Genetic Modeling of Tobacco Use Behavior and Trajectories
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genetic studies have provided strong evidence that heritable factors generate individual differences in smoking behavior. Shared environmental factors appear to play a larger role in tobacco use at earlier ages. Improved modeling techniques hold the potential to better differentiate between genetic and environmental factors in tobacco use. This chapter examines genetic modeling issues in the study of smoking trajectories and behavior, including
