      Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are associated with negative health effects, and exposure during fetal life and infancy are of concern. A subgroup of PFAS, linear and branched perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids (PFSA), have significant differences in biochemical reactions, bioaccumulation and potential toxic exposure effects, and data on transfer of PFSA isomers from mother to ...

However, contrary to what is found in most other populations, the risk is greater among women than men. The reasons for this are unclear.<br><br> <i>Research design and methods</i> - Prevalence and risk factors for diabetes at ages 40–69 years were compared in two population-based ...

    • Why does Russia have such high cardiovascular mortality rates? Comparisons of blood-based biomarkers with Norway implicate non-ischaemic cardiac damage 

      Iakunchykova, Olena; Averina, Maria; Wilsgaard, Tom; Watkins, Hugh; Malyutina, Sofia; Ragino, Yulia; Keogh, Ruth; Kudryavtsev, Alexander V; Govorun, Vadim; Cook, Sarah Anne; Schirmer, Henrik; Eggen, Anne Elise; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Leon, David Adrew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-15)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Russia has one of the highest rates of mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD). At age 35–69 years, they are eight times higher than in neighbouring Norway. Comparing profiles of blood-based CVD biomarkers between these two populations can help identify reasons for this substantial difference in risk. <p><i>Methods - </i>We compared age-standardised mean levels of CVD ...
