The science of reading should be informed by an evolving evidence base built on the
scientific method. Decades of basic research and randomized controlled trials of …

We show that genetic endowments linked to educational attainment strongly and robustly
predict wealth at retirement. The estimated relationship is not fully explained by flexibly …

Recent advances have led to the discovery of specific genetic variants that predict
educational attainment. We study how these variants, summarized as a linear index—known …

Via meta-analysis, we examined whether the heritability of intelligence varies across racial
or ethnic groups. Specifically, we tested a hypothesis predicting an interaction whereby …

Research has revealed scarcely any biological factors of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that are
specific to men. Here, we found that the extreme downregulation of chromosome Y (EDY) …

Educational attainment is often considered the most important protective factor against
cognitive impairment and dementia, yet significant variation in early educational …

Background Studies examining risk factors for dementia have typically focused on testing a
priori hypotheses within specific risk factor domains, leaving unanswered the question of …

With the advance of genomics, specific individual conditions have received increased
attention in the generation of scientific knowledge. This spans the extremes of the aim of …

In light of recent findings on the small proportion of variance in body mass index (BMI)
explained by shared environment, and growing interests in the role of genetic susceptibility …

Physical activity and cognitive functioning are strongly intertwined. However, the causal
relationships underlying this association are still unclear. Physical activity can enhance …
