	abstract = {Associations between dairy intake and body mass index (BMI) have been inconsistently observed in epidemiological studies, and the causal relationship remains ill defined.\ We performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using an established dairy intake-associated genetic polymorphism located upstream of the lactase gene (LCT-13910 C/T, rs4988235) as an instrumental variable (IV). Linear regression models were fitted to analyze associations between (a) dairy intake and BMI, (b) rs4988235 and dairy intake, and (c) rs4988235 and BMI in each study. The causal effect of dairy intake on BMI was quantified by IV estimators among 184802 participants from 25 studies.\ Higher dairy intake was associated with higher BMI ({\^I}{\texttwosuperior} = 0.03 kg/m2 per serving/day; 95\% CI, 0.00-0.06; P = 0.04), whereas the LCT genotype with 1 or 2 T allele was significantly associated with 0.20 (95\% CI, 0.14-0.25) serving/day higher dairy intake (P = 3.15 {\~A}{\textemdash} 10-12) and 0.12 (95\% CI, 0.06-0.17) kg/m2 higher BMI (P = 2.11 {\~A}{\textemdash} 10-5). MR analysis showed that the genetically determined higher dairy intake was significantly associated with higher BMI ({\^I}{\texttwosuperior} = 0.60 kg/m2 per serving/day; 95\% CI, 0.27-0.92; P = 3.0 {\~A}{\textemdash} 10-4).\ The present study provides strong evidence to support a causal effect of higher dairy intake on increased BMI among adults.},

	abstract = {There is debate about the optimum algorithm for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk estimation. We conducted head-to-head comparisons of four algorithms recommended by primary prevention guidelines, before and after {\textquoteright}recalibration{\textquoteright}, a method that adapts risk algorithms to take account of differences in the risk characteristics of the populations being studied.\ Using individual-participant data on 360 737 participants without CVD at baseline in 86 prospective studies from 22 countries, we compared the Framingham risk score (FRS), Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE), pooled cohort equations (PCE), and Reynolds risk score (RRS). We calculated measures of risk discrimination and calibration, and modelled clinical implications of initiating statin therapy in people judged to be at {\textquoteright}high{\textquoteright} 10 year CVD risk. Original risk algorithms were recalibrated using the risk factor profile and CVD incidence of target populations. The four algorithms had similar risk discrimination. Before recalibration, FRS, SCORE, and PCE over-predicted CVD risk on average by 10\%, 52\%, and 41\%, respectively, whereas RRS under-predicted by 10\%. Original versions of algorithms classified 29-39\% of individuals aged {\^a}{\textperthousand}{\textyen}40 years as high risk. By contrast, recalibration reduced this proportion to 22-24\% for every algorithm. We estimated that to prevent one CVD event, it would be necessary to initiate statin therapy in 44-51 such individuals using original algorithms, in contrast to 37-39 individuals with recalibrated algorithms.\ Before recalibration, the clinical performance of four widely used CVD risk algorithms varied substantially. By contrast, simple recalibration nearly equalized their performance and improved modelled targeting of preventive action to clinical need.},

	abstract = {Genetic studies of blood pressure (BP) to date have mainly analyzed common variants (minor allele frequency > 0.05). In a meta-analysis of up to  1.3 million participants, we discovered 106 new BP-associated genomic regions and 87 rare (minor allele frequency {\^a}{\textperthousand}¤ 0.01) variant BP associations (P < 5 {\~A}{\textemdash} 10-8), of which 32 were in new BP-associated loci and 55 were independent BP-associated single-nucleotide variants within known BP-associated regions. Average effects of rare variants (44\% coding) were  8 times larger than common variant effects and indicate potential candidate causal genes at new and known loci (for example, GATA5 and PLCB3). BP-associated variants (including rare and common) were enriched in regions of active chromatin in fetal tissues, potentially linking fetal development with BP regulation in later life. Multivariable Mendelian randomization suggested possible inverse effects of elevated systolic and diastolic BP on large artery stroke. Our study demonstrates the utility of rare-variant analyses for identifying candidate genes and the results highlight potential therapeutic targets.},
