Genome-wide association scan meta-analysis identifies three loci influencing adiposity and fat distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
To identify genetic loci influencing central obesity and fat distribution, we performed a meta-analysis of 16 genome-wide association studies (GWAS, N = 38,580) informative for adult waist circumference (WC) and waist–hip ratio (WHR). We selected 26 SNPs

Associations of Bedtime Schedules in Childhood with Obesity Risk in Adolescence

open access: yesAdolescents, 2022

Separate and combined associations of body-mass index and abdominal adiposity with cardiovascular disease: collaborative analysis of 58 prospective studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BACKGROUND: Guidelines differ about the value of assessment of adiposity measures for cardiovascular disease risk prediction when information is available for other risk factors. We studied the separate and combined associations of body-mass index (BMI),
