflammation and elevated blood pressure, two important clinical markers for managing disease progression. OBJECTIVES We assessed degree and consistency of association between traffic exposure indicators as predictors of C-reactive protein (CRP) and pulse pressure (PP) in an adult U.S. Puerto Rican populat...
متن کاملResidential Exposure to Traffic and Spontaneous Abortion
BACKGROUND Studies have shown associations between air pollution or traffic exposure and adverse birth outcomes, such as low birth weight. However, very few studies have examined the effect of traffic emissions on spontaneous abortion (SAB). OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to determine whether residential exposure to vehicular traffic was associated with SAB. METHODS Pregnant women fro...
متن کاملAssociation between pulse pressure and C-reactive protein among apparently healthy US adults.
Elevated pulse pressure has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, which is increasingly being seen as an inflammatory disease. Thus, the mechanism underlying the link between elevated pulse pressure and cardiovascular disease risk may be inflammation. However, investigators have not examined the relationship between pulse pressure and C-reactive protein, an inflammat...
متن کاملTelomere tracking from birth to adulthood and residential traffic exposure
BACKGROUND Telomere attrition is extremely rapid during the first years of life, while lifestyle during adulthood exerts a minor impact. This suggests that early life is an important period in the determination of telomere length. We investigated the importance of the early-life environment on both telomere tracking and adult telomere length. METHODS Among 184 twins of the East Flanders Prosp...
متن کاملPnm-19: Residential Exposure to Carbon Monoxide and Spontaneous Abortion
Background: The relationship between air pollution exposure and adverse birth outcomes such as low birth weight and IUGR was studied. However, very few studies evaluated the effect of air pollution emissions on spontaneous abortion. We examined association between spontaneous abortion of the first trimester of pregnancy and ambient concentrations of carbon monoxide in Tehran. Materials and Meth...
