GWAS on longitudinal growth traits reveals different genetic factors influencing infant, child, and adult BMI.

- 04 Sep 2019 - 
TL;DR: A robust overlap is found between the genetics of child and adult body mass index (BMI), with variants associated with adult BMI acting as early as 4 to 6 years old, and a completely distinct genetic makeup for peak BMI during infancy is demonstrated, influenced by variation at the LEPR/LEPROT locus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of Gestational Diabetes, Existing Diabetes, and Glycosuria With Offspring Obesity and Cardiometabolic Outcomes

TL;DR: Maternal pregnancy glycosuria, gestational diabetes, and existing diabetes show some associations with higher offspring fasting glucose and insulin assessed in adolescence but are not clearly associated with a wider range of cardiometabolic risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of the WHO Rose angina questionnaire in post-menopausal women: Are all of the questions necessary?

TL;DR: Results suggest that a shortened version of the Rose angina questionnaire focusing on exertional chest pain performs better than the full version, which is adequate in epidemiological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Randomised controlled trial adapting US school obesity prevention to England.

TL;DR: It is feasible to transfer this US school-based intervention to UK schools, and it may be effective in reducing the time children spend on screen-based activities, according to teachers’ views of the intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Socioeconomic position, cognitive function, and clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in adolescence: findings from the Mater University Study of Pregnancy and its outcomes.

TL;DR: Among adolescents, coronary heart disease risk factors cluster, and there is some evidence that this clustering is greater among those from families with low income and those who have lower cognitive function.
