Meike Bartels, Margot P. van de Weijer, Natalia Azcona-Granada, Bart M. L. Baselmans, Matthew J Suderman, Mette Soerensen, Jadwiga Buchwald, Rosa H. Mulder, Rajesh Rawal, Michelle Luciano A, Marc Jan Bonder, Priyanka Choudhary, Estelle Lowry, Penelope A. Lind, Joel David Schwartz, , Jenny van Dongen

This study conducts an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) meta-analysis of wellbeing using DNA methylation data, finding no significant methylation sites but suggesting the need for larger studies.

Physical activity and brain health: a systematic review of Mendelian Randomization studies

Adrià Túnez, Margot P. van de Weijer, Joseph Firth, Karin J. H. Verweij, Jorien L. Treur

This paper reviews Mendelian Randomization studies on physical activity and brain health, finding mixed evidence for causal effects, with stronger support for sedentary behaviors and strength-related traits.
