Abstract

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Institute of Environmental Health (NIEHS) held a workshop in 2012 to discuss principles and applications of cumulative risk assessment (CRA). The workshop organizers chose cardiovascular disease (CVD) as an example health outcome for which cumulative risk considerations could illuminate environmental and health management strategies. To guide discussions, we developed a series of conceptual models illustrating factors influencing CVD. The CVD conceptual model represents complex processes across varying space and time scales, different causal pathways, and multiple chemical and non-chemical stressors and factors. It includes causal influences of environmental exposures and lifestyle choices, in the context of genetics and medical factors. The representation of cumulative risk as a network of interrelated nodes and arrows helps define and organize the problem and available information, determine the scope and scale, and creates a platform for analysis. It provides an interface for discussing how different entities (e.g., environmental versus health-driven organizations) can work together on different parts of the problem, and facilitates relative risk ranking and management triage. Color coding is used to distinguish categories of stressors and possible oversight responsibility. This work informs guidelines for CRA planning and assessment of factor combinations affecting real-world risk.

心血管疾病的风险是由环境、医疗和行为因素的不同组合驱动的:建立累积风险评估的概念模型

摘要

美国环境保护署 (EPA) 和国家环境卫生研究所 (NIEHS) 在 2012 年举办了一次研讨会,讨论累积风险评估 (CRA) 的原理和应用。研讨会组织者选择心血管疾病 (CVD) 作为健康结果的示例,累积风险考虑因素可以阐明环境和健康管理策略。为了指导讨论,我们开发了一系列概念模型来说明影响 CVD 的因素。CVD 概念模型代表了跨越不同空间和时间尺度、不同因果途径以及多种化学和非化学应激源和因素的复杂过程。它包括在遗传学和医学因素的背景下环境暴露和生活方式选择的因果影响。将累积风险表示为相互关联的节点和箭头网络有助于定义和组织问题和可用信息,确定范围和规模,并创建分析平台。它提供了一个界面,用于讨论不同实体(例如,环境与健康驱动的组织)如何在问题的不同部分协同工作,并促进相对风险排名和管理分类。颜色编码用于区分压力源类别和可能的监督责任。这项工作为 CRA 规划和评估影响现实世界风险的因素组合提供了指导方针。它提供了一个界面,用于讨论不同实体(例如,环境与健康驱动的组织)如何在问题的不同部分协同工作,并促进相对风险排名和管理分类。颜色编码用于区分压力源类别和可能的监督责任。这项工作为 CRA 规划和评估影响现实世界风险的因素组合提供了指导方针。它提供了一个界面,用于讨论不同实体(例如,环境与健康驱动的组织)如何在问题的不同部分协同工作,并促进相对风险排名和管理分类。颜色编码用于区分压力源类别和可能的监督责任。这项工作为 CRA 规划和评估影响现实世界风险的因素组合提供了指导方针。
