Sex Differences in Longitudinal Determinants of Carotid Intima Medial Thickening With Aging in a Community‐Dwelling Population: The Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Common carotid intima medial thickness (IMT) increases with aging. However, the longitudinal association between IMT and other age‐associated hemodynamic alterations in men and in women are not fully explored.

Weakening of the cognition and height association from 1957 to 2018: Findings from four British birth cohort studies

eLife, 2023
Background: Taller individuals have been repeatedly found to have higher scores on cognitive assessments. Recent studies have suggested that this association can be explained by genetic factors, yet this does not preclude the influence of environmental ...

Changes in knee extension peak torque and body composition and their relationship with change in gait speed

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2019
Background Slow gait speed is a powerful predictor of disability in activities of daily living and mortality. Muscle strength and body composition change over time, but their changes differ by sex.

Life-course socioeconomic position and health in older adulthood: a causal mediation analysis in the 1958 British Birth Cohort

The Lancet Regional Health. Europe
Summary: Background: Childhood socioeconomic position (SEP) influences later health, but how inequalities persist into early older age and operate through adult SEP remains unclear. Quantifying these pathways is important for identifying opportunities to

A data driven approach to address missing data in the 1970 British birth cohort

BMC Medical Research Methodology
Background Missing data may induce bias when analysing longitudinal population surveys. We aimed to tackle this problem in the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70). Methods We utilised a data-driven approach to address missing data issues in BCS70.

Knee extension rate of torque development and peak torque: associations with lower extremity function

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018
Background With aging, the ability to generate muscle force decreases, contributing to declines in physical functions such as walking. While most studies assess muscle force by peak torque, the rate of torque development (RTD) reflects a dynamic ...
