METHODS: Study comprised…
NMR metabolomic modeling of age and lifespan: A multicohort analysis
Aging Cell. 2024 Apr 18:e14164. doi: 10.1111/acel.14164. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Metabolomic age models have been proposed for the study of biological aging, however, they have not been widely validated. We aimed to assess the performance of newly developed and existing nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) metabolomic age models…
Mother-Infant Interaction and Maternal Postnatal Psychological Distress Associate with Child’s Social-Emotional Development During Early Childhood: A FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study
Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 2024 Apr 16. doi: 10.1007/s10578-024-01694-2. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT We studied the effects of mother-infant interaction and maternal pre- and postnatal psychological distress on children’s social-emotional problems and competences, as well as whether interaction quality moderates the association between distress and children’s outcomes. Maternal pre-…
Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels From Childhood to Adulthood and Cardiovascular Disease Events
JAMA. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1001/jama.2024.4819. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT IMPORTANCE: Elevated non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C; a recommended measure of lipid-related cardiovascular risk) is common in children and increases risk of adult cardiovascular disease (CVD). Whether resolution of elevated childhood non-HDL-C levels by adulthood is associated with reduced risk…
Subclinical atherosclerosis in young adults predicting cardiovascular disease: The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
Atherosclerosis. 2024 Mar 19:117515. doi: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117515. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Atherosclerosis is accompanied by pre-clinical vascular changes that can be detected using ultrasound imaging. We examined the value of such pre-clinical features in identifying young adults who are at risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
Sleep disturbances in late pregnancy: associations with induction of labor
Arch Gynecol Obstet. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.1007/s00404-024-07492-4. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Sleep disturbances, which are common during pregnancy, may compromise labor. Nevertheless, little is known about associations between sleep disturbances and the likelihood of ending up induction of labor (IOL). Accordingly, we aimed to evaluate the connections…
Tracking of serum lipid levels from childhood to adulthood: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Atherosclerosis. 2024 Feb 27;391:117482. doi: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117482. Online ahead of print.
