Different GWAS results using LIFE Adult and LIFE Heart data are presented (Publication, Supplemental Data, & Summary Statistics).

Stratification of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) based on HPV16 DNA and RNA status

We defined six operationalizations of CPB considering plaques in common carotid arteries, carotid bulb, and internal carotid arteries (maximal plaque area, mean plaque area, sum of plaque areas at all six regions, maximal degree of stenosis, mean degree of stenosis, and sum of stenosis at all six regions).
Link to publication (PMID, DOI), Supplemental Figures and Tables, and Summary Statistics of GWAS will be made available upon acceptance of our manuscript.

Supplement Data for Publication including Supplement Material & Results (eQTL annotation, Mendelian Randomization (MR), further significant loci), Figures (correlation plot of steroid hormones, scatter plot of genetic effect sizes, regional association plots, scatter plots of MR) and Tables (Correlations, GWAS summary statistics, interaction tests, MR results)

Stratification of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) based on HPV16 DNA and RNA status

We are releasing the summary data from our meta-analyses of steroid hormones, to empower other researchers to examine variants or loci in which they are interested for association with these hormonal traits. These data are intended for research purposes only.

The primary goal of this study was to identify genetic loci associated with steroid hormone levels (cortisol, DHEA-S, testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, androstenedione, and aldosterone). In a secondary analysis, we searched for causal effects of steroid hormones on coronary artery disease.

OBJECTIVES: Although patients with depression often suffer from sleep disturbances, most of them are not sleepy. Upregulation of brain arousal has been proposed as pathophysiological mechanism explaining sleep disturbances, inner tension, autonomic hyperarousal and anhedonia in depression. The aim of the current study was to examine the association between night-time sleep disturbances and brain arousal regulation the next day in depressed versus non-depressed subjects. METHODS: Twenty-eight

The goal of this study was to investigate to what extent body mass index (BMI), body height, body
weight, breast-to-abdomen-ratio, testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S), folliclestimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone are associated with the sound pressure level and the fundamental frequency of the speaking voice in a cross-sectional approach among adults in the general population.

Our first objective was to compare the molecular features of subgroups of HNSCC defined by their HPV16 DNA and RNA status. The second objective was to identify gene expression subtypes in HNSCC and to correlate them with other characteristics of the patients.

HPV DNA and RNA status, mutations of 50 genes, survival and other clinical characteristics of 270 patients with head and neck cancer.

Emerging health geography research analyzes and visualizes health behaviors and outcomes in relation to urban environmental data and related official statistics to produce “health reports” for specific areas. This can be extended to developments in urban planning, e.g., to identify districts or neighborhoods for social investments or restrictions.

We mapped anthropometric data the large LIFE Adult population (10,000 participants) onto the Leipzig map. In particular, we derived the body mass index

All studies and research projects those data are hosted by the Leipzig Health Atlas should follow the FAIR standard. Thus, data are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. To follow the FAIS standard, all data need to be described by rich metadata, on the technical and semantical level. These metadata can then be used to query and search for data elements in a single study or over all studies.

We provide the LHA data portal allowing to searching and accessing data elements in single

Large scale epidemiological studies, such as LIFE-ADULT, including thousands of participants with a multitude of novel QT assessments allow to define reference values. Reference values are typically used in quality control to find outliers in a specified data volume or to evaluate a given measurement value regarding its pathologic value. Measuring the hand grip strength is a standard assessment in LIFE, for which is no or little prior knowledge regarding reference values available.

Based on the

We mapped measured hand grip data of the large LIFE Adult population (10,000 participants) onto the Leipzig map. In particular, we locate each participant at the time of participation in Leipzig and, thus, can derive hand grip strength averages (incl. mean, median) per specific city districts.
