Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology, epigenetics and the ‘Gloomy Prospect’: embracing randomness in population health research and practice
TL;DR: Several lines of evidence suggest that epidemiological approaches will remain fruitful as the authors enter the decade of the epigenome, where the basic notion that what is near-random at one level may be almost entirely predictable at a higher level is an emergent property of many systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weight of Nations: a socioeconomic analysis of women in low to middle income countries
TL;DR: Higher BMI and overweight remain concentrated in higher socioeconomic groups, even though increasing BMI and obese prevalence are important global public concerns.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a delay-line read-out technique for microchannel plate detectors with an increased acceptance for multiple hit events compared to standard two-layer delayline anodes is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Psychological stress and cardiovascular disease: empirical demonstration of bias in a prospective observational study of Scottish men.
John Macleod,George Davey Smith,Pauline Heslop,Chris Metcalfe,Douglas Carroll,Carole L. Hart +5 more
TL;DR: The relation between higher stress, angina, and some categories of hospital admissions probably resulted from the tendency of participants reporting higher stress to also report more symptoms, and associations between psychosocial measures and disease outcomes reported from some other studies may be spurious.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gamma-Glutamyltransferase Is Associated With Incident Vascular Events Independently of Alcohol Intake: Analysis of the British Women’s Heart and Health Study and Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: GGT is associated with incident vascular events independently of alcohol intake, and the mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear and require future study.
