New loci for body fat percentage reveal link between adiposity and cardiometabolic disease risk

Yingchang Lu, +311 more
TL;DR: The loci more strongly associated with BF% showed distinct cross-phenotype association signatures with a range of cardiometabolic traits revealing new insights in the link between adiposity and disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cohort Profile: The Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II)

TL;DR: The Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II), a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional project that ascertains a large number of ageing-related variables from a wide range of different functional domains, is launched, to identify and characterize the factors associated with 'healthy' vs. 'unhealthy' ageing.

New loci for body fat percentage reveal link between adiposity and cardiometabolic disease risk

Yingchang Lu, +311 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of body fat percentage (BF%) in up to 100,716 individuals to increase the understanding of the genetic basis of adiposity and its links to cardiometabolic disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

The bioimpedance phase angle predicts low muscle strength, impaired quality of life, and increased mortality in old patients with cancer.

TL;DR: PhA below the fifth reference percentile is highly predictive of decreased muscle strength, impaired quality of life, and increased mortality in old patients with cancer and should be evaluated in routine assessment.
