Methodology for Hierarchical Longitudinal Modeling of Air-Pollution Health Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the paper, we present the methodology of construction and interpretation of the models, which consider effects of air pollution, and also their applications. The study of air-pollution health effects is a very important component in estimating health risk of air pollution and improving environmental quality. On other hand, such study is very complicated because of complexity of factors involved and their relationships. That explains why the effects of air pollution have not been deeply studied yet.

Methodology mathematical and program tools of modeling of hierarchical dynamic systems in environmental epidemiology: application for air-pollution health impact assessment
Important problem of modern environmental epidemiology is study and assessment of air-pollution health effects. For reasonable assessment, it is very important that the models used must be epidemiologically sound and robust in terms of the persistence of the model behavior during changes in the model parameters. For the solving this problem, we introduce notion of ”adequate models” which is sim...
متن کاملControlling for localised spatio-temporal autocorrelation in long-term air pollution and health studies
Estimating the long-term health impact of air pollution using an ecological spatio-temporal study design is a challenging task, due to the presence of residual spatio-temporal autocorrelation in the health counts after adjusting for the covariate effects. This autocorrelation is commonly modelled by a set of random effects represented by a Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) prior distribution,...
متن کاملA Methodology of Estimation on Air Pollution and Its Health Effects in Large Japanese Cities
The correlation between air pollution and health effects in large Japanese cities presents a great challenge owing to the limited availability of data on the exposure to pollution, health effects and the uncertainty of mixed causes. A methodology for quantitative relationships (between the emission volume and air quality, and the air quality and health effects) is analysed with a statistical me...
متن کاملA Methodology of Health Effects Estimation from Air Pollution in Large Asian Cities
The increase of health effects caused by air pollution seems to be a growing concern in Asian cities with increasing motorization. This paper discusses methods of estimating the health effects of air pollution in large Asian cities. Due to the absence of statistical data in Asia, this paper carefully chooses the methodology using data of the Japanese compensation system. A basic idea of health ...
