Curious why statisticians recommend including the outcome in your imputation models? Check out our new paper in Statistical Methods in Medical Research! Sarah Lotspeich (She/Her), Staci Hepler, and I show with some simple mathematical derivations why this is really a requirement!

I really like this piece by the Provost of UCL. To me, it's a great vision of what Universities should be. 6/ ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/mar/….

I have just created a short blog titled 'Tackling an Epidemic of Sedentary Behaviour: Data Driven Solutions'. Link here: link.medium.com/6b2bI9dWtJb. This will be part of a blog series - stay tuned for the follow up!

Over the past 30 years many, including me, have drawn attention to the loss of precision in the awful habit of dichotomising continuous data. I suspect that the criticism is much older. I would be grateful for early references. #historyofstatistics

New study published: we looked at whether weight velocity has any values, in addition to attained weight, to identify subsequent wasting, stunting, and mortality in children in Malawi, South Africa, and Pakistan sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Fanny Petermann

Well done to our wonderful PhD students who presented at our Public Health Meeting this week 👏 can’t wait to see future results! @petermacp JillPell Fred Ho Dr Claire E Hastie @don_sci

Our team, led by Fanny Petermann and Fred Ho, has just published a study in Nature Communications exploring how diet affects the relationship between alcohol consumption and the risk of severe alcohol-related liver disease. Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Great study lead by Fred Ho looked into factors contributing to the association between deprivation and infant death. Targeting moderating factors may mitigate some the effects but will not stem the rise in infant mortality. #heathinequalities sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

England and Wales had the 10th highest #InfantMortality rate in 38 OECD countries (2021). A new study led by Fred Ho identifies 4 key factors linked to higher infant mortality rates in deprived areas of England. 👇 gla.ac.uk/news/headline_… 1/3

The number of important routine health measurements – particularly blood pressure checks - taking place since the pandemic has substantially reduced in England, with implications for missed diagnosis and increased health inequalities. Read more➡️ gla.ac.uk/news/headline_…

New study in #BMCMedicine by Nakada S. et all University of Glasgow shows that genetic susceptibility for Cardiovascular Disease #CAD doesn't explain the clustering with #AnxietyDisorder and only partly explains clustering with #Depression. bit.ly/4hxHhHF Fred Ho JillPell

#grok3's answer to a causal epi question. It did what I asked it to do quite well, and it acknowledged the lack of data. Some logic doesn't seem right though (eg assuming neurodevelopmental conditions' confounding is due to genetic predisposition to CVD) x.com/i/grok/share/B…

New study by UofG School of Health & Wellbeing and UofG SCMH finds overall declines in most types of cardiovascular disease in the west of Scotland. But the rates of heart failure, stroke and peripheral artery diseases have increased among those aged 51–64 years. More 👉openheart.bmj.com/content/12/1/e…
