TL;DR: It is found that variants at the EBF1, EEFSEC, AGTR2, WNT4, ADCY5, and RAP2C loci were associated with gestational duration and variants atThe EBF 1, EE FSEC, and AG TR2 loci with preterm birth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review of long term effects of advice to reduce dietary salt in adults
TL;DR: Intensive interventions, unsuited to primary care or population prevention programmes, provide only small reductions in blood pressure and sodium excretion, and effects on deaths and cardiovascular events are unclear.

Genetic epidemiology and public health: hope, hype, and future prospects
TL;DR: The use of molecular genetic screening currently has some legitimacy in certain monogenic conditions, but no established value with respect to common complex diseases as mentioned in this paper, but the implications of findings from such studies for individual or population health are unclear.
