the relationship reduce the risk of alcohol overuse that genetically susceptible persons. This is manifested in international research (switch to another service), which used the Finnish genetic material.
based on the results of a relationship to reduce juomiskertoja and alcohol dependence symptoms in both sexes. The strongest relationship however, protection hops-oriented juomiselta, but only men.
Peer-reviewed research published in October in the Addiction-science journal. The research material was a 1 in 200 people of Finnish twins of the development and health research. Participants were from 20 to 26 years of age. Researchers use were twins of genetic information, as well as interviews, which were asked among other things about relationships and alcohol use.
in the Study, the gender difference confirms earlier research results that men get about relationships more health benefits than women.
as well As the genes that the environment will affect the
the Research was doing a total of nine people in the united states, Finland and Turkey. Finland was accompanied by public health science professor Jaakko Koporye as well as academy research fellow Antti Latvala from the university of Helsinki.
Koporye told STT that kaksostutkimuksen participants was calculated genome on the basis of the probabilities of alcohol risk use. Risk score analysis was based on international research, involving about a million people. The results were compared with twins of the interviews.
based on the results of the genetic risk of excessive alcohol use does not occur in isolation. Social context can change how the susceptibility is realized, the sum of the study’s first author Peter Barr STT email. Barr is working with Virginia Commonwealth university in the united states.
according to him, the research also contributes to build a bridge between genetic biology and the social sciences in between.
We can never completely understand one without the other.
relationship provides support and control
Why do relationships then reduce to drink? Barr, according to the partner may, for example, receive emotional support, when negative emotions do not need to drown in alcohol.
the relationship also brings with it increasing levels of social control, Koporye supplement. The parties observe each other’s behavior and can intervene, if the partner drinks too much.
single men is easy to go to the studio of his outside group of friends and still go to the next place for the after party. A couple relationship may be in the same situation said that I promised to go home with a lady from one another.
the couple relationship is also associated with the specific expectations. Heavy alcohol use is not considered to belong to it, if you want to be a good partner and father or mother.
Men have been drinking more
the Reason as to why the couple relationship protects more men than women excessive juomiselta, not exactly known. The background can, however, contribute to the fact that men have been drinking, especially in the past, more than women, and their risk management has been more common.
Barr according to the social control can also reduce impulsive high-risk behaviors especially in young men with alcohol use can get out of hand.
Koporye hope to further study the relationship of genes and alcohol the links between. They should be involved in still larger samples and erimaalaisia people. This would give more evidence on how widely now obtained studies can generalize.
