J Am Heart Assoc. 2025 Dec 23:e041805. doi: 10.1161/JAHA.124.041805. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Elevated childhood blood pressure (BP) levels may persist into adulthood, and persistent exposure to elevated BP since childhood may increase the adulthood risk of hypertension. This study examined the tracking of childhood BP into adulthood…

Diabetologia. 2025 Dec 19. doi: 10.1007/s00125-025-06635-9. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: In this prospective birth cohort study, we examined whether the dietary intake of A, B, C, D and E vitamins is associated with the risk of islet autoimmunity or type 1 diabetes in children who are genetically at…

Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 2025 Dec 15. doi: 10.1111/cen.70070. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Clinical autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), presenting as either hypo- or hyperthyroidism, can occur at any age. Autoantibodies against thyroid peroxidase or thyroglobulin precede the onset of clinical AITD. We aimed to assess factors associated with AITD…

Diabetologia. 2025 Dec 8. doi: 10.1007/s00125-025-06613-1. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aetiology of type 1 diabetes remains elusive. Family history of type 1 diabetes increases the disease risk but the role of other autoimmune diseases or type 2 diabetes in the family are unclear. Here, we aimed to…

Eur J Ageing. 2025 Nov 29. doi: 10.1007/s10433-025-00896-4. Online ahead of print.
