Short-term impact of preschool sound exposure on outer hair cell function in young children: An analysis using pressurised distortion product otoacoustic emissions Open
Background Preschool children are regularly exposed to high noise levels that may affect hearing. A previous study has linked preschool noise exposure to reduced distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) amplitudes. Since DPOAEs prim…

The “things” we adjust for in greenness epidemiology: relationships between greenness and lifestyle and environmental factors in the Swedish SCAPIS cohort Open
Greenness relates to environmental and lifestyle factors, partly in site-specific ways, underscoring the need to carefully consider what we adjust for in greenness epidemiology.

Metabolic syndrome in the SCAPIS cohort — Investigating associations at low level exposure to ambient air pollution Open
Some inverse associations between air pollution and MetS were observed, but these results should be interpreted with caution due to limitations in the cross-sectional design. Results should not be interpreted beyond our studied exposure ra…

Socioeconomic factors and environmental burden in a cohort from six Swedish cities Open
Background: The association between socioeconomic status (SES) and environmental burden is context-dependent. Those with low SES may be more likely to live near major roads and industries where environmental exposures are high but may also…

No associations between environmental exposures and stroke severity in a low pollution area in Sweden Open
Mounting evidence supports associations between air pollution and noise exposure and cardiovascular events; however, the relationships at low exposure levels and for stroke outcomes remain uncertain. The aim was to investigate the associat…

Road traffic noise and incident ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Background: This systematic review aimed to estimate relative risks for incident ischemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke in relation to long-term road traffic noise exposure and to evaluate exposure–response fu…

Road-traffic noise exposure and coronary atherosclerosis in the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) Open
Background: Road-traffic noise may influence the development of cardiovascular events such as stroke and myocardial infarction, but etiological mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the relationship between long-term road-t…

Long-term exposure to transportation noise and obesity: A pooled analysis of eleven Nordic cohorts Open
Background: Available evidence suggests a link between exposure to transportation noise and an increased risk of obesity. We aimed to assess exposure-response functions for long-term residential exposure to road traffic, railway and aircra…

Long-term ambient air pollution and coronary atherosclerosis: Results from the Swedish SCAPIS study Open
In this large, middle-aged general population sample with low exposure levels, air pollution was not associated with measures of total burden of coronary atherosclerosis. However, PM2.5 appeared to be associated with a higher prevalence of…

Long-term exposure to transportation noise in relation to global cognitive decline and cognitive impairment: Results from a Swedish longitudinal cohort Open
Transportation noise was linked to cognitive impairment and faster cognitive decline among older adults. Future studies are warranted to confirm our results.

Child-Centred Room Acoustic Parameters of Public Preschools in Sweden Open
Preschool should promote children’s well-being and development, but the indoor sound environment is commonly problematic. The aim of our research project Supportive Preschool ACoustic Environment (SPACE) is to identify acoustic quality fac…

Long-term exposure to air pollution and coronary atherosclerosis, calcification, and non-calcified plaques – results from the Swedish SCAPIS study Open
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Despite firm evidence for an association between long-term air pollution exposure and cardiovascular events also at low exposure levels, previous epidemiological studies on the association with atherosclerosis have been…

Exposure to long-term source-specific transportation noise and incident breast cancer: A pooled study of eight Nordic cohorts Open
We found weak associations between road and railway noise and breast cancer risk. More high-quality prospective studies are needed, particularly among those exposed to railway and aircraft noise before conclusions regarding noise as a risk…

Health effects of railway-induced vibration combined with railway noise – A systematic review with exposure-effect curves Open
Converting railway vibration into equivalent noise levels in dB may offer a pragmatic approach to assess the combined health effects of railway noise and railway vibration exposure. Future studies should include cardiovascular and mental d…

Long-Term Exposure to Transportation Noise and Ischemic Heart Disease: A Pooled Analysis of Nine Scandinavian Cohorts Open
Exposure to road, railway, and aircraft noise in the prior 5 y was associated with an increased risk of IHD, particularly after exclusion of angina pectoris cases, which are less well identified in the registries. https://doi.org/10.1289/E…
