Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To test the existence of gene-by-stress interaction by assessing cardiovascular stress reactivity in monozygotic and dizygotic twins. METHODS: We studied 160 adolescent (mean age 16.7 +/- 2.0 years; range 13-22 years) and 212 middle-aged twin pairs (mean age 44.2 +/- 6.7 years; range 34-63 years).
