  • Mental health of individuals with pre-existing mental illnesses at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessJanine Stein, Alexander Pabst et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Background: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a range of studies on mental health, with mixed results. While numerous studies reported worsened conditions in individuals with pre-existing mental disorders, others showed resilience and stability in mental health. However, longitudinal data focusing on the German population are sparse, especially regarding effects of age and pre-existing mental disorders during the early stages of the pandemic. Object…

  • Components, prospects and challenges of personalized prevention

    Open AccessStefanie Jaskulski, Cosima Nuszbaum et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Effective preventive strategies are urgently needed to address the rising burden of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. To date, most prevention efforts to reduce disease incidence have primarily targeted populations using “one size fits all” public health recommendations and strategies. However, the risk for complex heterogeneous diseases is based on a multitude of clinical, genetic, and environmental factors, wh…

  • Birth Order, Caesarean Section, or Daycare Attendance in Relation to Child- and Adult-Onset Type 1 Diabetes

    Open AccessJustine Tanoey, Christina Baechle et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    (1) Background: Global incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is rising and nearly half occurred in adults. However, it is unclear if certain early-life childhood T1D risk factors were also associated with adult-onset T1D. This study aimed to assess associations between birth order, delivery mode or daycare attendance and type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk in a population-based cohort and whether these were similar for childhood- and adult-onset T1D (cut-off…

  • Genomics, Telomere Length, Epigenetics, and Metabolomics in the Nurses’ Health Studies

    Mary K Townsend, Hugues Aschard et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2016References: 43

    Objectives. To review the contribution of the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) and NHS II to genomics, epigenetics, and metabolomics research. Methods. We performed a narrative review of the publications of the NHS and NHS II between 1990 and 2016 based on biospecimens, including blood and tumor tissue, collected from participants. Results. The NHS has contributed to the discovery of genetic loci influencing more than 45 complex human phenotypes, inclu…

  • Reproducibility and Validity of Maternal Recall of Pregnancy-Related Events

    Catherine A Tomeo, Janet W Rich-Edwards et al.ARTICLEEpidemiology1999

    We assessed the reproducibility and validity of a questionnaire that asks mothers to recall pregnancy-related events from thirty or more years ago. Among 146 women who completed the questionnaire twice, responses were highly reproducible for pre-pregnancy height and weight (r = 0.95), pregnancy complications (r = 0.74), substance use (r = 0.80), preterm delivery (r = 0.82), birthweight (r = 0.94), and breastfeeding (r = 0.89). Among 154 women who…
