These studies suggest that environmental and lifestyle factors, such as diet, physical activity, pollutants, and stress, influence gene expression and health outcomes through epigenetic mechanisms, impacting disease risk and overall health.
Environmental and lifestyle factors significantly influence gene expression and health outcomes through various epigenetic mechanisms. These factors include diet, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and exposure to pollutants, which can lead to changes in DNA methylation, histone modifications, and miRNA expression. Understanding these interactions is crucial for predicting disease risk and developing preventive strategies.
