Longitudinal stability of genetic and environmental influences on the association between diurnal preference and sleep quality in young adult twins and siblings by Barclay, N, Rowe, R, O'Leary, R, Bream, D, Gregory, A

“…Our overall aim was to examine overlapping concurrent and longitudinal genetic and environmental effects on diurnal preference and sleep quality over ~5 years. Behavioral genetic analyses were performed on data from the longitudinal British G1219 study of young adult twins and nontwin siblings. …”

Genetic confounding in the association of early motor development with childhood and adolescent exercise behavior by Yahua Zi, Meike Bartels, Conor Dolan, Eco J.C. de Geus

“…Results Significant heritability (h2) and shared environmental (c2) effects were found for early motor development in boys and girls (h2 = 43-65%; c2 = 16-48%). For exercise behavior, genetic influences increased with age (boys: h2 age7 = 22% to h2 age14 = 51%; girls: h2 age7 = 3% to h2 age14 = 18%) paired to a parallel decrease in the influence of the shared environment (boys: c2 age7 = 68% to c2 age14 = 19%; girls: c2 age7 = 80% to c2 age14 = 48%). …”

Causal relationship between obesity, lifestyle factors and risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia: a univariable and multivariable Mendelian randomization study by Yong-Bo Wang, Lan Yang, Yu-Qing Deng, Si-Yu Yan, Li-Sha Luo, Ping Chen, Xian-Tao Zeng

“…Results The combined odds ratios (ORs) of BPH were 1.24 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07–1.43, P = 0.0045), 1.08 (95% CI 1.01–1.17, P = 0.0175), 0.94 (95% CI 0.67–1.30, P = 0.6891), 1.29 (95% CI 0.88–1.89, P = 0.1922), 1.23 (95% CI 0.85–1.78, P = 0.2623), and 1.04 (95% CI 0.76–1.42, P = 0.8165) for one standard deviation (SD) increase in waist circumference, BMI, and relative carbohydrate, fat, protein and sugar intake, 1.05 (95% CI 0.92–1.20, P = 0.4581) for one SD increase in prevalence of smoking initiation, 1.10 (95% CI 0.96–1.26, P = 0.1725) and 0.84 (95% CI 0.69–1.02, P = 0.0741) for one SD increase of log-transformed smoking per day and drinks per week, and 1.31 (95% CI 1.08–1.58, P = 0.0051) for one SD increase in sedentary behavior. Genetically predicted waist circumference (OR = 1.26, 95% CI 1.11–1.43, P = 0.0004) and sedentary behavior (OR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.05–1.23, P = 0.0021) were associated with BPH after the adjustment of BMI. …”
