Background: The association between physical activity (PA) and neuroticism has been
established, but the genetic mechanism remains elusive now. Methods: In this study …

In recent years, researchers have become increasingly aware of the impact that personality
traits have on individual lifestyle decisions, both positive and negative. Using longitudinal …

ABSTRACT A lack of physical activity (PA) is one of the most pressing health issues facing
society today. Our individual propensity for PA is partly influenced by genetic factors. Stated …

People with higher levels of neuroticism have an increased risk of several types of mental
disorder. Higher neuroticism has also been associated, less consistently, with increased risk …

Large-scale genomic studies are beginning to identify genetic predictors of physical activity
(PA). For those genetically predisposed to engage in low PA, a behavioral intervention may …

Over the past seventy years, biomedical and epidemiological research has shown that
regular physical activity (PA) is critical for physical and mental health. Despite this …

Neuroticism is a stable personality trait; twin studies report heritability between 30% and
50%, and SNP-based heritability is about 15%. Higher levels of neuroticism are associated …

Neuroticism is a moderately heritable personality trait considered to be a risk factor for
developing major depression, anxiety disorders and dementia. We performed a genome …

Background Mental health conditions represent one of the major groups of non-
transmissible diseases. Physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) have been shown to …

Neuroticism is a relatively stable personality trait characterized by negative emotionality (for
example, worry and guilt); heritability estimated from twin studies ranges from 30 to 50 …
