Genetic predisposition to muscle strength linked to lower cardiovascular mortality

A study conducted by the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, found that men with a genetic predisposition supporting higher muscle strength had a lower risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases, regardless of their leisure-time physical activity levels or other lifestyle-related factors.

Genetic factors highlight the many ways health and height are linked - Tech and Science Post

Height is determined by thousands of signals in our genes. Three world experts on human growth, including Associate Professor Louise Bicknell from Otago’s Department of Biochemistry, have undertaken a significant review summarizing published research into the many different types of genetic factors that can influence height in people, and how that affects health. The paper co-authored by Bicknell, recently published in Nature Reviews Genetics, h…
