To identify genetic variants associated with head circumference in infancy, we performed a
meta-analysis of seven genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (N = 10,768 individuals of …

Birth weight within the normal range is associated with a variety of adult-onset diseases, but
the mechanisms behind these associations are poorly understood 1 . Previous genome-…

Birth weight variation is influenced by fetal and maternal genetic and non-genetic factors,
and has been reproducibly associated with future cardio-metabolic health outcomes. In …

We carried out a trans-ancestry genome-wide association and replication study of blood
pressure phenotypes among up to 320,251 individuals of East Asian, European and South …

Importance Childhood and adolescence self-regulation (SR) is gaining importance as a
target of intervention because of mounting evidence of its positive associations with health, …

Importance Neonates born to overweight or obese women are larger and at higher risk of
birth complications. Many maternal obesity-related traits are observationally associated with …

Objectives To compare the odds of depression in obese and overweight children with that in
normal-weight children in the community. Design Systematic review and random-effect meta…

The pubertal height growth spurt is a distinctive feature of childhood growth reflecting both
the central onset of puberty and local growth factors. Although little is known about the …

Genome-wide association studies of birth weight have focused on fetal genetics, whereas
relatively little is known about the role of maternal genetic variation. We aimed to identify …

Objectives Prevention of obesity should start as early as possible after birth. We aimed to
build clinically useful equations estimating the risk of later obesity in newborns, as a first step …
