Cross-sectional study

In a cross-sectional study, exposure and effect are studied simultaneously. This approach contains an inherent problem because exposure must precede the effect. However, it can he used to investigate acute effects and also mild chronic effects (which do not force people to leave their jobs) if exposure has remained rather stable for a long time. When the prevalence of the effects studied are compared with the prevalence in other worker groups (controls or references) which correspond otherwise with the study group but are not exposed to the agent investigated, indicative evidence of possible causality may be obtained. For example, cross-sectional studies have been applied successfully to reveal the associations between mild neurotoxic effects and exposure to organic solvents. ... [Pg.242]

Health benefits of carotenoids are related to their bioavailability and thus then-absorption. Plasma concentration is considered a good biomarker of fruit and vegetable consumption. Table 3.1.1 shows plasma carotenoid levels in EPIC study subjects from 16 European locations. EPIC was the first large cross-sectional study analyzing plasma carotenoid levels in several European populations. ... [Pg.128]

In conclusion, PbB levels of 40-60 pg/dL are considered to be markedly elevated in children, and neuro-behavioral effects are distinct. There are no clear definitions of what constitutes low versus moderate PbB levels, and effects observed at the lower levels (particularly <15 pg/dL), have proven more difficult to separate from socioeconomic and other variables. Many of the cross-sectional studies that showed... [Pg.101]

In summary, on the basis of IQ measurements, which provide a better degree of comparability between the studies than various sensorimotor paradigms, it appears that a highly significant IQ decrement of 1-3 points is associated with a change of PbB from 10 to 20 pg/dL. This relationship is supported by prospective and cross-sectional studies (see IPCS 1995 Needleman and Gatsonis 1990 Pocock et al. 1994 Schwartz 1994 for individual studies included in the meta-analyses). [Pg.300]

Physical exercise has been investigated in a number of studies. The relationship between exercise and cognitive performance has been studied in both older adults (Kramer et al., 2000 Wood et al., 1999 Laurin et al., 2001) and young, healthy volunteers. The general consensus is of beneficial effects. In a classic cross-sectional study Spirduso and Clifford (1978) demonstrated that reaction time among older adults... [Pg.212]
