Numerical variations and transitional anatomy in the human vertebral column represent a significant yet understudied aspect of skeletal development with potential effects on multiple physiological systems. Utilising UK Biobank data, we integrated gen...
BACKGROUND: In order to seriously impact the global burden of heart failure (HF) and coronary artery disease (CAD), identifying at-risk individuals as early as possible is vital. Risk calculator tools in wide clinical use today are informed by tradit...
Understanding how risk factors interact to jointly influence disease risk can provide insights into disease development and improve risk prediction. Here we introduce survivalFM, a machine learning extension to the widely used Cox proportional hazard...
Plasma proteomics provides a unique opportunity to enhance disease prediction by capturing protein expression patterns linked to diverse pathological processes. Leveraging data from 2,923 proteins measured in 53,030 UK Biobank participants, we develo...
AIMS: Severe liver disease (SLD) in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is often diagnosed late due to the long asymptomatic period of progressive fibrosis. We aimed to identify metabolomic profiles associated with SLD and develop a predictive m...
BACKGROUND: Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is generally thought to be neuroprotective, yet results have been inconsistent. Here, we present a comprehensive study of MHT use and brain characteristics in females from the UK Biobank.

Vitamin D (VD) is involved in a wide variety of physiological processes. The high prevalence of VD deficiency in the population requires stronger preventive measures. The aim was to characterize the dietary and lifestyle determinants of VD levels in ...
BACKGROUND: The atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is associated with dementia. However, the risk factors of dementia in patients with ASCVD remain unclear, necessitating the development of accurate prediction models.
In this study, we present a comprehensive pipeline to train and compare a broad spectrum of machine learning and deep learning brain clocks, integrating diverse preprocessing strategies and correction terms. Our analysis also includes established met...
Bone marrow adipose tissue is a distinct adipose subtype comprising more than 10% of fat mass in healthy humans. However, the functions and pathophysiological correlates of this tissue are unclear, and its genetic determinants remain unknown. Here, w...
