“…Furthermore, besides genetic disposition, family history, and previous atopic disease [49,50], individual behavioral factors such as smoking status including passive smoking, alcohol intake, or physical activity, awareness for diseases such as hypertension and factors describing the daily routine are discussed to be associated with the occurrence of different cardiovascular and respiratory health outcomes [7,23,[35][36][37][51][52][53][54][55].…”

Associations of Noise and Socioeconomic and -Demographic Status on Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases on Borough Level in a Large German City State

Worldwide, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are increasing. Environmental noise and the socioeconomic and sociodemographic situation are important factors for the diseases. Using borough health claims data from 2011 in the city of Hamburg, ecological analyses with principal component analyses were conducted to describe the relationship of road traffic noise L den (day, evening, and night) > 65 dB(A), physician density, and social deprivation with regional prevalence rates of heart failure and hypertension (n = 67 boroughs). Additionally, associations between the considered factors with borough prevalence rates of acute bronchitis and asthma in children up to 14 years old were analyzed. The multivariate regression analyses (ANCOVA) indicated that the socioeconomic and sociodemographic borough background might be associated with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, showing the strongest association among hypertensive female patients with 9.90 percent (p < 0.0001) in the highest social deprivation category, when compared to the group of low social deprivation. However, associations between noise, physician density, and the respective health outcomes were negligible. Results will serve as a basis for further investigations. By using data from two surveys, future studies will focus on individual level data to assess the validity of our model, and to develop strategies to reduce the prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

“…The results are ambiguous and often contradictory. Most of the published studies suggest that being overweight and obese has a positive association with atopic dermatitis in children and adults (6)(7)(8)10,20,21) . However, there are also reports of the non-existence of such a relationship (13,22) , which is consistent with our results.…”

Objective: To analyse the relationship between obesity and overweight and the prevalence of allergic diseases and sensitization, and the impact of gender and place of residence. Design: Questionnaire based on those used in ISAAC (International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood) and ECRHS (European Community Respiratory Health Survey). Setting: Our study involved populations of the eight largest cities and one rural region in Poland (each with over 150 000 inhabitants). Subjects: The study included 18 617 participants (24·2 % aged 6-7 years, 25·4 % aged 13-14 years, 50·4 % adults aged 20-44 years) in eight cities and one rural area. The out-patient study involved 4783 patients (25·7 %); we performed skin prick testing with fifteen aeroallergens. Results: Overweight was found in 16·13 % of participants (9·11 % of 6-7-year-olds, 4·90 % of 13-14-year-olds and 25·61 % of adults), obesity in 6·41 % (7·16 %, 2·45 % and 8·36 %, respectively). In adults, overweight (OR = 1·34) and obesity (OR = 1·80) increased the prevalence of asthma, especially in women (OR = 1·53, OR = 2·01). Among 13-14-year-olds the prevalence was higher only in the obese (OR = 1·76). Overweight (OR = 1·99) and obesity (OR = 2·17) affected the incidence of doctordiagnosed asthma in 6-7-year-olds. Overweight (OR = 0·81) and obesity (OR = 0·76) reduced the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in men. There was no relationship between BMI and asthma in people from rural areas. Obesity and overweight did not affect the frequency of sensitization to aeroallergens. Conclusions: Overweight and obesity increased the prevalence of symptomatic asthma in adults, especially in women. In 13-14-year-olds, only obesity increased the prevalence of asthma. In children, overweight was associated with increased prevalence of clinically diagnosed and declared asthma and a trend towards atopy. Higher BMI was negatively associated with the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in overweight and obese man. There was no correlation between BMI and sensitization to aeroallergens.
