🚀 New R package {bdlnm} now on CRAN!
Bayesian DLNM with INLA, extending {dlnm} to a Bayesian framework.
Includes prediction, visualization, optimal exposure estimation, attributable risk, and uncertainty from posterior samples.

🆕 Our new Nature Health commentary highlights the urgent need to standardize and strengthen early warning systems for heat‑related health risks. Most heat‑related deaths are preventable if we integrate epidemiology with real‑time climate forecasting. #PublicHealth

Dimarts 28/10, l’#ASPB va participar en la Jornada Científica Anual de CIBERESP 2025 que reunieix coneixement, recerca i experiències en epidemiologia i #salutpública.
👩🔬 Hi van participar: @tmontal.bsky.social @epistatistic.bsky.social @mpasarin.bsky.social Joan Pau Millet, i Xavi Continente
Molt agraïda de rebre la Medalla de plata d'Honor al Mèrit @gubbarcelona.bsky.social per els estudis d'accidentalitat i avaluacions d'interevencions de seguretat viària. Resultat de feina d'equip @Elena Santamariña @anovoa @Marta Olabarria @ecirera @epistatistic.bsky.social @carme1848.bsky.social
Importante contribución de @salutpublicabcn.bsky.social en la Reunión de la Sociedad Española de Epidemiología @mjlpz.bsky.social @epistatistic.bsky.social @maicars.bsky.social
#SEELasPalmas2025
Another year at the @seepidemiologia.bsky.social conference✨
I had the chance to present how the @salutpublicabcn.bsky.social carries out surveillance of the impact of heat on mortality.
Great sessions and always nice to reconnect with friends & colleagues!

🌍 Happy to share our new article on heat and mental health in 3.3M adults in Barcelona. Very warm days are linked to more anxiety and depression. Thanks to the team and special thanks to Andrea for his effort! 🙏

🌡️ New global study: hot nights increase mortality risk — independently of daytime heat. 178 cities, 44 countries, 14M+ deaths analyzed.
Our new study published in Environment Int and led by Carmen Iñiguez and myself from the MCC Research Network.

A huge thank you to our co-authors and funders for making this work possible! 🙏
We've made the reproducible R-INLA code available on GitHub (github.com/marcosqz/sbd...). We hope this encourages more researchers to apply SB-DLNMs in environmental epidemiology! #OpenScience #RStats
This speed boost, along with easier implementation on Linux clusters for parallelization, opens up new possibilities for using SB-DLNMs with large-scale datasets. Imagine continent-wide analyses! 🌍
Despite the significant speed improvement, the results from our R-INLA implementation are highly comparable to those from WinBUGS, showing similar temperature-mortality associations and spatial risk distributions.
Good news! We've rewritten SB-DLNMs in R-INLA, drastically cutting down computation time. For our case study on temperature-mortality in Barcelona, execution time dropped from over 14 days to just 25 minutes! ⏱️🔥
Originally, we implemented SB-DLNMs using WinBUGS, which was effective but computationally intensive (think weeks of execution time! 😫). Check out our previous work on this here: academic.oup.com/ije/article/...
We're excited to share our work on Spatial Bayesian Distributed Lag Non-Linear Models (SB-DLNMs) with R-INLA! These models are crucial for understanding how environmental exposures impact health in small areas. Read our new "Letter": academic.oup.com/ije/article-... #EpiTwitter #SpatialEpidemiology
5/5 📖 The article is available for free for the next 24 hours. Take advantage of this opportunity to download it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #NewPublication #Research #PublicHealth
4/5 💡 It also highlights the lessons learned from Barcelona's experience, offering valuable insights for other cities aiming to enhance their health governance.
3/5 🔍 The article examines how evidence from health reports has informed policies on housing, climate change, transport, and socioeconomic inequalities.
2/5 📚 This article delves into the 40-year history of health reporting in Barcelona and its significant impact on public health policies.
1/5 🌟 We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest article: "Barcelona: The experience of 40 years of health reports, a health for all policies tool." 🌟

🌍 New Study Alert! 🌍
🚸 Excited to share our latest research published in the International Journal of Public Health! We explored the use and perceptions of climate shelters in schoolyards in Barcelona. 🏫🌳

Special thanks to all co-authors, especially Karen Naes Aaserud and Laura Oliveras for their tremendous effort! #Research #HealthPlace #EnergyJustice
🏥 A strong link persists between EP & poor health, with EP doubling the risk of poor self-reported health & mental health. #MentalHealth #HealthEquity
📊 Energy Poverty (EP) increased from 12.4% (2016) to 14.4% (2021). Vulnerable groups like migrants from low- & middle-income countries & manual workers faced the greatest impacts. Women, particularly aged 15–65, were disproportionately affected. #PublicHealth
