      Background Previous studies have reported an association between weight increase and excess lung function decline in young adults followed for short periods. We aimed to estimate lung function trajectories during adulthood ...
    • Interaction between gas cooking and GSTM1 null genotype in bronchial responsiveness: Results from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey 

      Amaral, André F.S.; Ramasamy, Adaikalavan; Castro-Giner, Francesc; Minelli, Cosetta; Accordini, Simone; Sørheim, Inga Cecilie; Pin, Isabelle; Kogevinas, Manolis; Jõgi, Rain; Balding, David J.; Norbäck, Dan; Verlato, Guiseppe; Olivieri, Mario; Probst-Hensch, Nicole; Janson, Christer; Zock, Jan-Paul; Heinrich, Joachim; Jarvis, Deborah L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Background: Increased bronchial responsiveness is characteristic of asthma. Gas cooking, which is a major indoor source of the highly oxidant nitrogen dioxide, has been associated with respiratory symptoms and reduced lung ...
    • Maternal preconception occupational exposure to cleaning products and disinfectants and offspring asthma 

      Tjalvin, Gro; Svanes, Øistein; Igland, Jannicke; Bertelsen, Randi Jacobsen; Benediktsdóttir, Bryndís; Dharmage, Shyamali; Forsberg, Bertil; Holm, Mathias; Janson, Christer; Jögi, Nils Oskar; Johannessen, Ane; Malinovschi, Andrei; Pape, Kathrine; Real, Francisco Gomez; Sigsgaard, Torben; Torén, Kjell; Vindenes, Hilde Kristin; Zock, Jan-Paul; Schlünssen, Vivi; Svanes, Cecilie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background Emerging research suggests health effects in offspring after parental chemical exposures before conception. Many future mothers are exposed to potent chemicals at work, but potential offspring health effects ...
    • Predictors of microbial agents in dust and respiratory health in the Ecrhs 

      Tischer, Christina; Zock, Jan-Paul; Valkonen, Maria; Doekes, Gert; Guerra, Stefano; Heederick, Dick; Jarvis, Deborah; Norbäck, Dan; Olivieri, Mario; Sunyer, Jordi; Svanes, Cecilie; Täubel, Martin; Thiering, Elisabeth; Verlato, Guiseppe; Hyvärinen, Anne; Heinrich, Joachim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-02)
      Background Dampness and mould exposure have been repeatedly associated with respiratory health. However, less is known about the specific agents provoking or arresting health effects in adult populations. We aimed to assess ...
    • Respiratory Health in Cleaners in Northern Europe: Is Susceptibility Established in Early Life? 

      Svanes, Øistein; Skorge, Trude Duelien; Johannessen, Ane; Bertelsen, Randi Jacobsen; Bråtveit, Magne; Forsberg, Bertil; Gislason, Thorarin; Holm, Mathias; Janson, Christer; Jögi, Rain; Macsali, Ferenc; Norbäck, Dan; Omenaas, Ernst; Gomez Real, Francisco; Schlünssen, Vivi; Sigsgaard, Torben; Wieslander, Gunilla; Zock, Jan-Paul; Aasen, Tor Olav Brøvig; Dratva, Julia; Svanes, Cecilie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Rationale There is some evidence that maternal smoking increases susceptibility to personal smoking’s detrimental effects. One might question whether early life disadvantage might influence susceptibility to occupational ...
    • Second-hand smoke exposure in adulthood and lower respiratory health during 20 year follow up in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey 

      Flexeder, Claudia; Zock, Jan-Paul; Jarvis, Deborah; Verlato, Giuseppe; Olivieri, Mario; Benke, Geza; Abramson, Michael J.; Sigsgaard, Torben; Svanes, Cecilie; Torén, Kjell; Nowak, Dennis; Jõgi, Rain; Martínez-Moratalla, Jesús; Demoly, Pascal; Janson, Christer; Gíslason, Þórarinn; Bono, Roberto; Holm, Mathias; Franklin, Karl A.; Garcia-Aymerich, Judith; Siroux, Valérie; Leynaert, Bénédicte; Dorado Arenas, Sandra; Corsico, Angelo Guido; Pereira-Vega, Antonio; Probst-Hensch, Nicole; Urrutia Landa, Isabel; Schulz, Holger; Heinrich, Joachim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-14)
      Background: Early life exposure to tobacco smoke has been extensively studied but the role of second-hand smoke (SHS) for new-onset respiratory symptoms and lung function decline in adulthood has not been widely investigated ...
