      <i>Background</i> - The relevance of blood lipid concentrations to long-term incidence of cardiovascular disease and the relevance of lipid-lowering therapy for cardiovascular disease outcomes is unclear. We investigated the cardiovascular disease risk associated with the full spectrum of bloodstream non-HDL cholesterol concentrations. We also created an easy-to-use tool to estimate the long-term ...
    • Associations between Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Cognitive Function in Australian Urban Settings: The Moderating Role of Diabetes Status 

      Tham, Rachel; Wheeler, Amanda J.; Carver, Alison; Dunstan, David; Donaire-Gonzalez, David; Anstey, Kaarin J.; Shaw, Jonathan E.; Magliano, Dianna J.; Martino, Erika; Barnett, Anthony; Cerin, Ester (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-27)
      Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is associated with lower cognitive function and diabetes in older adults, but little is known about whether diabetes status moderates the impact of TRAP on older adult cognitive function. We analysed cross-sectional data from 4141 adults who participated in the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle (AusDiab) study in 2011–2012. TRAP exposure was estimated ...
    • Characteristics of urban neighbourhood environments and cognitive age in mid-age and older adults 

      Soloveva, Maria V.; Poudel, Govinda; Barnett, Anthony; Shaw, Jonathan E.; Martino, Erika; Knibbs, Luke D.; Anstey, Kaarin J.; Cerin, Ester (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-12)
      In this cross-sectional study, we examined the extent to which features of the neighbourhood natural, built, and socio-economic environments were related to cognitive age in adults (N = 3418, Mage = 61 years) in Australia. Machine learning estimated an individual's cognitive age from assessments of processing speed, verbal memory, premorbid intelligence. A ’cognitive age gap’ was calculated by ...
    • Do neighbourhood traffic-related air pollution and socio-economic status moderate the associations of the neighbourhood physical environment with cognitive function? Findings from the AusDiab study 

      Cerin, Ester; Barnett, Anthony; Wu, Yu-Tzu; Martino, Erika; Shaw, Jonathan E.; Knibbs, Luke D.; Poudel, Govinda; Jalaludin, Bin; Anstey, Kaarin J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-08)
      Characteristics of the neighbourhood environment, including the built and natural environment, area-level socio-economic status (SES) and air pollution, have been linked to cognitive health. However, most studies have focused on single neighbourhood characteristics and have not considered the extent to which the effects of environmental factors may interact. We examined the associations of measures ...
    • From urban neighbourhood environments to cognitive health: a cross-sectional analysis of the role of physical activity and sedentary behaviours 

      Cerin, Ester; Barnett, Anthony; Shaw, Jonathan E.; Martino, Erika; Knibbs, Luke D.; Tham, Rachel; Wheeler, Amanda J.; Anstey, Kaarin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-23)
      <p><b>Background: </b> There is a dearth of studies on the effects of the neighbourhood environment on adults’ cognitive function. We examined how interrelated aspects of the built and natural neighbourhood environment, including air pollution, correlate with adults’ cognitive function, and the roles of physical activity and sedentary behaviours in these associations. <p><b>Methods:</b> We used ...

Goya; Watanabe, Masafumi; Wild, Philipp S.; Yao, Yao; Zeng, Yi; Ziegler, Andreas; Blankenberg, Stefan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      BACKGROUND - Five modifiable risk factors are associated with cardiovascular disease and death from any cause. Studies using individual-level data to evaluate the regional and sex-specific prevalence of the risk factors and their effect on these outcomes are lacking.<p> <p>METHODS - We pooled and harmonized individual-level data from 112 cohort studies conducted in 34 countries and 8 geographic ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-07)
      The association between fish consumption and new-onset type 2 diabetes is inconsistent and differs according to geographical location. We examined the association between the total and types of fish consumption and type 2 diabetes using individual participant data from 28 prospective cohort studies from the Americas (6), Europe (15), the Western Pacific (6), and the Eastern Mediterranean (1) comprising ...
    • The neighbourhood environment and profiles of the metabolic syndrome

      <p><b> Background</b> There is a dearth of studies on how neighbourhood environmental attributes relate to the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and profiles of MetS components. We examined the associations of interrelated aspects of the neighbourhood environment, including air pollution, with MetS status and profiles of MetS components. <p><b> Methods</b> We used socio-demographic and MetS-related ...

      <p><i>Background - </i>Low-risk limits recommended for alcohol consumption vary substantially across different national guidelines. To define thresholds associated with lowest risk for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease, we studied individual-participant data from 599 912 current drinkers without previous cardiovascular disease. <p><i>Methods - </i>We did a combined analysis of ...
    • Urban Neighbourhood Environments, Cardiometabolic Health and Cognitive Function: A National Cross-Sectional Study of Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Australia 

      Cerin, Ester; Barnett, Anthony; Shaw, Jonathan E.; Martino, Erika; Knibbs, Luke D.; Tham, Rachel; Wheeler, Amanda J.; Anstey, Kaarin J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-07)
      Population ageing and urbanisation are global phenomena that call for an understanding of the impacts of features of the urban environment on older adults’ cognitive function. Because neighbourhood characteristics that can potentially have opposite effects on cognitive function are interdependent, they need to be considered in conjunction. Using data from an Australian national sample of 4141 adult ...
