Genetic Influences on Functional Capacities in Aging.

The Gerontologist - 1 Apr 2016

Foebel Andrea D, Pedersen Nancy L

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Older populations are characterized by great heterogeneity in functional capacities and understanding the factors underlying these differences has been a major area of research for some decades. Genetic differences arguably play an important role in the heterogeneity observed for many outcomes among older individuals. However, the role of genes in the variation and trajectories of functional capacities...
