Cognitive ability in offspring conscripts and cardiovascular disease risk in extended family members
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have demonstrated an inverse association between cognitive ability (CA) and risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This study aims to investigate the associations between CA in offspring and CVD mortality in relatives of the parental generation (ie, parents, aunts/uncles (A/U) and the partners of A/U) and assesses the role of modifiable risk factors on these associations. METHODS: This longitudinal study included nea…
Associations of mortality with own height using son's height as an instrumental variable
Height is associated with mortality from many diseases, but it remains unclear whether the association is causal or due to confounding by social factors, genetic pleiotropy,(1) or existing ill-health. The authors investigated whether the association of height with mortality is causal by using a son's height as an instrumental variable (IV) for parents' height among the parents of a cohort of 1,036,963 Swedish men born between 1951 and 1980 who ha…
Associations of mortality rates with height using son's height as an instrumental variable
Objectives Height has been negatively associated with mortality from circulatory disease, but positively associated with mortality from most forms of cancer. These results are vulnerable to confounding, including the confounding effect of early stages of disease causing shrinkage and later death. To avoid these problems, we used the height of subjects' sons as an instrument for subjects' own height. Design A record linkage cohort study of over 2 …
