A century of theories of balancing selection

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature – after all – ‘selects’ the best genotypes at the expense of those that fall short.

Effect Modification by Cofactors in the Impact of Body Mass Index Change on the Risk of Lung Cancer

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Persistent overweight or obesity, and BMI gain from normal to overweight or obesity, were consistently associated with reduced lung cancer risk, with stronger associations among men and ever smokers. Persistent underweight and BMI loss were associated with increased lung cancer risk, particularly in men. The protective effect of obesity and BMI gain is

Disentangling the relationship between glucose, insulin and brain health: A UK Biobank study

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Glycaemic traits are associated with poorer brain health and dementia risk. Recent advances in genetic instruments for specific glycaemic markers enable an in‐depth investigation of the likely nature of associations and underlying mechanisms between diabetes‐related mechanisms and brain health and dementia.
