Environmental Pollutants and Life Quality

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Lifestyle factors: introduction of environmental risk mitigation policies, from data and evidence from case studies (several European cities) with different levels of exposure to environmental, health, geographic, and socioeconomic factors.

Study summary

This study is part of the MISTRAL project, funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe Program, within the Work Programme 2021-2022 of Pillar II - Health Cluster on Environment and Health, which has the main objective of creating a cloud-based informatics platform for Health Impact Assessment analysis that, thanks to artificial intelligence, is able to simulate different clinical scenarios, economic and social, before and after the introduction of environmental risk mitigation policies, starting from data and evidence derived from case studies (several European cities) with different levels of exposure to environmental, health, geographical and socio-economic factors. The Project involves 11 partners distributed among Italy (Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Azienda Sanitaria Locale di Taranto, University of Bari, Politecnico di Bari, APS PLANET), Belgium (University of Hasselt), Poland (AGH-University of Technology and Science), Germany (Nuromedia), Spain (Ubitel), Greece (WINGS-ICT Solutions) and England (University of Oxford, University of Suffolk).

Specifically, the ZEPHYR study is a cross-sectional (cross-sectional), population-based, multicenter survey. The centers involved are the ASL of Taranto with the Taranto City Single District (Coordinating Recruitment Center), the University of Hasselt, Belgium (Recruitment Center Hasselt Hospital Campus), and the University of Krakow, Poland (Rybnik University Hospital as recruitment center).

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• QALY — baseline and 2 years
  quality-adjusted life-year. QALY scores range from 1 (perfect health) to 0 (dead)
• DALY — baseline and 2 years
  Disability Adjusted Life Years. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are a measure of overall disease burden, expressed as the number of years lost due to ill-health, disability, or early death.
