Summary statistics of Meta-GWAS of odour identification.

A meta-analysis of genome-wide associations for serum vaspin from six independent cohorts (N = 7446) was conducted. The data show that serum vaspin is strongly determined by genetic variants within vaspin.

This study belongs to the publication: https://doi.org/10.1002/oby.23882

Summary statistics of Meta-GWAS results will be made available upon acceptance of our manuscript.

In our manuscript, we describe current procedures, tools, and results to create, compare and qualitatively assess the single-cell transcriptomes of the lung in three different species; human (Homo sapiens), hamster (Mesocricetus auratus), and mice (Mus musculus). We make the analysis reproducible by publishing the R-based workflow on GitHub pulmonologists_interspecies_scRNA. Here in the LHA, we provide the required scRNA-Seq ...

Genome-wide Association Meta-Analyses of four steroid hormones (progesterone, 17-OH-progesterone, androstenedione, and aldosterone) and the ratio of testosterone to estradiol. Summary statistics of GWAMA results will be made available upon acceptance of our manuscript.

Genome-wide Association Meta-Analyses of 32 phytosterol traits reflecting resorption, cholesterol synthesis and esterification in six studies with up to 9,758 subjects Summary statistics of GWAMA results will be made available upon acceptance of our manuscript.

We analysed if measuring PWV in different segments of the body leads to association with different genetic variants, as well as different heritability and different genetic correlation with other biological traits. Furthermore we searched for shared genetic architecture concerning PWV, blood pressure (BP) and coronary artery disease (CAD) and examined the causal relationship between PWV and BP.

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.

BACKGROUND: The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scales GAD-7 and GAD-2 are instruments for the assessment of anxiety. The aims of this study are to test psychometric properties of these questionnaires, to provide normative values, and to investigate associations with sociodemographic factors, quality of life, psychological variables, and behavioral factors. METHODS: A German community sample (n=9721) with an age range of 18-80 years was surveyed using the GAD-7 and several other questionnaires. ...

BACKGROUND: The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is frequently used to assess sleep problems in patients. The aim of this study was to provide reference values for this questionnaire, to test psychometric properties, and to analyze associations with psychological, sociodemographic, and behavioral factors. METHODS: A German community sample comprising 9284 adult residents (aged 18-80 years) was surveyed using the PSQI and several other questionnaires. RESULTS: According to the generally ...

Background/Objective: The Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) is often used to assess dispositional optimism. The aims of this study were to test psychometric properties of the LOT-R, to provide normative scores, and to test the association between optimism and several psychological, sociodemographic, and behavioral factors. Method: A randomly selected German general population community sample with an age range of 18-80 years (N = 9,711) was surveyed. Results: The Confirmatory Factor Analysis ...

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.

PURPOSE: The Sniffin' Sticks Screening 12 test is a test of olfactory performance based on pen-like odor dispensing devices. The aims of this study were to analyze the performance of this test in a general population sample and to explore associations between olfactory dysfunction and quality of life. METHODS: A large community sample (n = 7267) completed the Sniffin' Sticks Screening 12 test and several questionnaires measuring quality of life, anxiety, dispositional optimism, social support, ...

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 ...

This package should simplify the translation of the classifications reported in Wichmann et al. 2015 to other data sets of head and neck cancers.

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 FAIR 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 ...

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. ...

The LHA Body typer is an interactive app that enables interested users to determine their body type by manual measuring of few body lengths and girths. Additionally, data derived from body scanner devices can be uploaded for automatic body type annotation with regard to the body shapes identified in the Leipzig population.
