Molecular Genetic Contributions to Social Deprivation and Household Income in UK Biobank
Individuals with lower socio-economic status (SES) are at increased risk of physical and mental illnesses and tend to die at an earlier age [1-3]. Explanations for the association between SES and health typically focus on factors that are environmental in origin [4]. However, common SNPs have been found collectively to explain around 18% of the phenotypic variance of an area-based social depriv...
متن کاملPoverty in Britain: The 1999 Poverty and Social Exclusion Survey of Britain
This paper shows the extent and nature of poverty in Britain at the beginning of the 21 century as measured by low-income thresholds (60% of the median household income), deprivation measures, subjective poverty measures and combined low income and deprivation poverty thresholds. Section One outlines some key trends in social and demographic change in Britain, and the potential implications of ...
متن کاملEvidence that lower socioeconomic position accentuates genetic susceptibility to obesity
Susceptibility to obesity in today’s environment has a strong genetic component. Lower socioeconomic position (SEP) is associated with a higher risk of obesity but it is not known if it accentuates genetic susceptibility to obesity. We aimed to use up to 120,000 individuals from the UK Biobank study to test the hypothesis that measures of socioeconomic position accentuate genetic susceptibility...
متن کاملGene–obesogenic environment interactions in the UK Biobank study
Background Previous studies have suggested that modern obesogenic environments accentuate the genetic risk of obesity. However, these studies have proven controversial as to which, if any, measures of the environment accentuate genetic susceptibility to high body mass index (BMI). Methods We used up to 120 000 adults from the UK Biobank study to test the hypothesis that high-risk obesogenic e...
متن کاملContribution of risk factors to excess mortality in isolated and lonely individuals: an analysis of data from the UK Biobank cohort study
BACKGROUND The associations of social isolation and loneliness with premature mortality are well known, but the risk factors linking them remain unclear. We sought to identify risk factors that might explain the increased mortality in socially isolated and lonely individuals. METHODS We used prospective follow-up data from the UK Biobank cohort study to assess self-reported isolation (a three...
