Does the choice of Allostatic Load scoring algorithm matter for predicting age-related health outcomes?
(2020)Allostatic Load (AL) is posited to provide a measure of cumulative physiological dysregulation across multiple biological systems and demonstrates promise as a sub-clinical marker of overall health. Despite the large ... -
How does socio-economic position (SEP) get biologically embedded? A comparison of allostatic load and the epigenetic clock(s)
(Elsevier, 2019)Individuals of lower socio-economic position (SEP) carry a heavier burden of disease and morbidity and live shorter lives on average compared with their more advantaged counterparts. This has sparked research interest in ... -
Impaired orthostatic heart rate recovery is associated with smaller thalamic volume: Results from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Aging (TILDA)
(Wiley, 2020)The thalamus is a central hub of the autonomic network and thalamic volume has been associated with high‐risk phenotypes for sudden cardiac death. Heart rate response to physiological stressors (e.g., standing) and the ... -
Maternal educational inequalities in measured body mass index trajectories in three European countries
(2019)Background: Social inequalities in the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity are well‐established, but less is known about when the social gradient first emerges and how it evolves across childhood and ... -

(Elsevier BV, 2020)Background: This study aimed to examine associations of personality with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and physical activity (PA), PA with GAD, and PA mediates associations between personality and incident GAD. Methods: ... -
Socioeconomic position, lifestyle habits and biomarkers of epigenetic aging: a multi-cohort analysis.
(2019)Differences in health status by socioeconomic position (SEP) tend to be more evident at older ages, suggesting the involvement of a biological mechanism responsive to the accumulation of deleterious exposures across the ...
