Relating health benefits of water, sanitation, and hygiene services with the context of urban informal settlements: lessons from Côte d'Ivoire and Kenya

This thesis is inscribed in the recent efforts to reconnect urban planning and public health. It focused on the context of sub-Saharan African cities, for they offer invaluable lessons regarding environmental health determinants and potential solutions to ...

Detecting overlapping spatial clusters of high sugar-sweetened beverage intake and high body mass index in a general population: a cross-sectional study

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder, Beatrice Bacchilega

Background: Evidence suggests that sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake frequency is positively associated with the risk of obesity and diabetes. We aimed to identify populations and areas in high need for interventions to reduce SSB consumption using a f ...

Persistent spatial clusters of high body mass index in a Swiss urban population as revealed by the 5-year GeoCoLaus longitudinal study

Stéphane Joost, Solange Catherine Gaillard, Murielle Bochud, Idris Guessous, Joël Chételat, Fred Michel Paccaud

OBJECTIVE Body mass index (BMI) may cluster in space among adults and be spatially dependent. Whether and how BMI clusters evolve over time in a population is currently unknown. We aimed to determine the spatial dependence of BMI and its 5-year evolution i ...

Quantifying the role of motor imagery in brain-machine interfaces

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Silvia Marchesotti

Despite technical advances in brain machine interfaces (BMI), for as-yet unknown reasons the ability to control a BMI remains limited to a subset of users. We investigate whether individual differences in BMI control based on motor imagery (MI) are related ...

A comparison of body mass index spatial dependence among adults and children in a Swiss general population

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous

Background: Body mass index (BMI) may cluster in space among adults and be spatially dependent. Whether BMI clusters among children and how adults and children BMI clusters are related remains unknown. We aimed to identify and to compare BMI spatial depend ...

Alcohol consumption, alcohol dependence, and related mortality in Italy in 2004: effects of treatment-based interventions on alcohol dependence

Gerrit Gmel

Background: The tradition of consuming alcohol has long been a part of Italian culture and is responsible for a large health burden. This burden may be reduced with effective interventions, one of the more important of which is treatment for Alcohol Depend ...

Global burden of injuries attributable to alcohol consumption in 2004: a novel way of calculating the burden of injuries attributable to alcohol consumption

Gerrit Gmel

Background: Alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for injuries; however, international data on this burden are limited. This article presents new methods to quantify the burden of injuries attributable to alcohol consumption and quantifies the number ...

Estimating uncertainty of alcohol-attributable fractions for infectious and chronic diseases

Gerrit Gmel

Background: Alcohol is a major risk factor for burden of disease and injuries globally. This paper presents a systematic method to compute the 95% confidence intervals of alcohol-attributable fractions (AAFs) with exposure and risk relations stemming from ...
