Genetic evidence of assortative mating in humans
Life course structural equation model of the effects of prenatal and postnatal growth on adult blood pressure
BACKGROUND: Fetal and postnatal growth have been associated with adult blood pressure (BP), but findings about the relative importance of growth at different stages of life on BP are inconsistent. METHODS: The study population comprised 5198 participants from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 with data on birth weight, height and weight measurements until adolescence, systolic and diastolic BP at 31 years and several covariates. Structural e…

Scoping the impact of the national child measurement programme feedback on the child obesity pathway: Study protocol
This study will provide the first large scale evaluation of the National Child Measurement Programme feedback. Findings from this evaluation will inform future planning of the National Child Measurement Programme
OP41 Birth Size and Mortality in Breast Cancer Patients
Background Previous studies suggest that larger birth size is associated with a higher breast cancer incidence, but the few studies of birth measures and mortality in breast cancer cases have been inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate survival of women after breast cancer diagnosis (N=436) in the Uppsala Birth Cohort born in 1915–1929, who had detailed obstetric records available. Methods Cox regression was used to calculate haza…
Birthweight and mortality in adulthood: A systematic review and meta-analysis
A Common Variant in the FTO Gene Is Associated with Body Mass Index and Predisposes to Childhood and Adult Obesity
Obesity is a serious international health problem that increases the risk of several common diseases. The genetic factors predisposing to obesity are poorly understood. A genome-wide search for type 2 diabetesâ susceptibility genes identified a common variant in the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene that predisposes to diabetes through an effect on body mass index (BMI). An additive association of the variant with BMI was replicated in 1…
Cloninger's Temperament Dimensions, Socio-economic and Lifestyle Factors and Metabolic Syndrome Markers at Age 31 Years in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966
The aim of this study was to assess the association between temperament and metabolic syndrome markers. Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory and clinical examination were carried out in 1997 in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 ( N = 4364 respondents). Novelty seeking was positively associated with waist circumference in both genders. Systolic blood pressure was highest in men with high harm avoidance and low persistence scores an…
