Objectives:The aims of this study were to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia, dietary intake, nutritional indices and hip bone mineral density (BMD) in the elderly, and to estimate the risk of low BMD due to specific independent predictor thresholds.Subjects and methods:Body mass index (BMI), serum albumin, energy and protein intake were studied in 352 elderly outpatients (216 women a...<br/><br/> Coin, Perissinotto, Enzi, Zamboni, Inelmen, Frigo, Manzato, Busetto, Buja, Sergi (2007) <i>Eur J Clin Nutr</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>

OBJECTIVES: To test the association between body mass index (BMI) and lower extremity motor performance in elderly people. DESIGN: Multicenter, cross-sectional, observational study. SETTING: A sample of individuals aged 65 and older recruited for the baseline survey of the Italian Longitudinal Study on Aging. PARTICIPANTS: Two thousand six hundred seventy-two individuals (1,436 men, 1,236 women) i...<br/><br/>Giuseppe Sergi, Egle Perissinotto, Elena D Toffanello, Stefania Maggi, Enzo Manzato, Alessandra Buja, Alessandra Coin, Anna C Frigo, Emine M Inelmen, Giuliano Enzi (2007) <i>J Am Geriatr Soc</i> <i></i> <i></i> 55: 12 2023-2029<br/>

In old subjects exposed to extreme high temperature during a heat wave, studies have consistently reported an excess of death from cardio- or cerebro-vascular disease. By contrast, dehydration, heat stroke, acute renal insufficiency, and respiratory disease were the main causes of hospital admission in the two studies carried out in elderly during short spells of hot weather. The excess of circula...<br/><br/>Giuseppe Mastrangelo, Shakoor Hajat, Emanuela Fadda, Alessandra Buja, Ugo Fedeli, Paolo Spolaore (2006) <i>Med Hypotheses</i> <i></i> <i></i> 66: 5 1025-1028<br/>

BACKGROUND: Flight attendants are exposed to cosmic ionizing radiation and other potential cancer risk factors, but only recently have epidemiological studies been performed to assess the risk of cancer among these workers. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the incidence of various types of cancer among female cabin attendants by combining cancer incidence estimates reported in published...<br/><br/>Alessandra Buja, Giuseppe Mastrangelo, Egle Perissinotto, Francesco Grigoletto, Anna Chiara Frigo, Giuseppe Rausa, Valeria Marin, Cristina Canova, Francesca Dominici (2006) <i>J Womens Health (Larchmt)</i> <i></i> <i></i> 15: 1 98-105<br/>

Flight personnel are exposed to cosmic ionizing radiation, chemicals (fuel, jet engine exhausts, cabin air pollutants), electromagnetic fields from cockpit instruments, and disrupted sleep patterns. Only recently has cancer risk among these workers been investigated.

The aim of this study was to confirm the exposure-dependent reduction in lung cancer risk reported for dairy farmers exposed to endotoxin and to evaluate the consequence of leaving dairy farming and taking employment in industry or services, where exposure to microbial agents is lower. Standardized mortality ratios, with 95% confidence intervals, for 2,561 self-employed dairy farmers were estimate...<br/><br/>Giuseppe Mastrangelo, John M Grange, Emanuela Fadda, Ugo Fedeli, Alessandra Buja, John H Lange (2005) <i>Am J Epidemiol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 161: 11 1037-1046<br/>

Several reports indicate that the risk of lung cancer increases slightly for a short period of time after cessation of smoking while the risk of adverse cardiovascular events drops immediately. Recent studies on subjects occupationally exposed to organic dust-containing endotoxin have revealed lower than expected rates of lung cancer. There is experimental evidence that stimulation of the immune s...<br/><br/>J H Lange, G Mastrangelo, E Fadda, G Priolo, D Montemurro, A Buja, J M Grange (2005) <i>Med Hypotheses</i> <i></i> <i></i> 65: 3 534-541<br/>

BACKGROUND: The present study aims at defining a body mass index (BMI) threshold for risk of being underweight in elderly persons on the basis of the BMI distribution in a large Italian population-based sample and on its ability to predict short-term mortality. METHODS: At baseline (1992), BMI was obtained for 3110 (1663 males and 1447 females) persons aged 65-84 participating in the Italian Longi...<br/><br/>Giuseppe Sergi, Egle Perissinotto, Claudia Pisent, Alessandra Buja, Stefania Maggi, Alessandra Coin, Francesco Grigoletto, Giuliano Enzi (2005) <i>J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci</i> <i></i> <i></i> 60: 7 866-871<br/>
