Geographical variation in cardiovascular disease, risk factors, and their control in older women: British Women's Heart and Health Study
TL;DR: Older British women have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease and risk factors than previously documented, and these are somewhat, but not fully, explained by variations in major risk factors, socioeconomic position, and health service utilisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma adiponectin levels are associated with insulin resistance, but do not predict future risk of coronary heart disease in women
TL;DR: It is premature to consider adiponectin as a root for vascular disease in women despite its association with insulin resistance and diabetes, and additional prospective studies are required to determine whether there is a true sex difference in the effect of adip on CHD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss to follow-up in cohort studies: bias in estimates of socioeconomic inequalities.
TL;DR: Considerable attrition from cohort studies may result in biased estimates of socioeconomic inequalities, and the degree of bias may worsen as participation rates decrease, but qualitative conclusions about the direction and approximate magnitude of inequalities did not change among most of the authors' examples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex matters: secular and geographical trends in sex differences in coronary heart disease mortality
TL;DR: Trends indicate that sex differences in mortality from coronary heart disease are driven primarily by environmental factors and hence not inevitable, which has important implications for public health.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An overview of European pregnancy and birth cohorts registered in a freely accessible database located at http://www.birthcohorts.net demonstrates a great potential for cross-cohort collaboration addressing important aspects of child health.
