TL;DR: It is concluded that sex-specific, male-line transgenerational responses exist in humans and hypothesise that these transmissions are mediated by the sex chromosomes, X and Y and add an entirely new dimension to the study of gene–environment interactions in development and health.

TL;DR: Can overeating during a child's slow growth period (SGP), before their prepubertal peak in growth velocity influence descendants' risk of death from cardiovascular disease and diabetes?
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenerational response to nutrition, early life circumstances and longevity

Attendance at cultural events, reading books or periodicals, and making music or singing in a choir as determinants for survival: Swedish interview survey of living conditions
TL;DR: Attendance at cultural events may have a positive influence on survival and long term follow up of large samples with confounders that are well controlled for and with the cultural stimulation more highly specified should be used to try to falsify the hypothesis before experiments start.
Journal ArticleDOI
