  eLife Assessment

  This important study reports convincing evidence of associations between 35 polygenic indices (PGIs) for social, behavioural, and psychological traits, as well as other health conditions (e.g., BMI) and all-cause mortality, based on data from Finnish population-based surveys and a twin cohort linked to administrative registers. PGIs for education, depression, alcohol use, smoking, BMI, and self-rated health showed the strongest associations with all-cause mortality, in the order of ~10% increment in risk per PGI standard deviation. Effect sizes from twin-difference analyses tended to be slightly larger than those from population cohorts, a pattern opposite that generally observed when testing PGI associations with their target phenotypes, and supporting the robustness of findings to confounding by population stratification.

  eLife Assessment

  This study presents valuable findings from a spatiotemporal analysis of arbovirus case notification data from 2013 to 2020 in Brazil, reporting associations between covariates representing potential drivers of arbovirus transmission and recorded incidence. The work is methodologically solid, though it is unclear how much explanatory power inclusion of the covariates adds. The findings will be of interest to researchers working on the epidemiology of arboviruses.
