5-HTTLPR short allele, resilience, and successful aging in older adults.
Am J Geriatr Psychiatry. 2012; (5): 452-6
Resilience is proposed as a significant component of successful aging. Young adult carriers of the Serotonin Transporter Polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) short(s) allele appear to have reduced resilience to stress. We examined whether the presence of the short allele was associated with poorer emotional resilience in older adults.
