Here we identify 113 novel loci, reporting a total of 2,103 independent genetic signals (P < 5 × 10-8) from the largest single-stage blood pressure (BP) genome-wide association study to…

Br J Surg. 2024 Apr 3;111(4):znae105. doi: 10.1093/bjs/znae105. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Metabolic bariatric surgery the reduces risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes in individuals with obesity, but it is unclear whether the benefit varies by sex, age, or socioeconomic status.

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2024 Apr 19. doi: 10.1158/1055-9965.EPI-23-1000. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Lifestyle factors may affect cancer risk. This study aimed to identify whether American Heart Association (AHA) Ideal Cardiovascular Health (ICH) score and its individual variables in youth associate with subsequent cancer incidence. METHODS: Study comprised…

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…

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-…

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…

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).
