Early First Drink May Modify Youth Risk For Alcohol Dependence
Montag 21. September 2009 von htm
Individuals who begin drinking at an early age are more likely to subsequently develop alcohol dependence (AD). While age at first drink (AFD) and AD are influenced by similar genetic and environmental factors, AFD may also have an impact on the risk for AD. A new study has found that AFD may facilitate the expression of genes that are already associated with vulnerability to AD symptoms. Results will be published in the December issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research and are currently available at Early View. (Source: Medical News Today, 9/21/09)
