Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal and fetal genetic effects on birth weight and their relevance to cardio-metabolic risk factors

Nicole M. Warrington, +245 more
- 01 May 2019 - 
TL;DR: An expanded GWAS of birth weight and subsequent analysis using structural equation modeling and Mendelian randomization decomposes maternal and fetal genetic contributions and causal links between birth weight, blood pressure and glycemic traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of vitamin D status with arterial blood pressure and hypertension risk: A mendelian randomisation study

Karani Santhanakrishnan Vimaleswaran, +118 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a mendelian randomisation approach to test whether low plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentration is causally associated with blood pressure and hypertension risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult lung function and long-term air pollution exposure. ESCAPE: a multicentre cohort study and meta-analysis

TL;DR: It is observed that a 10 μg·m−3 increase in NO2 exposure was associated with lower levels of FEV1, and this study adds to the evidence for an adverse association of ambient air pollution with lung function in adults at very low levels in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

New loci associated with birth weight identify genetic links between intrauterine growth and adult height and metabolism.

Momoko Horikoshi, +174 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: The number of loci associated at genome-wide significance to 7, accounting for a similar proportion of variance as maternal smoking, are extended and highlight genetic links between fetal growth and postnatal growth and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term Effects of Ambient Air Pollution on Lung Function: A Review

TL;DR: There is strong support for air pollution effects on the development of lung function in children and adolescents but further research is needed on the relevance of specific pollution sources, particularly with regard to susceptible populations and relevant exposure periods throughout life.
