Changes in survival probabilities and mortality risks among population living with Down syndrome born 1967–2018
While medical advancements and increased awareness have improved the life expectancy of individuals with Down syndrome (DS), studies on cohort-specific differences in mortality risk and long-term survival outcomes among individuals with DS remain limited. We assessed cohort differences in survival probabilities and mortality risk among individuals with DS born 1967–2018, using Norwegian national registry data. Utilizing the Medical Birth Registry…
Mediators of educational differences in dementia risk later in life
Despite a well-known inverse association between education and dementia risk, the mediating mechanisms are not well understood. We explored how lifestyle and health risk factors across the life-course mediate the relationship between education and dementia among adults aged 70 + years. We included 7,655 participants with dementia diagnoses and education information, using a historical cohort design linking prospective exposure data across the lif…
Combining Three Cohorts of World Trade Center Rescue/Recovery Workers for Assessing Cancer Incidence and Mortality
Three cohorts including the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY), the World Trade Center Health Registry (WTCHR), and the General Responder Cohort (GRC), each funded by the World Trade Center Health Program have reported associations between WTC-exposures and cancer. Results have generally been consistent with effect estimates for excess incidence for all cancers ranging from 6 to 14% above background rates. Pooling would increase sampl…
Matrilineal diversity and population history of Norwegians
BACKGROUND: While well known for its Viking past, Norway's population history and the influences that have shaped its genetic diversity are less well understood. This is particularly true with respect to its demography, migration patterns, and dialectal regions, despite there being curated historical records for the past several centuries. In this study, we undertook an analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity within the country to elabora…
