Journal ArticleDOI

The Prevalence of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Children and Adolescents

TL;DR: The review suggests the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in young people is high, particularly in those who are obese and in males, with estimated prevalence being highest in Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Objective measures of physical capability and subsequent health: a systematic review

TL;DR: Most studies found that weaker grip strength and slower walking speed were associated with increased risk of future fractures and cognitive decline, but residual confounding may explain results in some studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Commentary: Two-sample Mendelian randomization: opportunities and challenges.

TL;DR: This volume of the IJE explores the causal effect of adiposity on several cancers using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR), and finds some evidence that greater adult body mass index (BMI) causally reduces the risk of breast cancer while increasing ovarian, lung and colorectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between falls in elderly women and chronic diseases and drug use: cross sectional study.

TL;DR: Chronic diseases and multiple pathology are more important predictors of falling than polypharmacy and only two classes of drugs were independently associated with an increased odds of falling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function

Cristian Pattaro, +735 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate suggests that genetic determinants of eGFR are mediated largely through direct effects within the kidney and highlight important cell types and biological pathways.
