TL;DR: The results support the potential for large-scale studies of the plasma proteome over the lifespan and show multiplexed modified aptamer technology can assay thousands of proteins with excellent precision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of orthostatic hypotension with incident dementia, stroke, and cognitive decline.
Andreea M. Rawlings,Andreea M. Rawlings,Stephen P. Juraschek,Stephen P. Juraschek,Gerardo Heiss,Timothy M. Hughes,Michelle L. Meyer,Elizabeth Selvin,A. Richey Sharrett,B. Gwen Windham,Rebecca F. Gottesman +10 more
TL;DR: OH assessed in midlife was independently associated with incident dementia and ischemic stroke and potential mechanisms for these associations are needed and possible applications for prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kidney disease and the cumulative burden of life course socioeconomic conditions: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.
David A. Shoham,Suma Vupputuri,Jay S. Kaufman,Abhijit V. Kshirsagar,Ana V. Diez Roux,Josef Coresh,Gerardo Heiss +6 more
TL;DR: The conclusion is that chronic kidney disease is associated with life course socioeconomic conditions, and life course social class and neighborhood conditions deserve further attention in accounting for socioeconomic disparities in kidney disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipoprotein(a) at birth, in blacks and whites.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the system responsible for the production and control of Lp(a) concentration is not yet mature--or has not yet been challenged--at birth, and a gradual increase in Lp (a) concentrations from birth to adult values by the second year of life is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
