Integrating social, lifestyle, and genetic profiles to predict epigenetic age acceleration in older adults

|
By Mar Talens, Nicola Barban
| Nature Verified
Abstract Epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) is linked to social, lifestyle, and behavioural exposures, yet their relative importance when considered together remains unclear. To address this gap, we take an integrative, multi-domain approach to compare the relative importance of demographic, socioeconomic, psychosocial, health-behavioural, clinical, and genetic factors for EAA prediction.

| Nature Verified
Abstract Assortative mating (AM), the tendency to choose partners with similar traits, contributes to the genetic architecture of human traits. Detecting its genetic footprint (genetic AM) requires either genotyped couples or detection of gametic phase disequilibrium (which is insensitive to recent changes).

Human Fertility, Molecular Genetics, and Natural Selection in Modern Societies

|
By Jian Yang, Felix C. Tropf, Gert Stulp, Nicola Barban, Peter M. Visscher
| PLOS
Research on genetic influences on human fertility outcomes such as number of children ever born (NEB) or the age at first childbirth (AFB) has been solely based on twin and family-designs that suffer from problematic assumptions and practical limitations.
