It's been a cool time for combining #wearable with UK #biobank data for some interesting results: e.g. assessing the contribution of exercise vs genetic contribution in #diabetes https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2023/06/05/bjsports-2022-106653

Ageing body scans to aid understanding of why diseases occur

'The world's biggest human imaging project is set to rescan the brains and bodies of 60,000 UK volunteers to find new ways of treating and preventing disease.
By looking at how bodies age, the study could help predict those more likely to develop dementia or different cancers'

@anarchodelphis thanks
Yes i think the entry criterion was an inpatient event.

The kind of thing that only a specialist would call "mild"!

Hope they get the next study out quickly. It looks like #biobank has set up a great research infrastructure

@anarchodelphis i think "mild" is defined here as "hospitalised, just not one of the really really bad cases", so we'll have to await to learn the outcome for us vaccinated folk who had a few weeks being miserable & sick in our own homes

Mean age - about 66

CVD risk remained high for 18 months; other risks reverted faster towards pre-infection levels

Historical control cohort excluded potential effect of over-loaded health system

Nice study design all round.  #Biobank is to #epidemiology as #palomar was to #astonomy​

Does anyone know where to find latest results from analyzing the #Iceland #genetic #biobank ? It covers the whole population!

A new study, the largest of its kind, found that people living in polluted areas were more likely to have more than one long-term #illness.
Researchers looked at more than 360,000 people aged between 40 and 69 who had #health data in the #UK #Biobank. They found greater chances of multiple neurological, respiratory, cardiovascular and common mental health conditions such as #depression and #anxiety, thx to #pollution #fossilfuels
