Declarations
:
: For ALSAPC, ethical approval was obtained from the ALSPAC Law and Ethics Committee. The 2006–2010 NSHD data collection sweep included an in-depth cardiovascular assessment and was granted ethical approval from the Greater Manchester Local Research Ethics Committee and the Scotland Research Ethics Committee [17] and written informed consent was given by all study participants. Similarly, the SABRE study was granted ethics approval from Ealing, Hounslow and Spelthorne, Parkside, and University College London Research Ethics Committees with all participants giving written consent. Our project was approved by both the SABRE and NSHD committees. UK Biobank’s ethical approval was from the Northwest Multi-centre Research Committee (MRCEC) in 2011, which was renewed in 2016 and then in 2021. All procedures performed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.
