Social environments and the genetics of aging: advancing knowledge of protective health mechanisms.

The journals of gerontology. Series B, Psychological sciences and social sciences - 1 Mar 2005

Ryff Carol D, Singer Burton H

Abstract excerpt

We selectively review the literature in behavioral and molecular genetics, including both laboratory and epidemiologic studies, with emphasis on how social environments, particularly emotion in significant social relationships, influence gene expression. Attention is given to cross-talk between human and animal studies. Environments are pivotal in understanding phenotypic outcomes, and this demands research on...
