Homemade stress in children cause biological age

It is known that stressful situations often occur in young families, serious impact on children's genes. This unusual, but very important relationship, established by a group of researchers from the United States, making the conclusion about strong influence of stress in the end portions of chromosomes called telomeres. Note that telomeres perform a protective function, preventing any destruction of the third chromosome.

Thus, each new division the telomeres become short, representing the main factor of biological age. Also, scientists learned that telomeres reduce may be accompanied by increased risk of many diseases, including heart disease, metabolic disorders and Oncology.



The research team studied the DNA of more than 40 nine-year-old children, the males with the establishment of serious conclusion. Those boys who lived in extremely dysfunctional families with frequent stressful situations, had telomeres that are longer by as much as 40 percent than those of the early age, living in normal families.
