Increasing body mass index from age 5 to 14 years predicts asthma among adolescents: evidence from a birth cohort study.
Abdullah Al Mamun,Debbie A Lawlor,Rosa Alati,Michael O'Callaghan,Gail M. Williams,Jake M. Najman +5 more
TL;DR: Increase in BMI z-score between age 5 and 14 years is associated with increased risk of asthma symptoms in adolescence, and this association appeared stronger for male subjects compared with female subjects but there was no statistical evidence for a sex difference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Genetic Variation to Explore the Causal Effect of Maternal Pregnancy Adiposity on Future Offspring Adiposity: A Mendelian Randomisation Study
Rebecca C Richmond,Nicholas J. Timpson,Janine F. Felix,Tom Palmer,Romy Gaillard,George McMahon,George Davey Smith,Vincent W. V. Jaddoe,Debbie A Lawlor +8 more
TL;DR: The findings provide little evidence to support a strong causal intrauterine effect of incrementally greater maternal BMI resulting in greater offspring adiposity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations of birth size and duration of breast feeding with cardiorespiratory fitness in childhood: findings from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).
Debbie A Lawlor,Ashley R Cooper,Chris Bain,Chris Bain,George Davey Smith,Amanda Irwin,Chris Riddoch,Andy R Ness +7 more
TL;DR: Birth weight, length and ponderal index were all positively associated with cardiorespiratory fitness in both sexes, with no strong evidence of a difference in effect between girls and boys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lifetime body mass index and later atherosclerosis risk in young adults: examining causal links using Mendelian randomization in the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study
Mika Kivimäki,Mika Kivimäki,George Davey Smith,Nicholas J. Timpson,Debbie A Lawlor,G. D. Batty,Mika Kähönen,Markus Juonala,Tapani Rönnemaa,Jorma Viikari,Terho Lehtimäki,Olli T. Raitakari +11 more
TL;DR: Mutually supportive results from Mendelian randomization and standard regression models strengthen the evidence of the effect of lifetime BMI on atherosclerosis risk in young adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and D2 with depressive symptoms in childhood--a prospective cohort study.
Anna-Maija Tolppanen,Adrian Sayers,William D. Fraser,Glyn Lewis,Stanley Zammit,Stanley Zammit,Debbie A Lawlor +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations and depressive symptoms in children and found that higher concentrations of 25-OHD2 assessed at mean age 9.8 years were associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms at age 13.6 years.
