Brain age has emerged as a powerful tool to understand neuroanatomical aging and its link to health outcomes like cognition. However, there remains a lack of studies investigating the rate of brain aging and its relationship to cognition. Furthermore...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have significantly advanced osteoporosis research by identifying genetic loci associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. However, disparities persist due to the underreprese...

INTRODUCTION: Preterm birth (PTB) remains a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding Singapore's PTB trends and associated risk factors can inform effective strategies for screening and intervention. This study anal...
BACKGROUND: Our research team previously found that fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21, a circulating hormone, was significantly associated with atherosclerosis in human and animal models. The relationship between FGF21 and blood pressure (BP) is rare...
BACKGROUND: Isolated Impaired Glucose Tolerance (I-IGT) represents a specific prediabetic state that typically requires a standardized oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for diagnosis. This study aims to predict glucose tolerance status in Chinese Ha...
BACKGROUND/ AIMS: The lack of context for anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) measurements impedes its clinical utility. We established the normative distribution of anterior chamber depth (ACD), area (ACA) and width (ACW) and lens ...
Insulin resistance (IR) is the core for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. The homeostasis assessment model is a straightforward and practical tool for quantifying insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Multiple adaptive regression spline (MARS) is a mac...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to establish an optimal model based on machine learning (ML) to predict Valproic acid (VPA) trough concentrations in Chinese adult epilepsy patients.

Inferring the ancestral origin of DNA evidence recovered from crime scenes is crucial in forensic investigations, especially in the absence of a direct suspect match. Ancestry informative markers (AIMs) have been widely researched and commercially de...
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a significant global health issue. Despite the advances in genome-wide association studies, a complete genetic and molecular understanding of MI is elusive and needs to be fully explored. This study aimed to elucidate th...
