Given the anthropometric differences between men and women and previous evidence of
sex-difference in genetic effects, we conducted a genome-wide search for sexually …

Observational studies have suggested anthropometric traits, particularly increased height
are associated with an elevated risk of testicular cancer (testicular germ cell tumour) …

Background Effective prevention of type 2 diabetes (T2D) requires early identification of high-
risk individuals who might benefit from intervention. We sought to determine whether low …

Background. The strength of associations between total testosterone (TT) and metabolic
parameters may vary in different nature of population structure; however, no study has ever …

Sex hormones are hypothesized to drive sex-specific health disparities. Here, we study the
association between sex steroid hormones and DNA methylation-based (DNAm) biomarkers …

TESTOSTERONE AND THE METABOLIC SYNDROME 207 of the syndrome conveys a
significantly increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease, hence …

Background Low socio-economic position (SEP) is a risk factor for multiple health outcomes,
but its molecular imprints in the body remain unclear. Methods We examined SEP as a …

Serum biomarker levels are associated with the risk of complex diseases. Here, we aimed to
gain insights into the genetic architecture of biomarker traits which can reflect health status …

Low testosterone levels are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease;
however, most previous studies assessed the relationship of testosterone levels with a …

Background Lower testosterone levels in men have been consistently associated with
metabolic abnormalities, particularly obesity. This study aims to investigate the relationship …
