Incidence of childhood onset type 1 diabetes in Western Australia from 1985 to 2016: Evidence for a plateauThis study provides evidence for a possible plateauing in the incidence of childhood T1D in Western Australia, following a peak in 2003

Machine Learning-Based DNA Methylation Score for Fetal Exposure to Maternal SmokingFetal exposure to maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with the development of noncommunicable diseases in the offspring. Maternal smoking may induce such long-term effects through persistent changes in the DNA methylome, which therefore hold the potential to be used as a biomarker of this early life exposure. With declining costs for measuring DNA methylation, we aimed to develop a DNA methylation score that can be used on adolescent DNA methylation data and thereby generate a score for in utero cigarette smoke exposure.

Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio tertiles predict risk of diabetic retinopathy progression: a natural history study from the Adolescent Cardio-Renal Intervention Trial (AdDIT) observational cohortWe hypothesised that adolescents with type 1 diabetes with a urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) in the upper tertile of the normal range (high ACR) are at greater risk of three-step diabetic retinopathy progression (3DR) independent of glycaemic control.

The Impact of the Metabolic Syndrome and Its Components on Resting Energy ExpenditureWe determined whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the increasing number of its components influenced the resting energy expenditure (REE).

Nationally Subsidized Continuous Glucose Monitoring: A Cost-effectiveness AnalysisThe Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Initiative recently introduced universal subsidized CGM funding for people with type 1 diabetes under 21 years of age in Australia. We thus aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of this CGM Initiative based on national implementation data and project the economic impact of extending the subsidy to all age-groups.

Load-velocity relationships and predicted maximal strength: A systematic review of the validity and reliability of current methodsMaximal strength can be predicted from the load-velocity relationship, although it is important to understand methodological approaches which ensure the validity and reliability of these strength predictions.
