Morbidity-bridging metabolic pathways: linking early cardiovascular disease risk and depression symptoms using a multi-modal approach

Eur Heart J Open. 2025 Apr 16;5(3):oeaf038. doi: 10.1093/ehjopen/oeaf038. eCollection 2025 May. ABSTRACT AIMS: Prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and depression is rising globally.

Polygenic risk for schizophrenia and subjective well-being in a general population sample

Psychol Med. 2025 May 2;55:e133. doi: 10.1017/S0033291725000911.

We now investigated the relationship of PRSSCZ with subjectively experienced well-being. METHODS: Participants…

Regulation of nc886 (vtRNA2-1) RNAs is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors and diseases

Clin Epigenetics. 2025 Apr 29;17(1):68. doi: 10.1186/s13148-025-01871-7. ABSTRACT Non-coding 886 (nc886, vtRNA2-1) is a polymorphically imprinted gene. The methylation status of this locus has been shown to be associated with periconceptional conditions, and both the methylation status and the levels of nc886 RNAs have been shown to associate with later-life…

Association of multimorbidity with working life expectancy among adults aged 50 years and older: Findings from two prospective cohort studies

J Multimorb Comorb. 2025 Apr 15;15:26335565251331187. doi: 10.1177/26335565251331187. eCollection 2025 Jan-Dec. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Individual diseases are important risk factors for early exit from the labour force among older adults, but the contribution of multimorbidity to working life expectancy (WLE) is unclear. METHODS: We used data from two prospective cohort studies:…

Measuring adverse childhood experiences by interviewing children at 9 and 10 years of age: Prevalence, concordance with mother-reports, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, and subjective experience of being asked about adverse childhood experiences in FinnBrain Birth cohort study

J Exp Child Psychol. 2025 Apr 18;256:106238. doi: 10.1016/j.jecp.2025.106238. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT How children experience the screening of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is little studied. Moreover, the similarity between parental and child reports is unknown. We interviewed 9-year-olds (a subsample of the FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study; N =…

Impact of retirement transition on health, well-being and health behaviours: critical insights from an overview of reviews

Soc Sci Med. 2025 Apr 3;375:118049. doi: 10.1016/j.socscimed.2025.118049. Online ahead of print.
