Epigenetics and the embodiment of race: developmental origins of US racial disparities in cardiovascular health.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Jan 2000

Kuzawa Christopher W, Sweet Elizabeth

Abstract excerpt

The relative contribution of genetic and environmental influences to the US black-white disparity in cardiovascular disease (CVD) is hotly debated within the public health, anthropology, and medical communities. In this article, we review evidence for developmental and epigenetic pathways linking...
