TL;DR: How often the log odds, risk, or hazard ratio per unit increase in exposure, and its standard error, can be estimated from results reported from observational studies of diet and prostate or bladder cancer so that results are usable in meta-analyses estimating dose-response associations is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Software Application Profile: PHESANT: a tool for performing automated phenome scans in UK Biobank.
TL;DR: PHESANT (PHEnome Scan ANalysis Tool), a software package for performing comprehensive phenome scans in UK Biobank, uses a novel rule-based algorithm to determine how to appropriately test each trait, then performs the analyses and produces plots and summary tables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Determinants and the Decline of Cardiovascular Diseases: Understanding the Links
TL;DR: It is argued that understanding patterns and trends of social inequalities in cardiovascular disease and its risk factors requires consideration of the specific intersections of health and social exposures acting across the life course in different settings, in both time and place.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adiposity and cardiovascular risk factors in a large contemporary population of pre-pubertal children
Emanuela Falaschetti,Aroon D. Hingorani,Alexander Jones,Marietta Charakida,Nick Finer,Peter H. Whincup,Debbie A Lawlor,George Davey Smith,Naveed Sattar,John E. Deanfield +9 more
TL;DR: In pre-pubertal UK children, overweight/obesity is common and has broadly similar associations with BP, HDL cholesterol, and non-HDL cholesterol to those observed in adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
An atlas of polygenic risk score associations to highlight putative causal relationships across the human phenome
TL;DR: Findings were inverse associations with measures of cognitive function which extensive follow-up analyses using Mendelian randomization provided evidence of a causal relationship and the effect of multiple risk factors on disease using mediation and multivariable MR frameworks.
