The authors use panel data from the Living Standards Measurement Study to investigate linkages between climatic conditions during a child’s first year of life and year prior to birth and duration of exclusive breastfeeding in Ethiopia.
The authors explored and compared relationships between suffering from drought and total HIV prevalence and suffering from drought and women’s proportion of HIV cases using a cross-national dataset of less-developed countries and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression.
Using panel data from the Living Standards Measurement Study, the authors investigate the relationships between climatic conditions, breastfeeding behavior, and maternal time use in Ethiopia.
Using newly available data derived from IRS tax records at the Census tract level housed at the Opportunity Atlas, combined with estimates of exposure to air pollution from vehicle traffic and the risk of lead exposure due to older housing in poor neighborhoods, the authors examin neighborhood level associations of exposure to environmental hazards among children and outcomes in late adolescence and adulthood.
Using a high-resolution downscaled climate change projections under Representative Concentration (RCP) 8.5, the study aim is to investigate current and projected future heat risk, expressed as a heat stress exposure index using high-resolution climate change projections, and a social vulnerability index, to identify areas of potential future heat stress risk in the Durban (eThekwini) metropolitan area, South Africa.
The objective of the paper is to characterize hurricane-related changes in phthalate exposures and experiences within the Puerto Rico Testsite for Exploring Contamination Threats (PROTECT) cohort.
The study investigated the links between household agricultural activities and children's physical growth in two agro-ecologically varying field sites: lowland Natarbora and mountainous Ossu in order to redress a lack of research that clearly demonstrates how agriculture impacts on nutrition in Timor-Leste.
The study economically assessed the health burden by considering nine diseases (diarrheal diseases, pertussis, measles, tetanus, meningitis, malaria, lower respiratory infections, birth asphyxia and birth trauma, and protein-energy malnutrition) which are due to undernourishment as a child caused by climate change.
In this study global atmospheric chemistry model was used to investigate the link between premature mortality and seven emission source categories in urban and rural environments.
Projections of future heat waves in India based on multiple climate models and scenarios for CMIP5 data are presented in this paper.
