Childhood aggression and its resulting consequences inflict a huge burden on affected children, their relatives, teachers, peers society as whole. Aggression during childhood rarely occurs in isolation is correlated with other symptoms of psychopathology. In this paper, we aim to describe improve the understanding co-occurrence forms We focus behavioural emotional problems, including externalising attention problems anxiety–depression. The data were brought together within EU-ACTION...
Aggression in children has genetic and environmental causes. Studies of aggression can pool existing datasets to include more complex models social effects. Such analyses require large with harmonized outcome measures. Here, we made use a reference panel for phenotype data harmonize multiple measures school-aged jointly analyze from five twin cohorts.Individual level on 86,559 (42,468 pairs) were available European cohorts measured by different instruments. A phenotypic was collected which...
There is little evidence on the association between child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) policies health. This study examined this using data indicators of health—aggressive behavior, life satisfaction, psychosomatic symptoms—in 172,829 eleven- to fifteen-year-olds from 30 European countries in 2013-2014 Health Behaviour School-Aged Children (HBSC) study. Individual records were linked national-level for CAMH, controlling adult violence, well-being, income inequality. Multilevel...
Socioeconomic status (SES) affects the development of childhood behavioral problems. It has been frequently observed that children from low SES background tend to show more There also is some evidence a moderating effect on causes individual differences in problems, with lower heritability estimates and stronger contribution environmental factors groups. The aim present study was examine whether genetic architecture problems suggests presence protective and/or harmful effects across...
Parallel meta-analysis is a popular approach for increasing the power to detect genetic effects in genome-wide association studies across multiple cohorts. Consortia studying genetics of behavioral phenotypes are oftentimes faced with systematic differences phenotype measurement cohorts, introducing heterogeneity into and reducing statistical power. This study investigated integrative data analysis (IDA) as an jointly modeling datasets. We put forth bi-factor integration model (BFIM) that...
Abstract Metabolites are small molecules involved in cellular metabolism where they act as reaction substrates or products. The term ‘metabolomics’ refers to the comprehensive study of these molecules. concentrations metabolites biological tissues under genetic control, but this is limited by environmental factors such diet. In adult mono- and dizygotic twin pairs, we estimated contribution shared influences on metabolite levels structural equation modeling tested whether familial...
Background Given the role of childhood aggressive behavior (AGG) in everyday child development, precise and accurate measurement is critical clinical practice research. This study aims to quantify agreement among widely used measures AGG regarding item content, concordance, correlation, underlying genetic construct. Methods We analyzed data from 1254 Dutch twin pairs (age 8–10 years, 51.1% boys) a general population sample for whom both parents completed A‐TAC, CBCL, SDQ at same occasion....
