Genetic and environmental influences on blood pressure in elderly twins.
We used 289 pairs of Swedish twins reared apart or together to evaluate the importance of genetic and environmental influences on blood pressure. Unlike other twin and family studies, the adoption/twin design allows a distinction between estimates of the importance of shared rearing environments and genetic effects. Genetic factors were observed to play an important role for individual differen...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental influences on blood pressure and pulse pressure among adult African Americans.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to identify sources of variability for systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and pulse pressure (PP) in a sample of adult African-American twins. DESIGN The classic twin design was employed to examine genetic and environmental sources of variance in the outcome measures of interest. PARTICIPANTS Participants were 143 (7...
متن کاملGenetic influences on 'environmental' factors.
Childhood environment, social environment and behavior, leisure time activities and life events have been hypothesized to contribute to individual differences in cognitive abilities and physical and emotional well-being. These factors are often labeled 'environmental', suggesting they shape but not reflect individual differences in behavior. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that ...

review the literature on handedness, dichotic listening and anatomical asymmetry in schizophrenia and concluded that there was strong evidence for decreased cerebral lateralisation. As they point out, the implication is that finding the locus of the gene for cerebral dominance could unravel the genetic predisposition to schizophrenia. Procopio (2001) raises a number of points relevant to the fi...
متن کاملRunning head: GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES Genetic and Environmental Influences on Prosocial Behavior
The obvious importance to human social functioning of prosocial behavior (behavior intended to benefit others) has led to extensive research on the sources of individual differences in prosociality, empathy, helping, cooperation, and altruism. At the species level, this markedly human trait has been explained in genetic terms. At the individual level, however, only about a dozen studies have di...
