Journal ArticleDOI

European guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention in clinical practice. Third Joint Task Force of European and Other Societies on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Clinical Practice.

TL;DR: It is of great importance that guidelines and recommendations are presented in formats that are easily interpreted, and their implementation programmes must also be well conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Birthweight, body-mass index in middle age, and incident coronary heart disease

TL;DR: There is an important interaction between birthweight and BMI such that the increased risk of coronary heart disease associated with low birthweight is restricted to people who have high BMI in adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex-stratified Genome-wide Association Studies Including 270,000 Individuals Show Sexual Dimorphism in Genetic Loci for Anthropometric Traits

Joshua C. Randall, +308 more
- 06 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: The value of sex-specific GWAS to unravel the sexually dimorphic genetic underpinning of complex traits is demonstrated, with no evidence for genetic effects with opposite directions in men versus women.
Journal ArticleDOI

The methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) A66G polymorphism is a novel genetic determinant of plasma homocysteine concentrations

TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence that the MTRR A66G polymorphism significantly influences the circulating tHcy concentration, and estimates that 66AA homozygotes have, on average, an approximately 4% increase in cardiovascular disease risk compared to 66GG homozygote.
