  • Is the Gene-Environment Interaction Paradigm Relevant to Genome-Wide Studies? The Case of Education and Body Mass Index

    Open AccessJ D Boardman, B W Domínguez et al.ARTICLEDemography2014Citada por: 22Referências: 61

    This study uses data from the Framingham Heart Study to examine the relevance of the gene-environment interaction paradigm for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We use completed college education as our environmental measure and estimate the interactive effect of genotype and education on body mass index (BMI) using 260,402 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Our results highlight the sensitivity of parameter estimates obtained from GWA…

  • Consequences of Teen Parents' Child-Care Arrangements for Mothers and Children

    Open AccessMollborn, Stefanie Mollborn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family2012Citada por: 4Referências: 26

    Using the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (2001-2006; N ≅7,900), the authors examined child-care arrangements among teen parents from birth through prekindergarten. Four latent classes of child care arrangements at 9, 24, and 52 months emerged: (a) "parental care," (b) "center care," (c) "paid home-based care," and (d) "free kin-based care." Disadvantaged teen-parent families were overrepresented in the …

  • Population Composition, Public Policy, and the Genetics of Smoking

    Open AccessJ D Boardman, Casey L Blalock et al.ARTICLEDemography2011Citada por: 23Referências: 29

    In this article, we explore the effect of public policy on the extent to which genes influence smoking desistance. Using a sample of adult twins (nmz = 363, ndz = 233) from a large population registry, we estimate Cox proportional hazards models that describe similarity in the timing of smoking desistance among adult twin pairs. We show that identical twin pairs are significantly more likely to quit smoking within a similar time frame compared wi…

  • Ethnicity, Body Mass, and Genome-Wide Data

    J D Boardman, Casey L Blalock et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology2010Referências: 53

    This article combines social and genetic epidemiology to examine the influence of self-reported ethnicity on body mass index (BMI) among a sample of adolescents and young adults. We use genetic information from more than 5,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms in combination with principal components analysis to characterize population ancestry of individuals in this study. We show that non-Hispanic white and Mexican-American respondents differ sig…

  • Trends in the Genetic Influences on Smoking

    Open AccessJ D Boardman, Casey L Blalock et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…2010Citada por: 27Referências: 40

    Using twin pairs from the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States, we estimate that 35 percent of the variance in regular smoking is due to additive genetic influences. When we disaggregate the sample by birth cohort we witness strong genetic influences on smoking for those born in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1950s, but negligible influences for those born in the 1940s and 1960s. We show that the timing of the first Surgeon General'…
