Associations between circulating metabolites and incidence of breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancers in the HUNT Study and UK Biobank

Breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancers are the most common cancers in both women and men globally. The role of circulating metabolites, including lipoprotein subfractions, in the development of these cancers remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to explore the associations between circulatin...

Whole-genome sequencing in mitral valve prolapse: an exploratory study on genes associated with mitral valve prolapse and cardiac arrhythmias

Prediction of Type 2 Diabetes using genomics and proteomics: the HUNT Study (ProtRS for T2D)

The associated proteins and biological pathways identified represent insights into the underlying molecular mechanism of T2D and may serve as potential biomarkers for risk prediction and prevention for T2D.

Investigating adiposity in childhood and adulthood on later life sleep health: a lifecourse Mendelian randomization study

Higher body size in childhood is not a risk factor for later life insomnia, whereas higher body size in adulthood was, in both univariable and multivariable analysis, increased body size in adulthood increased the risk of having insomnia and a morning chronotype.

Effects of maternal and paternal smoking on offspring cardiometabolic risk factors in adulthood: a multi-method intergenerational Mendelian randomization study

Little evidence that maternal smoking initiation affected WHR is found, and little evidence that maternal smoking heaviness affected the remaining cardiometabolic risk factors; paternal smoking showed no clear effect on any outcome.
