Genetic contribution to rate of change in functional abilities among Danish twins aged 75 years or more.

American journal of epidemiology - 15 Jan 2002

Christensen Kaare, Gaist David, Vaupel James W, McGue Matt

Abstract excerpt

In a previous cross-sectional study of twins, the authors found evidence of a substantial genetic influence on functional abilities among elderly women. It has been suggested that rate of change in functional abilities over time could underlie such findings and that rate-of-change phenotypes may have an even larger genetic component than "level" phenotypes (e.g., functional abilities per se). If so,...
