  • The Association of Individual Changes in Stressful Life Events and Telomere Length Over Time in Twins 50 Years and Older

    Lotte Gerritsen, Sara Hägg et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2020

    OBJECTIVE: Exposure to adverse stressors has been associated with shortening of leukocyte telomere length (LTL). The present longitudinal study investigates the time course of exposure to life events and LTL to determine whether increases in exposure to life events are related to subsequent accelerated LTL shortening. METHODS: In the Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of Aging, we assessed late-life stressful events and LTL in 543 individual participant…

  • Neuroticism as a Predictor of Frailty in Old Age

    Hilda Björk Daníelsdóttir, Juulia Jylhävä et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2019

    OBJECTIVE: Neuroticism is associated with poor health outcomes, but its contribution to the accumulation of health deficits in old age, that is, the frailty index, is largely unknown. We aimed to explore associations between neuroticism and frailty cross-sectionally and longitudinally, and to investigate the contribution of shared genetic influences. METHODS: Data were derived from the UK Biobank (UKB; n = 274,951), the Australian Over 50's Study…

  • GWAS of 126,559 Individuals Identifies Genetic Variants Associated with Educational Attainment

    Open AccessCornelius A Rietveld, Sarah E Medland et al.ARTICLEScience2013

    Genetic College Many genomic elements in humans are associated with behavior, including educational attainment. In a genome-wide association study including more than 100,000 samples, Rietveld et al. (p. 1467 , published online 30 May; see the Perspective by Flint and Munafò ) looked for genes related to educational attainment in Caucasians. Small genetic effects at three loci appeared to impact educational attainment.

  • Relative deprivation and mortality – a longitudinal study in a Swedish population of 4,7 million, 1990–2006

    Open AccessMonica Åberg Yngwe, Naoki Kondo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Relative deprivation, based on social comparisons of income, is significantly associated with premature mortality in Sweden, over and above the effect of absolute income. Also, it was found to be more important among men, but weak among the poorest
