Commentary: 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.

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...

Mobility is the most studied and most relevant physical ability affecting quality of life with strong prognostic value for disability and survival. Natural selection has built the "engine" of mobility with great robustness, redundancy, and functional reserve. Efficient patterns of mobility can be acquired during development even by children affected by severe impairments. Analogously, age-assoc...

متن کاملCommentary: 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...
