Journal ArticleDOI
The Association Between Physical Activity in Leisure Time and Leukocyte Telomere Length
Lynn Cherkas,Janice L Hunkin,Bernet S. Kato,J. Brent Richards,Jeffrey P. Gardner,Gabriela L. Surdulescu,Masayuki Kimura,Xiaobin Lu,Tim D. Spector,Abraham Aviv +9 more
TL;DR: Leukocyte telomere length was positively associated with increasing physical activity level in leisure time (P< .001); this association remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, socioeconomic status, and physical activity at work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is the Tendency to Engage in Entrepreneurship Genetic
TL;DR: This article used quantitative genetics techniques to compare the entrepreneurial activity of 870 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) and 857 pairs of same-sex dizygotic twins from the United Kingdom.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of social status on biological aging as measured by white-blood-cell telomere length
L. F. Cherkas,Abraham Aviv,Ana M. Valdes,Janice L Hunkin,J. P. Gardner,Gabriela L. Surdulescu,Masayuki Kimura,Tim D. Spector +7 more
TL;DR: Low SES, in addition to the harmful effects of smoking, obesity and lack of exercise, appears to have an impact on telomere length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Influences on Exercise Participation in 37.051 Twin Pairs from Seven Countries
Janine H. Stubbe,Dorret I. Boomsma,Jacqueline M. Vink,Belinda K. Cornes,Nicholas G. Martin,Axel Skytthe,Kirsten Ohm Kyvik,Richard J. Rose,Richard J. Rose,Urho M. Kujala,Jaakko Kaprio,Jennifer R. Harris,Nancy L. Pedersen,Janice L Hunkin,Tim D. Spector,Eco J. C. de Geus +15 more
TL;DR: Genetic variation is important in individual exercise behavior and may involve genes influencing the acute mood effects of exercise, high exercise ability, high weight loss ability, and personality, according to this collaborative study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Offspring's Leukocyte Telomere Length, Paternal Age, and Telomere Elongation in Sperm
Masayuki Kimura,Lynn Cherkas,Bernet S. Kato,Serkalem Demissie,Jacob v. B. Hjelmborg,Michael Brimacombe,Adrienne Cupples,Janice L Hunkin,Jefferey P Gardner,Xiaobin Lu,Xiaojian Cao,Malinee Sastrasinh,Michael A. Province,Steven C. Hunt,Kaare Christensen,Daniel Levy,Tim D. Spector,Abraham Aviv +17 more
TL;DR: For every additional year of paternal age, LTL in offspring increased at a magnitude ranging from half to more than twice of the annual attrition in LTL with age, a phenomenon which might relate to telomere elongation in sperm from older men.
