Educational attainment and the heritability of self-reported hypertension among male Vietnam-era twins.

Psychosomatic medicine - 1 Sept 2008

McCaffery Jeanne M, Papandonatos George D, Lyons Michael J, Niaura Raymond

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential for gene x environment interaction in hypertension by examining the extent to which educational attainment modifies the heritability of hypertension in male twins. Prior twin and family studies have established that hypertension runs in families and is heritable. In addition, epidemiological research indicates that the prevalence of hypertension differs by socioeconomic...
