Journal ArticleDOI
Sarcopenic obesity or obese sarcopenia: A cross talk between age-associated adipose tissue and skeletal muscle inflammation as a main mechanism of the pathogenesis.
TL;DR: This condition is proposed to be defined as "obese sarcopenia", to reflect the direction of the pathological pathway, and it is believed that AT inflammation dominates over skeletal muscle inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lumbar disc degeneration and genetic factors are the main risk factors for low back pain in women: the UK Twin Spine Study
Gregory Livshits,Maria Popham,Ida Malkin,Philip N. Sambrook,Alex J. MacGregor,Tim D. Spector,Frances M K Williams +6 more
TL;DR: The main risk factors for reported episodes of severe and disabling LBP in UK women include the degree of LDD as assessed by MRI, being overweight and genetic heritability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-6 is a significant predictor of radiographic knee osteoarthritis: The Chingford study
Gregory Livshits,Guangju Zhai,Deborah J. Hart,Bernet S. Kato,Huizhong Wang,Frances M K Williams,Tim D. Spector +6 more
TL;DR: This followup study showed that individuals were more likely to be diagnosed as having RKOA if they had a higher BMI and increased circulating levels of IL-6, and should stimulate more work on IL- 6 as a potential therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study represents the first effort to assess the contribution of genetic loci to three skeletal components of height, and validates four novel loci controlling adult stature.
Journal Article
Fluctuating asymmetry as a possible measure of developmental homeostasis in humans: a review.
TL;DR: Experimental data and the literature support the first hypothesis and indicate that individuals who suffer from chromosomal or polygenic morbidity and from anomalies or conditions of development with still unknown genetic components demonstrate an elevated FA of various structures.
