TL;DR: The findings do not support the notion that higher BMI increases risk of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and the fact that SNP-depression associations were estimated in relatively small samples reduced power to detect causal effects.

TL;DR: For a given BMI, a gene variant associated with increased cigarette consumption was associated with increase waist circumference, suggesting that smoking in an effort to control weight may lead to accumulation of central adiposity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations between income inequality and mortality among US states: the importance of time period and source of income data.
TL;DR: The strong association between income inequality and mortality observed among US states for 1989 was not observed for other periods from 1949 through 1999 and when tax return rather than census data were used, the association was weaker for 1989 and 1999.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine genome-wide association studies with modeling of longitudinal growth traits to study the genetics of infant and child growth, followed by functional, pathway, genetic correlation, risk score, and colocalization analyses to determine how developmental timings, molecular pathways, and genetic determinants of these traits overlap with those of adult health.
