Mar 19, 2014 · We investigated this association in a population-based cohort of elderly women from Germany. Methods: In a follow-up examination of the SALIA cohort study in 2008/2009, 402 women aged 68 to 79 years from the Ruhr Area and Borken (Germany) were clinically examined.

Apr 1, 2021 · We analyzed the potential mediating effect of reduced lung function on the association between air pollution exposure and CPM. We used data from the German SALIA cohort including 2527 elderly women (aged 51–56 years at baseline 1985–1994) with 22-year follow-up to CPM.

We aimed to investigate the role of polygenic susceptibility to chronic air pollution-induced subclinical airway inflammation. We used data from 296 women (69–79 years) enrolled in the population-based SALIA cohort (Study on the influence of Air pollution on Lung function, Inflammation and Aging).

May 27, 2010 · Traffic-related air pollution is associated with increased risk to develop type 2 diabetes in the German SALIA cohort of women 54–55 years old. Subclinical inflammation may be one of the mechanisms that link air pollution with metabolic impairments.

Mar 19, 2014 · The strength of the study is that SALIA is a population-based cohort of elderly women (not a cohort of either highly exposed or diseased and more susceptible subjects) with a detailed exposure assessment and an in-depth characterization of …

Aug 22, 2010 · In the SALIA cohort we showed that the extent of air pollution decline was associated with a corresponding significant reduction of the age-related increase in prevalence of respiratory symptoms and COPD

Mar 19, 2014 · Based on earlier results from the SALIA cohort we assessed the associations between air pollution, circulating immune mediators and impaired glucose metabolism in a cross-sectional study.

Mar 19, 2014 · The strength of the study is that SALIA is a population-based cohort of elderly women (not a cohort of either highly exposed or diseased and more susceptible subjects) with a detailed exposure assessment and an in-depth characterization of …

Another focus of the working group is the maintenance of the long-standing, IUF-genuine cohort Study on the influence of Air pollution on Lung function, Inflammation, and Aging (The SALIA study). The SALIA study was initiated in the early 1980s by the North Rhine-Westphalian State Government to investigate the effect of air pollution exposure ...

Results: Between 1990 and 2006, 87 (10.5%) new cases of diabetes were reported among the SALIA cohort members. The hazards for diabetes were increased by 15-42% per interquartile range of PM or traffic-related exposure.
