The age at which the #menopause starts is not linked to conventional cardiovascular disease risk factors, suggests new research published in the journal Heart_BMJ - read the full study ow.ly/jzYo50ysvfa + linked editorial ow.ly/EClz50ysvf6

Body fat influences CVD, but it’s hard to modify. What if we focus more on muscle? How might benefits compare? Some surprising new findings: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Thanks to Elizabeth Blackwell Institute Children of the 90s george davey smith Linda O' Keeffe Kaitlin Hazel Wade (she/her) Michael V Holmes (he/him) Nicholas Timpson Emma Vincent

Seeing many medic tweets bemoaning the lack of public health specialists in Irl; this is blamed on lack of route to 'consultant' status. What about considering, e.g., UK model, where 'public health consultant' role exists but is open up to non-medics with appropriate post-grad..?

REMINDER: Closing date for 2 Postdocs, 1 PhD and 1 MSc by Research with Andrew Simpkin and I is fast approaching. Get your applications in by noon on the 30th Sept!

Just out! We used a life course metabolomics approach to see what underpins higher CVD rates in men. This covers 4 life stages across 2 generations of Children of the 90s, including puberty & menopause transitions. All in all: I’d keep a close eye on those rising VLDLs (& shrinking LDLs?)

Many thanks to Children of the 90s Linda O' Keeffe george davey smith @DeborahLawlor2 @abifraser1 @laurahowe_epi Ana Goncalves Soares & others in MRC IEU Elizabeth Blackwell Institute. This also shows the value of repeat NMR measures from Nightingale Health. And how ‘simple’ research questions are anything but!

Well done Lisa and the rest of the Cork, London & Bristol team! Gillian Maher @abifraser1 @laurahowe_epi Chloe Park 💙 @mccarthyfergus Prof Trish Kearney

Have we been underestimating the metabolic harms of abdominal fat? Pleased to share our findings based on new UK Biobank NMR metabolic data: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… A 5-fold increase in sample size over previous studies, & a few surprises!

Detailed metabolic data finally exist at large scale. And soon to be 500k! Lots to discover. Many thanks to UK Biobank Nightingale Health, & george davey smith Michael V Holmes (he/him) @PeterWyrtz Tom Richardson Qin Wang Eleanor Sanderson Venexia Walker Linda O' Keeffe Nicholas Timpson MRC IEU Happy scrolling.

No ifs, No buts, No maybes. Green minister Malcolm Noonan MUST ensure there is funding for Biodiversity Officers in Carlow& Kilkenny. We are in the middle of a Biodiversity Crisis! Tax the 100 corporations responsible for 71% of emissions to fund a #JustTransition #ClimateChange

👏Thanks Darren for saying the things that many of us (including me) are afraid to!
