Nature research paper: Countrywide natural experiment links built environment to physical activity

go.nature.com/46W2lFl
Countrywide natural experiment links built environment to physical activity - Nature
By analysing the smartphone data of 2,112,288 participants, in particular observing and comparing the activity of the same individual in two different environments, we find that increases in the walkability of environments result in increases in daily physical activity, providing evidence of the importance of the built environment on physical health.

Can we use genetics to make real-world evidence more like randomized trials and improve trial design in the process?

In our latest paper, we emulate 4 cardiometabolic RCTs in
FinnGen and test how polygenic scores can improve trial emulation

Incorporating genetic data improves target trial emulations and informs the use of polygenic scores in randomized controlled trial design
Nature Genetics - This study integrates polygenic risk scores with four emulated clinical trials using FinnGen data and shows the feasibility of this approach while highlighting potential pitfalls.
