Abstract Introduction: In utero exposure to low-dose radiation delivered from medical procedures is a risk factor for childhood leukemia (CL), while findings for postnatal exposure are scarce and still inconsistent. In a population-based case-control study carried out in a Northern
Poster: Non-chromosomal congenital anomalies and risk of childhood leukaemia: a Italian population-based case-control study
Introduction: The association between chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and increased CL risk of childhood leukemia (CL) is well established, while the association between non-chromosomal birth defects is far less clear. We conducted a population-based case-control study in two
Poster: Exposure to electromagnetic fields and risk of childhood leukemia: a population-based case-control study in two Italian provinces
Background Exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) has been suggested as risk factor for childhood leukemia (CL). We carried out a population-based case-control study evaluating the risk of CL in children living near sources of EMF, including high-voltage power lines and
Poster: Outdoor air pollution and risk of conversion from mild cognitive impairment to dementia: a cohort study
Background Exposure to air pollutants has been linked to an excess risk of several chronic disease including a few neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s dementia. In addition, recent findings suggested that chronic exposure to inhalable particulate matter could be neurotoxic

Poster: Livelli di esposizione alimentare a cadmio e correlazione con parametri metabolici ed ormonali: uno studio cross-sectional in una popolazione emiliana
Introduzione e scopo Il ruolo degli elementi in traccia, in particolare del cadmio, nel determinismo delle patologie cronico-degenerative è di grande attualità e rilevanza dal punto di vista della sanità pubblica. Il cadmio è un metallo pesante in grado di
Poster: Livelli di assunzione di selenio in un campione di popolazione italiana e correlazione con parametri metabolici ed ormonali: uno studio trasversale in Emilia Romagna
Introduzione e scopo Il ruolo degli elementi in traccia, in particolare del selenio, nel determinismo delle patologie cronico-degenerative è di grande attualità e rilevanza dal punto di vista della sanità pubblica. Il selenio infatti è un metalloide di notevole interesse
Poster: Correlation between dietary cadmium exposure with biochemical and metabolic parameters: A cross-sectional study in Northern Italy population
Background and aim: Cadmium is a heavy metal classified as carcinogen for humans. It accumulates in the organism, especially in kidney and liver. Recent findings suggested that cadmium could influence human metabolism acting as endocrine disruptor and high cadmium exposure
Poster: Correlation between dietary selenium exposure with biochemical and metabolic parameters: A cross-sectional study in Northern Italy population
Background and aim: The metalloid selenium shows an intriguing role with human health, with both nutritional and toxicological effects. In particular, recent studies suggest that high selenium exposure could be associated with impairment of metabolism of lipids, glucose and thyroid
Poster: The new-old exposure to lead: assessment of food contamination and estimation of dietary intake in a Northern Italy population
Background and aim: Lead is a heavy metal released in the environment after natural and anthropogenic activities. Food and water are the major sources of human exposure, with some through air, dust and soil. In this study, we aimed at
