Journal ArticleDOI
Work-family life courses and markers of stress and inflammation in mid-life: evidence from the National Child Development Study.
Rebecca E. Lacey,Amanda Sacker,Meena Kumari,Diana Worts,Peggy McDonough,Cara L Booker,Anne McMunn +6 more
TL;DR: Work-family life courses characterised by early parenthood or weak work ties were associated with a raised risk profile in relation to chronic inflammation and gender differences in these associations were explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social isolation and diurnal cortisol patterns in an ageing cohort
TL;DR: Independently of multiple behavioural and psychosocial correlates, recent onset of social isolation is related to diurnal cortisol patterns that increase the risk of morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
APOE polymorphism, socioeconomic status and cognitive function in mid-life : The Whitehall II longitudinal study
J H Zhao,Eric J. Brunner,Meena Kumari,Archana Singh-Manoux,Emma Hawe,P.J. Talmud,Michael Marmot,Steve E. Humphries +7 more
TL;DR: APOE-ɛ4 has little influence on cognitive decline in mid-life, whereas SES is a strong determinant, although APOE genotype may emerge as an important factor in cognitive function in later life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is There an Association between Work Stress and Diurnal Cortisol Patterns? Findings from the Whitehall II Study.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the associations of work stress with cortisol are modest, with associations apparent for ERI model rather than JDC model, and moderate gender interactions were observed regarding CAR and JDC models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hingorani,Steve E. Humphries +21 more
TL;DR: At the population level, common SNPs associated with LDL-C and TC contribute to blood lipid variation, cardiovascular risk, use of lipid-lowering medications and coronary events, however, their effects are too small to discriminate future lipid- Lowering medication requirements or coronary events.
