TL;DR: In conclusion, metabolomics is a promising approach for the assessment of biological age and appears complementary to established epigenetic clocks.

A cross-sectional investigation into the occupational and socio-demographic characteristics of British police force employees reporting a dietary pattern associated with cardiometabolic risk: findings from the Airwave Health Monitoring Study.
Rachel J. Gibson,Rebeca Eriksen,Deepa Singh,Anne-Claire Vergnaud,Andy Heard,Queenie Chan,Paul Elliott,Gary Frost +7 more
TL;DR: The general population disparities in diet quality between England and Scotland were reflected in British police employees and the association of longer working hours and job strain with diet quality supports the targeting of workplace nutritional interventions.
Intakes and Food Sources of Dietary Fibre and Their Associations with Measures of Body Composition and Inflammation in UK Adults: Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Airwave Health Monitoring Study
Rachel J. Gibson,Rebeca Eriksen,Edward S. Chambers,He Gao,Maria Aresu,Andy Heard,Queenie Chan,Paul Elliott,Gary Frost +8 more
TL;DR: Higher fibre intake has a beneficial association on body composition, however, there are differential associations based on the food source, and direct associations observed between potato fibre intake and measures of body composition and inflammation were attenuated in fully adjusted analyses.

Acute Exposure to Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) has effects on the electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram, consistent with vagal nerve stimulation
Adrian Burgess,Nathalie Fouquet,Stefano Seri,Malcolm B. Hawken,Andy Heard,David Neasham,Mark P. Little,Paul Elliott +7 more
TL;DR: Observed effects of exposure to TETRA signals on the electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram are consistent with vagal nerve stimulation in the chest by TETra, however given the small effect on heart rate variability and the lack of consistency it seems unlikely that this will have a significant impact on health.

TL;DR: This study aims to investigate the impact of genetic interactions with alcohol and diet quality on glycated haemoglobin A1c independent of obesity, in a British population.
