Daycare attendance, breastfeeding, and risk of asthma in the prospective MoBa and DIPP birth cohorts

Pediatr Allergy Immunol. 2026 Oct;37(10):e70520. doi: 10.1111/pai.70520. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Daycare attendance and breastfeeding have been associated with asthma risk. However, it remains unclear whether the association between breastfeeding and asthma risk depends on daycare attendance. We investigated whether daycare attendance acts as a modifier in the relationship between breastfeeding and…

Device-Measured 24-h Movement Behaviors and Arterial Intima-Media Thickness in Young Adults

Scand J Med Sci Sports. 2026 Nov;36(11):e70387. doi: 10.1111/sms.70387. ABSTRACT Physical activity, including light physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behavior (SED), and sleep, often referred to as “24-h movement behaviors”, are modifiable behaviors that may be associated with arterial intima-media thickness (IMT). However, their combined associations…

How composition of device-measured 24-h movement behaviors differs between office and remote workdays among hybrid workers?

Int J Behav Nutr Phys Act. 2026 Jul 28;23(1):100. doi: 10.1186/s12966-026-01959-0. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence, especially from the post‑pandemic period, on how remote workdays differ from office workdays in 24‑h movement behaviors, that is, sleep, sedentary behavior (SED), light physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and…

Polygenic risk for schizophrenia predicting age-specific fluctuations in depressive symptoms: Findings from the Young Finns Study

Schizophr Res. 2026 Oct 17;298:205-213. doi: 10.1016/j.schres.2026.10.009. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: A well-established connection exists between psychoses and depression, with one presentation being depressive symptoms before psychosis. However, the predictive power of preceding affective symptoms is reported to be low, raising the question whether depressive symptoms could reflect…

CTLA4 rs3087243-A-linked haplotype is associated with increased CTLA-4 expression and suppressive function in human regulatory T cells

J Immunol. 2026 Oct 1;215(10):vkag276. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkag276. ABSTRACT CTLA-4 is an inhibitory receptor on T cells that limits immune activation by competing with the co-stimulatory receptor CD28 for binding to CD80 and CD86 on antigen-presenting cells. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) employ CTLA-4-mediated transendocytosis as a key suppressive mechanism. Several CTLA4…

Lipoprotein(a): Particle vs mass and prevalent cardiovascular disease in the cardiovascular risk in Young Finns study population

J Clin Lipidol. 2026 Sep 25:S1933-2874(26)00528-3. doi: 10.1016/j.jacl.2026.09.019. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] can be reported as mass (mg/dL) or particle concentration (nmol/L). Because Lp(a) acts at the particle level, molar concentration may better reflect biologically relevant exposure. OBJECTIVE: To compare molar- and mass-based Lp(a) in relation…

Device-measured physical activity and sedentary behavior during office versus remote workdays among hybrid workers

Scand J Work Environ Health. 2026 Oct 2:4335. doi: 10.5271/sjweh.4335. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Daily sedentary time (SED) has been found to be higher during remote compared to office workdays, but current evidence mostly relies on studies from COVID-19 pandemic times. This study aimed to compare device-measured physical…

Multi-National Evaluation of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Equations in Young Adulthood for Long-Term Risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

Circ Popul Health Outcomes. 2026 Sep 30:e013678. doi: 10.1161/CIRCOUTCOMES.125.013678. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Accurate low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) assessment in young adulthood is critical for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) prevention, yet the optimal estimation equation remains uncertain. We compared the Friedewald, Martin-Hopkins, and Sampson equations for evaluating long-term…

Transition to Retirement Impact on Physical Activity: Longitudinal Temporal Trajectories of Frequency and Intensity From the Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe

J Phys Act Health. 2026 Sep 23:1-11. doi: 10.1123/jpah.2025-0143. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Major life course transitions such as retirement may substantially affect lifestyles. Despite the well-established benefits of physical activity (PA) in older ages, evidence on its relationship with retirement remains inconsistent. This study examines the impact…

Dietary vitamin C intake and the risk of islet autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes: The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) Study

Eur J Nutr. 2026 Sep 24;65(7):262. doi: 10.1007/s00394-026-04116-2. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: We explored the associations between vitamin C intake and the risk of islet autoimmunity (IA) and/or type 1 diabetes in genetically at-risk children. Furthermore, we explored associations between vitamin C metabolism-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and type 1 diabetes outcomes.
