Proteomic associations with fluctuation and long-term changes in BMI: A 40-year follow-up study
Obeso A, Drouard G, Palviainen T, Wang X, Ollikainen M, Silventoinen K, et al.
medRxiv . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39974069
Introduction: While some studies have explored associations between weight change and blood proteins, most have been intervention-based, offering limited insight into proteomic associations with long-term weight gain. It remains unclear...

The associations of long-term physical activity in adulthood with later biological ageing and all-cause mortality - a prospective twin study
Kankaanpaa A, Tolvanen A, Joensuu L, Waller K, Heikkinen A, Kaprio J, et al.
Eur J Epidemiol . 2025 Jan; 40(1):107-122. PMID: 39821867
Objectives: The association between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and a lower risk of mortality is susceptible to bias from multiple sources. We investigated the potential of biological ageing to mediate...

Glycemic control in women with GDM: insights from a randomized controlled pilot trial on plant-based Nordic healthy diet versus moderately carbohydrate restricted diet
Markussen L, Kivela J, Lindstrom J, Ollikainen M, Kyto M, Heinonen S, et al.
BMC Nutr . 2025 Jan; 11(1):12. PMID: 39815337
Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) prevalence is rising worldwide, but optimal dietary strategies remain unclear. The eMOM pilot RCT compared a plant-protein rich Healthy Nordic Diet (HND) and a moderately...

Suboptimal dietary patterns are associated with accelerated biological aging in young adulthood: A study with twins
Ravi S, Kankaanpaa A, Bogl L, Heikkinen A, Pietilainen K, Kaprio J, et al.
Clin Nutr . 2024 Dec; 45:10-21. PMID: 39731880
Background & Aims: Suboptimal diets increase morbidity and mortality risk. Epigenetic clocks are algorithms that can assess health and lifespan, even at a young age, before clinical manifestations of diseases....

Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analyses in Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins
Hubers N, Drouard G, Jansen R, Pool R, Hottenga J, Ollikainen M, et al.
Am J Med Genet A . 2024 Dec; 197(4):e63971. PMID: 39676692
Monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins are studied to understand genetic and environmental influences on complex traits, however the mechanisms behind twinning are not completely understood. (Epi)genomic studies identified SNPs...

Pre-diagnosis blood DNA methylation profiling of twin pairs discordant for breast cancer points to the importance of environmental risk factors
Bode H, He L, Hjelmborg J, Kaprio J, Ollikainen M
Clin Epigenetics . 2024 Nov; 16(1):160. PMID: 39558433
Background: Assessment of breast cancer (BC) risk generally relies on mammography, family history, reproductive history, and genotyping of major mutations. However, assessing the impact of environmental factors, such as lifestyle,...

Lifestyle differences between co-twins are associated with decreased similarity in their internal and external exposome profiles
Drouard G, Wang Z, Heikkinen A, Foraster M, Julvez J, Kanninen K, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 Sep; 14(1):21261. PMID: 39261679
Whether differences in lifestyle between co-twins are reflected in differences in their internal or external exposome profiles remains largely underexplored. We therefore investigated whether within-pair differences in lifestyle were associated...

A Bivariate Twin Study of Lifetime cannabis Initiation and Lifetime Regular Tobacco Smoking Across Three Different Countries
Zellers S, Dongen J, Maes H, Ollikainen M, Fang F, Vrieze S, et al.
Behav Genet . 2024 Jul; 54(5):375-385. PMID: 39078541
Regular cigarette smoking and cannabis consumption are strongly positively related to each other, yet few studies explore their underlying variation and covariation. We evaluated the genetic and environmental decomposition of...

A proteomic signature of healthspan
Kuo C, Liu P, Drouard G, Vuoksimaa E, Kaprio J, Ollikainen M, et al.
medRxiv . 2024 Jul; PMID: 38978645
The focus of aging research has shifted from increasing lifespan to enhancing healthspan to reduce the time spent living with disability. Despite significant efforts to develop biomarkers of aging, few...

TWINGEN: protocol for an observational clinical biobank recall and biomarker cohort study to identify Finnish individuals with high risk of Alzheimer's disease
Vuoksimaa E, Saari T, Aaltonen A, Aaltonen S, Herukka S, Iso-Markku P, et al.
BMJ Open . 2024 Jun; 14(6):e081947. PMID: 38866570
Introduction: A better understanding of the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) could expedite the development or administration of treatments. Large population biobanks hold the promise to identify individuals at...
