The mediating role of accelerated biological aging in the association between household air pollution from solid cooking fuels and neuropsychiatric disorders by Rui Tang, Haisheng Wu, Ling Jiang, Jie Zhou, Xia Gao, Jiazhen Zheng, Ya-Ping Tang, Mingxi Tang

“…Results: Compared to consistent use of cleaner fuels, consistent solid fuel use was associated with a 0.12 (95 % CI: 0.05, 0.18) year increase in KDM-BAA, a 25 % higher risk of neurological disease (HR = 1.25, 95 % CI: 1.03, 1.54), and a 34 % increased risk of psychiatric disorders (HR = 1.34, 95 % CI: 1.02, 1.78). Mediation analysis revealed that KDM-BAA significantly mediated the association between solid cooking fuel and neuropsychiatric diseases, with mediated proportions of 5.96 % (P = 0.006) for neurological disease and 5.71 % (P = 0.024) for psychiatric disease. …”

Psychiatric comorbidities in epilepsy: population co-occurrence, genetic correlations and causal effects by Neil M Davies, Dheeraj Rai, Harriet Forbes, Christina Dalman, Torbjörn Tomson, Daniel Berglind, Michael Lundberg, Cecilia Magnusson, Craig Newschaffer, Brian K Lee, Viktor H Ahlqvist, Paul Madley-Dowd, Christina Dardani, Jessica Rast, Caichen Zhong, Renee M Gardner, Kristen Lyall

“…Reasons for the co-occurrence of psychiatric conditions and epilepsy remain poorly understood.Aim We aimed to triangulate the relationship between epilepsy and psychiatric conditions to determine the extent and possible origins of these conditions.Methods Using nationwide Swedish health registries, we quantified the lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders in patients with epilepsy. We then used summary data from genome-wide association studies to investigate whether the identified observational associations could be attributed to a shared underlying genetic aetiology using cross-trait linkage disequilibrium score regression. …”
