Epigenetic scores for blood protein levels identify those at risk of multiple age-related morbidities, up to 14 years prior to onset.

Associations between plasma protein levels and DNA methylation patterns can be used to predict the onset of age-related chronic disease.

A systematic review with multilevel modelling quantified the positive association between human antibodies to Anopheles salivary proteins with Anopheles-human biting rate and epidemiological measures of malaria transmission, highlighting their potential as a tool to measure vector exposure and malaria transmission.

DunedinPACE is a novel DNA methylation biomarker of the pace of biological aging for intervention trials and natural experiment studies investigating how the rate of aging may be changed by behavioral or drug therapy, or by environmental modification.

Cumulative exposure to adverse childhood experiences is associated with lower adult resilience among women in a dose-dependent manner, independent of adult socioeconomic factors and social support, indicating that adult female resilience is consolidated in early life.

Ecological and evolutionary perspectives are critical to understand, predict, prevent, and treat malaria parasites that may spread to humans from our close primate relatives.

We provide a tutorial to use GAMLSS, applied using cohort data to study how risk factors may influence both the mean and variability of body mass index and mental health.

Patient outcomes, and the time spent by patients during hospital admission, showed considerable variation over the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A machine learning model could accurately estimate daily salt consumption in the general population and can be applied to countries lacking urine sample to compute the mean salt consumption at the population level.

Using genetics, it is possible to uncouple higher adiposity from its adverse metabolic effects and show that some obesity-associated conditions may benefit from treating the metabolic effects alone, whilst others may benefit more from weight loss.
