Construction of residential histories to estimate long-term environmental exposures in the California Teachers Study cohort
Environmental epidemiologic studies using geospatial data often estimate exposure at a participant’s residence upon enrollment, but mobility during the exposure period can lead to misclassification. We aimed t...

A State-of-the-Science Review on Metal Biomarkers
Biomarkers are commonly used in epidemiological studies to assess metals and metalloid exposure and estimate internal dose, as they integrate multiple sources and routes of exposure. Researchers are increasing...

Open AccessAn epigenome-wide study of DNA methylation profiles and lung function among American Indians in the Strong Heart Study
Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation (DNAm), are often related to environmental exposures, and are increasingly recognized as key processes in the pathogenesis of chronic lung disease. American ...

Association between rice consumption and risk of cancer incidence in the California Teachers Study
We evaluated the contribution of rice intake, a source of dietary arsenic, to cancer risk in a population of women with likely low arsenic exposure from drinking water and variable rice intake who participated...

Electronic Cigarette Use and Blood Pressure Endpoints: a Systematic Review
E-cigarettes (e-cigs) release toxic chemicals known to increase blood pressure (BP) levels. The effects of e-cigs on BP, however, remain unknown. Studying BP may help characterize potential cardiovascular risk...

Open AccessLow-moderate arsenic exposure and respiratory in American Indian communities in the Strong Heart Study
Arsenic exposure through drinking water is an established lung carcinogen. Evidence on non-malignant lung outcomes is less conclusive and suggests arsenic is associated with lower lung function. Studies examin...

Arsenic Exposure and Cardiovascular Disease: Evidence Needed to Inform the Dose-Response at Low Levels
Epidemiologic and experimental evidence support that exposure to moderate-to-high arsenic (As) is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Little is known, however, on the cardiovascular effects of low wate...

Ethnic, geographic and dietary differences in arsenic exposure in the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA)
Differences in residential location as well as race/ethnicity and dietary habits may result in differences in inorganic arsenic (iAs) exposure. We investigated the association of exposure to iAs with race/ethn...

A Meta-analysis of Arsenic Exposure and Lung Function: Is There Evidence of Restrictive or Obstructive Lung Disease?
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are exposed to arsenic via contaminated water. The goal of this study was to identify whether arsenic-associated lung function deficits resemble obstructive- or restric...
