RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The TEDDY study prospectively follows 8,676 children with increased genetic…
Latent profile analysis of diurnal cortisol patterns at the ages of 2, 3.5, and 5 years: Associations with childcare setting, child individual characteristics, and maternal distress
Psychoneuroendocrinology. 2023 Jul 29;156:106345. doi: 10.1016/j.psyneuen.2023.106345. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT This study performed latent profile analysis from more than 4000 saliva cortisol samples collected from children at the ages of 2 (T1), 3.5 (T2), and 5 years (T3). Three clearly different cortisol profiles were identified. The largest group at…
The association of previous night’s sleep duration with cognitive function among older adults: a pooled analysis of three Finnish cohorts
Eur J Ageing. 2023 Aug 3;20(1):32. doi: 10.1007/s10433-023-00779-6. ABSTRACT STUDY OBJECTIVES: Sleep duration has been shown to associate with cognitive function, but little is known about the short-term effect of sleep duration on the previous night. This study examines how usual sleep duration and previous night’s sleep duration are associated…
Genetic insights into resting heart rate and its role in cardiovascular disease

Psychiatry Res. 2023 Jul 17;326:115355. doi: 10.1016/j.psychres.2023.115355. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT We investigated whether individuals, who have a high polygenic loading for schizophrenia and major depression (PGL) but have not developed the respective disorders, are still susceptible to experience milder forms of ill-being in terms of job strain or…
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease incidence and remission and their predictors during 7 years follow-up among Finns
J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2023 Jul 18:dgad418. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgad418. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND & AIMS: The incidence and remission of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are sparsely studied outside Asia. This prospective study aimed to investigate NAFLD incidence and remission, and their predictors among a general Finnish population.
