White matter lesions (WML) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans are associated with ageing. They are unrelated to specific disorders, and their impact on cognitive and other brain functions is poorly characterized. Pathological studies oft...

The cervical cancer epidemic that screening has prevented in the UK (2004)
Journal Article
Peto, P. J., Gilham, P. C., Fletcher, O., & Matthews, F. E. (2004). The cervical cancer epidemic that screening has prevented in the UK. Lancet, 364(9430), 249-256. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736%2804%2916674-9

Background Recent reports suggest that the reduction in mortality achieved by the UK national cervical screening programme is too small to justify its financial and psychosocial costs, except perhaps in a few high-risk women. Methods We analysed tren... Read More about The cervical cancer epidemic that screening has prevented in the UK.

Attrition and bias in the MRC cognitive function and ageing study: An epidemiological investigation (2004)
Journal Article
Matthews, F. E., Chatfield, M., Freeman, C., McCracken, C., & Brayne, C. (2004). Attrition and bias in the MRC cognitive function and ageing study: An epidemiological investigation. BMC public health, 4, 1-27. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-4-12

Background: Any hypothesis in longitudinal studies may be affected by attrition and poor response rates. The MRC Cognitive Function and Ageing study (MRC CFAS) is a population based longitudinal study in five centres with identical methodology in Eng...
