TL;DR: A genome-wide analysis of unrelated adults with data on single nucleotide polymorphisms and detailed phenotypes on cognitive traits unequivocally confirms that a substantial proportion of individual differences in human intelligence is due to genetic variation, and is consistent with many genes of small effects underlying the additive genetic influences on intelligence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal vitamin d intake during pregnancy and early childhood wheezing
Graham Devereux,Augusto A. Litonjua,Stephen W Turner,Leone C A Craig,Geraldine McNeill,Sheelagh Martindale,Peter J. Helms,Anthony Seaton,Scott T. Weiss +8 more
TL;DR: Increasing maternal vitamin D intakes during pregnancy may decrease the risk of wheeze symptoms in early childhood, according to a comparison of the highest and lowest quintiles of maternal total vitamin D intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal obesity during pregnancy and premature mortality from cardiovascular event in adult offspring: follow-up of 1 323 275 person years
Rebecca M. Reynolds,Keith Allan,Edwin Amalraj Raja,Sohinee Bhattacharya,Geraldine McNeill,Philip C Hannaford,Nadeem Sarwar,Amanda J Lee,Siladitya Bhattacharya,Jane E. Norman +9 more
TL;DR: Maternal obesity is associated with an increased risk of premature death in adult offspring, and strategies to optimise weight before pregnancy are urgently required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical approaches for assessing the relative validity of a food-frequency questionnaire: use of correlation coefficients and the kappa statistic
Lindsey F. Masson,Geraldine McNeill,J. O. Tomany,Julie A. Simpson,Heather Peace,L. Wei,D. A. Grubb,C. Bolton-Smith +7 more
TL;DR: Both Spearman correlation coefficients and weighted kappa values are useful in assessing the relative validity of estimates of nutrient intake by FFQs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable diets for the future: can we contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by eating a healthy diet?
Jennie I. Macdiarmid,Janet Kyle,Graham W. Horgan,J. Loe,C. L. Fyfe,Alexandra M. Johnstone,Geraldine McNeill +6 more
TL;DR: A sustainable diet that meets dietary requirements for health with lower GHGEs can be achieved without eliminating meat or dairy products or increasing the cost to the consumer.
