What can genes tell us about the relationship between education and health?

Social science & medicine (1982) - 1 Feb 2015

Boardman Jason D, Domingue Benjamin W, Daw Jonathan

Abstract excerpt

We use genome wide data from respondents of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to evaluate the possibility that common genetic influences are associated with education and three health outcomes: depression, self-rated health, and body mass index. We use a total of 1.7 million single nucleotide polymorphisms obtained from the Illumina HumanOmni2.5-4v1 chip from 4233 non-Hispanic white respondents to...
