Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring causal associations between alcohol and coronary heart disease risk factors: findings from a Mendelian randomization study in the Copenhagen General Population Study
Debbie A Lawlor,Børge G. Nordestgaard,Børge G. Nordestgaard,M. Benn,M. Benn,Luisa Zuccolo,Anne Tybjærg-Hansen,Anne Tybjærg-Hansen,Anne Tybjærg-Hansen,George Davey Smith +9 more
TL;DR: The results show adverse effects of long-term alcohol consumption on body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, lipids, fibrinogen, and glucose and novel evidence for a potentially beneficial effect on triglyceride levels, which needs further replication.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of ambient outdoor temperature throughout pregnancy and offspring birthweight: findings from the Aberdeen Children of the 1950s cohort
TL;DR: This study assessed the effect of mean ambient outdoor temperature during gestation on birthweight and found that higher temperatures during gestation increased the likelihood of a baby being born with low birthweight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrauterine Exposure to Alcohol and Tobacco Use and Childhood IQ: Findings from a Parental-Offspring Comparison within the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children
Rosa Alati,John Macleod,Matthew Hickman,Kapil Sayal,Margaret T May,George Davey Smith,Debbie A Lawlor +6 more
TL;DR: In fully adjusted models, there was no strong statistical evidence that maternal alcohol and tobacco consumption during pregnancy were associated with childhood IQ with any greater magnitude than paternal alcohol and Tobacco consumption (also assessed during their partners' pregnancy).
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone and calcium with cardiovascular risk factors: analysis of 3 NHANES cycles (2001-2006).
TL;DR: Lower levels of 25(OH)D and higher levels of calcium and PTH appear to be associated with different cardiovascular risk factors and may therefore affect cardiovascular disease risk through different mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adipose and Height Growth Through Childhood and Blood Pressure Status in a Large Prospective Cohort Study
Alexander Jones,Marietta Charakida,Emanuela Falaschetti,Aroon D. Hingorani,Nick Finer,Stefano Masi,Ann E. Donald,Debbie A Lawlor,George Davey Smith,John E. Deanfield +9 more
TL;DR: Although BP at 10 years was associated with both prenatal and early postnatal growth, their influence was small compared with that of later growth, and a focus on strategies to reduce the development of adiposity from infancy onward should bring greater reductions in population BP.
