Données médicales et génétiques géoréférencées au lieu de résidence pour un service de santé publique de précision

A l’heure actuelle, les politiques de santé publique consistent en des approches globales dont les buts sont de déterminer les besoins actuels et d’anticiper les besoins futurs sur la base d’information sanitaire. Cette information sanitaire caractérise de ...

Des médecins à la direction de l’urbanisme ?

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous

On parle beaucoup de médecine de «précision» à l’heure actuelle, et dans le cadre de cette présentation nous décrivons quelques travaux qui illustrent l'importance de cette précision injectée dans le domaine de la santé publique en milieu urbain, en utilis ...

Persistent spatial clusters of high body mass index in a Swiss urban population as revealed by the 5-year GeoCoLaus longitudinal study

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Murielle Bochud, Joël Chételat, Fred Michel Paccaud

OBJECTIVE Body mass index (BMI) may cluster in space among adults and be spatially dependent. Whether and how BMI clusters evolve over time in a population is currently unknown. We aimed to determine the spatial dependence of BMI and its 5-year evolution i ...

Biodiversity dynamics and the effect of urban environment on the distribution of genetic variation in the Geneva cross-border area

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Jens Ingensand, Estelle Rochat, Kevin Leempoel, Ivo Widmer, Alain Clémence

Population growth, urbanization and agriculture lead to degradation and loss of natural environment. This has an adverse effect on the diversity of habitats, species and genes and might cause decline in the quality of life of the resident population. In th ...

Relationship between land cover type and Body Mass Index in Geneva

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Jens Ingensand, Estelle Rochat, Ivo Widmer, Alain Clémence

Past studies conducted in urban areas analyzed the impact of the presence of green spaces on public health, and highlighted in particular the psychological benefits of interacting with nature. To investigate a supposed relationship between overweight and d ...

A comparison of body mass index spatial dependence among adults and children in a Swiss general population

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous

Background: Body mass index (BMI) may cluster in space among adults and be spatially dependent. Whether BMI clusters among children and how adults and children BMI clusters are related remains unknown. We aimed to identify and to compare BMI spatial depend ...

Spatial Dependence of Body Mass Index: Geneva, Switzerland

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Joël Chételat

Urban health (UH) is an emerging field, which explores the effect of urban environment and urbanization on health. Evidence suggests that urban environment can either positively influence health behaviors or be a health stressor. One key approach in UH is ...
