Commentary: Incorporating concepts and methods from causal inference into life course epidemiology
Introduction The review by Ben-Shlomo et al. highlights how life course epidemiology is evolving and adapting to accommodate increasing access to data on novel dimensions and over extended periods. This enriched framework raises ever greater methodological challenges, leaving statisticians like us daunted by the task of translating life course enquiries into suitable analyses of the data at han...
متن کاملLife Course, Green Space and Health: Incorporating Place into Life Course Epidemiology
Researchers interested in the relationships between place and health have been slow to incorporate a life course perspective, probably due to the lack of readily available historical environmental data. This hinders the identification of causal relationships. It also restricts our understanding as to whether there are accumulative effects over the life course and if there are critical periods i...
متن کاملCommentary: Twins, worms and life course epidemiology.
Scientists can be remarkably flexible when investigating the nature of health and survival, taking advantage of populations from roundworms to humans to gain insight. Yet, flexibility can foster concern over generalizability. In this issue of IJE, Öberg et al. provide evidence on the generalizability of findings with twins, one of epidemiology’s most popular special populations, by showing that...
متن کاملIncorporating Virtual Reality Concepts into the Introductory Computer Graphics Course
While an exciting and contemporary field, the subject of virtual reality (VR) receives little treatment in most undergraduate computer science curriculums. This paper describes the author’s efforts to provide an overview of VR as the final component of his introductory computer graphics course. Specifically, students learn about the defining characteristics of VR and some of its enabling techno...
متن کاملInvited Commentary: The Life Course Epidemiology of Depression.
Lifetime trajectories of risk for major depression appear to be established early in childhood. Within the broader frameworks of life course epidemiology and developmental psychopathology, Pesonen et al. (Am J Epidemiol 2007;166:1126–1133) provide new evidence that traumatic experiences in childhood increase the risk of depressive symptoms in adulthood. They reported on a follow-up study of 1,6...
