Gene-obesogenic environment interactions in the UK Biobank study.

  • Jessica Tyrrell‎ et al.
  • International journal of epidemiology‎
  • 2017‎

Previous studies have suggested that modern obesogenic environments accentuate the genetic risk of obesity. However, these studies have proven controversial as to which, if any, measures of the environment accentuate genetic susceptibility to high body mass index (BMI).


Simulated distributions from negative experiments highlight the importance of the body mass index distribution in explaining depression-body mass index genetic risk score interactions.

  • Francesco Casanova‎ et al.
  • International journal of epidemiology‎
  • 2022‎

Depression and obesity are complex global health problems. Recent studies suggest that a genetic predisposition to obesity might be accentuated in people with depression, but these analyses are prone to bias. Here, we tested the hypothesis that depression accentuates genetic susceptibility to obesity and applied negative control experiments to test whether any observed interactions were real or driven by confounding and statistical biases.


Using genetics to understand the causal influence of higher BMI on depression.

  • Jessica Tyrrell‎ et al.
  • International journal of epidemiology‎
  • 2019‎

Depression is more common in obese than non-obese individuals, especially in women, but the causal relationship between obesity and depression is complex and uncertain. Previous studies have used genetic variants associated with BMI to provide evidence that higher body mass index (BMI) causes depression, but have not tested whether this relationship is driven by the metabolic consequences of BMI nor for differences between men and women.


Is disrupted sleep a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease? Evidence from a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis.

  • Emma L Anderson‎ et al.
  • International journal of epidemiology‎
  • 2021‎

It is established that Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients experience sleep disruption. However, it remains unknown whether disruption in the quantity, quality or timing of sleep is a risk factor for the onset of AD.


Mediation and moderation of genetic risk of obesity through eating behaviours in two UK cohorts.

  • Shahina Begum‎ et al.
  • International journal of epidemiology‎
  • 2023‎

The mechanisms underlying genetic predisposition to higher body mass index (BMI) remain unclear.


Genetic variation at CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 interacts with smoking status to influence body mass index.

  • Rachel M Freathy‎ et al.
  • International journal of epidemiology‎
  • 2011‎

Cigarette smoking is associated with lower body mass index (BMI), and a commonly cited reason for unwillingness to quit smoking is a concern about weight gain. Common variation in the CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 gene region (chromosome 15q25) is robustly associated with smoking quantity in smokers, but its association with BMI is unknown. We hypothesized that genotype would accurately reflect smoking exposure and that, if smoking were causally related to weight, it would be associated with BMI in smokers, but not in never smokers.


Hyperglycaemia is a causal risk factor for upper limb pathologies.

  • Harry D Green‎ et al.
  • International journal of epidemiology‎
  • 2024‎

Diabetes (regardless of type) and obesity are associated with a range of musculoskeletal disorders. The causal mechanisms driving these associations are unknown for many upper limb pathologies. We used genetic techniques to test the causal link between glycemia, obesity and musculoskeletal conditions.
