A number of large cohort studies conducted by faculty members from the epidemiology and biostatistics department have focused on how lifestyle factors and air pollution affect health outcomes. These studies were funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency. Some of the most recent findings from these studies have shown relations between:
