How are gene-environment interactions between the polygenic risk score (PRS) for Parkinson disease (PD) and long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) associated with PD risk? jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… c/o @JAMA_current

A gene-environment interaction study, a combination of long-term air pollution exposure & genetic susceptibility "strongly contributed to the risk of developing #Parkinsons"; A meta-analytical assessment of studies conducted in central California & Denmark jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution and higher genetic susceptibility are associated with an increase risk in developing Parkinson disease. ja.ma/4ioVwi6

A study in @Nature_NPJ Parkinson's Disease reports that consuming a high-quality diet may help address the pro-inflammatory dysbiosis in Parkinson’s disease patients and possibly provide some protection against disease progression. go.nature.com/3UKf4EE

Excited to share that I've been selected as an Honorable Mention for the 2024 GeroScience Outstanding Publication Award! 🎉 A huge thank you to @Danbelsky for all the support. @GeroScienceAGE doi.org/10.1007/s11357…

How fun to be selected for the cover of the @HumBioAssoc journal! Super grateful to Prof @mollymfox @UCLA @DayoonKwon for incl me in their work on #pica among #Latina #women. The image is holy earth from Esquipulas, also used in the chapter headings of my book. #geophagy

New study from @DayoonKwon @mollyfox @ProfSeraYoung & colleagues finds that pica during pregnancy is associated with altered stress and immune responses among Latina women, revealing unique biological insights. #PregnancyHealth #Pica

New paper from @DayoonKwon @beate_ritz & colleagues examines associations between diet & gut microbiome composition in #Parkinsons; N=85 PD cases; Healthy diet associated with anti-inflammatory;⬆️added sugar intake associated with⬆️in pro-inflam. bacteria nature.com/articles/s4153…

Our recent study @HumBioAssoc explores how pica in Latina pregnant women relates to stress and immune markers. doi.org/10.1002/ajhb.2…

So grateful for @beate_ritz’s continued guidance and mentorship in getting this paper out!

Exciting News: A new paper on air pollution and Parkinson’s disease is now on Environmental Research. We found that long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution increased PD risk in central California. Air quality matters for brain health! 🧠💨🌎 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My first paper with @beate_ritz, “Diet quality and Parkinson’s disease: Potential strategies for non-motor symptom management” is out in @ParkinsonismD today! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S13…

@johnhemming4mp @mike_lustgarten The particular algorithms in the paper are essentially just examples.

@mike_lustgarten Hi @DayoonKwon Mike has pointed out your R package. Are there any issues (trying to) write a Web interface to it? I note the licence is GPL 3.0 which should mean it is ok.

@johnhemming4mp @mike_lustgarten Yes, there is no restriction on doing this. But my R package just republishes the algorithms originally published by Klemera & Doubal and Levine and allows users to apply those algorithms to biomarker sets and data of their choice.

A new paper I had the pleasure of working on ambient air pollution and KD with @SeungAh46695527 . Short-term exposure to PM2.5 and SO2 was positively associated with KD in children <5 years in South Korea.

How fast are we aging? How can we change environment and behavior to slow aging and increase healthspan? We built a new tool to find out: DunedinPACE is a DNA methylation blood test of the Pace of Aging. Paper online @elife elifesciences.org/articles/73420 @cuepidemiology @columbiaaging

My paper with @Danbelsky is now up on GeroScience! We developed the R package, BioAge, that allows users to develop and implement biological age measures based on three published methods. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
