the Italian Epidemiological Association (AIE) intends to formulate assessments and recommendations on the most relevant and critical aspects in the preparation, conduct, and interpretation of epidemiological investigations on the health effects of exposure to asbestos and asbestos-like fibres. DESIGN, SETTING, ANDPARTICIPANTS:
the document was prepared by a working group of AIE associates, with a broad curriculum of epidemiological investigations, starting from the evaluation of scientific evidence, and was subsequently evaluated by the AIE governing body.RESULTS:
the topics covered included ⢠consumption and presence of asbestos; ⢠association between asbestos exposure and disease; ⢠epidemiological surveillance of asbestos related diseases in Italy; ⢠risk function for asbestos related diseases; ⢠increased risk and anticipation of the disease; ⢠interaction between asbestos and other carcinogens; ⢠diagnosis in epidemiological studies; ⢠assessment of exposure to asbestos; ⢠epidemiological evidence on asbestos related diseases.CONCLUSIONS:
the document ends with a summary of the conclusions of scientific research shared by AIE, with reflection on the methodology to be followed for the application at individual level of the results of epidemiological studies, and the proposal of themes on which to direct research.Palavras-chave
