Journal ArticleDOI
Alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and all-cause mortality: results from a population-based Danish twins study alanine aminotransferase, GGT and mortality in elderly twins.
TL;DR: A large number of studies have found associations of these liver enzymes with all‐cause mortality, but none of these studies controlled for genetic variation as well as fetal and early life exposure, whether environmental or genetic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and D2 with academic performance in childhood: findings from a prospective birth cohort
TL;DR: The findings do not support suggestions that children should have controlled exposure to sunlight, or vitamin D supplements, in order to increase academic performance and the unexpected inverse association of 25(OH)D2 with academic performance requires replication.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) with incident coronary heart disease in women: findings from the prospective British Women's Heart and Health Study
TL;DR: It is suggested that higher IGF-1 levels are not associated with CHD in older British women, and the contradictory evidence to date in this area highlights the need for further large-scale prospective studies and use of genetic epidemiology studies to determine the nature of the association.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol dehydrogenase type 1C (ADH1C) variants, alcohol consumption traits, HDL-cholesterol and risk of coronary heart disease in women and men: British Women's Heart and Health Study and Caerphilly cohorts.

TL;DR: This paper found no evidence of interactions between ADH1C variants and moderate alcohol intake on HDL-cholesterol, blood pressure, or coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence, and they did not support the hypothesis that variants are associated with CHD risk in people who drink moderately.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiencing menopause in the UK: The interrelated narratives of normality, distress, and transformation
TL;DR: Three interdependent narratives emerged: menopause as a normal, biological process, distinct from self and social transitions; menoause as struggle, an “idiom of distress” expressing upset, identity loss, shame, and social upheaval; and menoaning as transformative and liberating, arising from biopsychic and relational changes.
