Transgenerational epigenetic teen violence

Transgenerational epigenetic observations

Marcus Pembrey and colleagues also observed in the Överkalix study that the paternal (but not maternal) grandsons of Swedish boys who were exposed during preadolescence to famine in the 19th century were less likely to die of cardiovascular disease; if food was plentiful then diabetes mortality in the grandchildren increased, suggesting that this was a transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.[43] The opposite effect was observed for females—the paternal (but not maternal) granddaughters of women who experienced famine while in the womb (and their eggs were being formed) lived shorter lives on average.[44]

====================

above observation points to the possible epigenetic origination of teen violence in Singapore where the parents are subjected to ramdom acts of violence during 2 years NS slavery and according to epigenetics theory pass the unhealthy enviromental factors to the offsprings.
