BACKGROUND: Gas stoves emit pollutants that are respiratory irritants. U.S. children under age 6 who live in homes
where gas stoves are used for cooking or heating have an increased risk of asthma, wheeze and reduced lung
function. Yet few studies have examined whether using ventilation when operating gas stoves...

MOTIVATION: Recently there has been increasing interest in the effects
of cell mixture on the measurement of DNA methylation, specifically
the extent to which small perturbations in cell mixture proportions can
register as changes in DNA methylation. A recently published set of
statistical methods exploits this association to infer changes...

Air pollution epidemiological studies suggest that elevated exposure to fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) is associated with higher prevalence of term low birth weight (TLBW). Previous studies have generally assumed the exposure–response of PM₂.₅ on TLBW to be the same throughout a large geographical area. Health effects related to PM₂.₅ exposures,...
BACKGROUND: Poorly ventilated combustion stoves and pollutants emitted from combustion stoves increase the risk of acute lower respiratory illnesses (ALRI) in children living in developing countries but few studies have examined these issues in developed countries. Our objective is to investigate behaviors related to gas stove use, namely using them...

We examined long-term patterns of stressful life events (SLE) and their impact on mortality contrasting two theoretical models: allostatic load (linear relationship) and hormesis (inverted U relationship) in 1443 NASmen (aged 41–87 in 1985; M = 60.30, SD = 7.3) with at least two reports of SLEs over 18 years...
