Association between neighbourhood deprivation and hypertension in a US-wide Cohort
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic status (SES) at the individual level is associated with hypertension risk. Less is known about neighbourhood level SES or how neighbourhood and individual level SES may jointly affect hypertension risk. METHODS: The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) includes 17 census-based measures reflecting neighbourhood SES. The ADI was linked to enrolment addresses of 47 329 women in the Sister Study cohort and categorised as ≤10% (low d…
Numbers of close contacts of individuals infected with Sars-CoV-2 and their association with government intervention strategies
We found that the number of contacts per infected case was overdispersed, the mean varied considerable over time and was temporally associated with government interventions. Analysis of the reported number of contacts per individual in contact tracing data may be a useful early indicator of changes in behaviour in response to, or indeed despite, government restrictions. This study provides useful information for triangulating assumptions regardin…

A Quantile-Based g-Computation Approach to Addressing the Effects of Exposure Mixtures
BACKGROUND: Exposure mixtures frequently occur in data across many domains, particularly in the fields of environmental and nutritional epidemiology. Various strategies have arisen to answer questions about exposure mixtures, including methods such as weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression that estimate a joint effect of the mixture components. OBJECTIVES: We demonstrate a new approach to estimating the joint effects of a mixture: quantile g-comp…
Early Coital Debut and Associated HIV Risk Factors Among Young Women and Men in South Africa
CONTEXT: Young people in South Africa are at high risk of HIV infection.Because first sexual experiences may influence a young person's HIV risk,a better understanding of coital debut is needed
