Unpublished data, I'm afraid, from a collaborator. But the manuscript is very close to submission. I'd expect to see it in 3-6 months.
It is honestly very hard to know about this kind of thing, because the results can vary based on how the analysis is done. But there is a severe publication bias effect in the sense that authors who see the clock giving a less than clean "story" tend to double and triple check their work and ultimately rarely to publish.
I have seen data going both ways on clock-disease associations, published and unpublished, so I do not know what the truth is, only enough to caution HN readers that a robust clock-disease association should not be taken as established truth.
