Local-scale deprivation is associated with the spatial distribution of poor diet quality in adults: A cross-sectional population-based study in Switzerland

Poor diet quality is linked to non-communicable diseases and mortality. Area deprivation is an important determinant of diet. Whether small area deprivation influences the spatial distribution of diet quality remains unknown. We aimed to assess the spatial ...

Large-scale georeferenced neuroimaging and psychometry data link the urban environmental exposome with brain health

Stéphane Joost, Marco André Vieira Ruas

In face of cumulating evidence about the impact of human-induced environmental changes on mental health and behavior, our understanding of the main effects and interactions between environmental factors – i.e., the exposome and the brain – is still limited ...

Associations Between Exercise Patterns and Health Outcomes in Sedentary and Non-sedentary Individuals: a Longitudinal Population-based Study in Geneva, Switzerland

Stéphane Joost

Introduction Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour are significant modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases, yet their prevalence remains high despite their well-established negative impact on health. This study evaluates regular moderate exercis ...

Locally Specific Genome-Wide Signatures of Adaptation to Environmental Variation at High Resolution in an Alpine Plant

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel, Annie Sandrine Guillaume

Microevolutionary processes shape adaptive responses to heterogeneous environments, where these effects vary both among and within species. However, it remains largely unknown to which degree signatures of adaptation to environmental drivers can be detecte ...

Spatial dependence of non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a Swiss region: A retrospective analysis

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder, Anaïs Laurence Ladoy

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) incidence and survival often vary within regions according to patient-related and contextual factors. This study aims to establish the overall spatial dependence of incidence, bystander cardiopulmonary resu ...
