      Article
      Open Access
      In four European cohorts, we investigated the cross-sectional association between long-term exposure to air pollution and intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery (CIMT), a preclinical marker of atherosclerosi ...

    • Association between long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution and subclinical atherosclerosis: the REGICOR study 

      Rivera, Marcela; Basagaña Flores, Xavier; Aguilera, Inmaculada; Foraster, María; Agis Cherta, David; de Groot, Eric; Perez, Laura; Mendez, Michelle A.; Bouso, Laura; Targa, Jaume; Ramos, Rafael; Sala, Joan; Marrugat, Jaume; Elosua, Roberto; Künzli, Nino (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2013-02-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Epidemiological evidence of the effects of long-term exposure to air pollution on the chronic processes of atherogenesis is limited. We investigated the association of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution ...

    • Association of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution with blood pressure and hypertension in an adult population-based cohort in Spain (the REGICOR study) 

      Foraster, María; Basagaña Flores, Xavier; Aguilera, Inmaculada; Rivera, Marcela; Agis Cherta, David; Bouso, Laura; Deltell, Alexandre; Marrugat, Jaume; Ramos, Rafel; Sunyer, Jordi; Vila, Joan; Elosua, Roberto; Künzli, Nino (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2014-04-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Background: Long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution may increase blood pressure (BP) and induce hypertension. However, evidence supporting these associations is limited, and they may be confounded by exposure ...

    • Carotid intima-media thickness in the Spanish population: reference ranges and association with cardiovascular risk factors 

      Grau, Maria; Subirana, Isaac; Agis Cherta, David; Ramos, Rafel; Basagaña, Xavier; Martí, Ruth; de Groot, Eric; Arnold, Roman J.; Marrugat, Jaume; Künzli, Nino; Elosua, Roberto (2012-12)

      Introducción y objetivos El grosor íntima-media carotídeo medido por ultrasonografía es un predictor de acontecimientos cardiovasculares barato y no invasivo. Se analizaron los valores de referencia del grosor íntima-media ...

    • High blood pressure and long-term exposure to indoor noise and air pollution from road traffic. 

      Foraster, María; Künzli, Nino; Aguilera, Inmaculada; Rivera, Marcela; Agis Cherta, David; Vila, Joan; Bouso, Laura; Deltell, Alexandre; Marrugat, Jaume; Ramos, Rafel; Sunyer, Jordi; Elosua, Roberto; Basagaña Flores, Xavier (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2014-11-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Traffic noise has been associated with prevalence of hypertension, but reports are inconsistent for blood pressure (BP). To ascertain noise effects and to disentangle them from those suspected to be from traffic-related ...

    • Measurement error in epidemiologic studies of air pollution based on land-use regression models 

      Basagaña Flores, Xavier; Aguilera, Inmaculada; Rivera, Marcela; Agis Cherta, David; Foraster, María; Marrugat, Jaume; Elosua, Roberto; Künzli, Nino (2013-10-15)
      Article
      Open Access
      Land-use regression (LUR) models are increasingly used to estimate air pollution exposure in epidemiologic studies. These models use air pollution measurements taken at a small set of locations and modeling based ...
