      <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 ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-30)
      BACKGROUND<br> Epidemiological studies show that high circulating cystatin C is associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), independent of creatinine-based renal function measurements. It is unclear whether this relationship is causal, arises from residual confounding, and/or is a consequence of reverse causation.<br> OBJECTIVES<br>The aim of this study was to use Mendelian randomization ...

      Conventional measurements of fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels investigated in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) cannot capture the effects of DNA variability on ‘around the clock’ glucoregulatory processes. Here we show that GWAS meta-analysis of glucose measurements under nonstandardized conditions (random glucose (RG)) in 476,326 individuals of diverse ancestries and without ...

    • Vitamin D in relation to incident sarcopenia and changes in muscle parameters among older adults: The KORA-Age Study 

      Conzade, Romy; Grill, Eva; Bischoff-Ferrari, Heike A.; Ferrari, Uta; Horsch, Alexander; Peters, Annette; Thorand, Barbara (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-08)
      Summary We report low baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels being associated with unfavorable changes in muscle mass and physical performance over three years, but not with incident sarcopenia. Future prospective studies are needed to assess causality and to address the issue of competing risks such as mortality in older cohorts. Introduction Effects of low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) ...
