Risk for bipolar disorder9
  • Who is at risk for bipolar disorder? (medlineplus.gov)
  • You are at higher risk for bipolar disorder if you have a close relative who has it. (medlineplus.gov)
  • 02). Patients who self-reported a previous diagnosis of bipolar disorder that was not confirmed by the SCID did not have a significantly higher morbid risk for bipolar disorder than the patients who were negative for bipolar disorder by self-report and the SCID. (nih.gov)
  • Unaffected first-degree relatives represent a group of individuals at risk for bipolar disorder who have not been treated with medications, so studying them may represent a truer reflection of the relationship between ageing and bipolar disorder. (kcl.ac.uk)
  • This suggests that genetic or environmental factors associated with family risk for bipolar disorder are also linked to faster biological ageing. (kcl.ac.uk)
  • Dr Timothy Powell , first author of the study, from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, said: 'Our study provides the first evidence that familial risk for bipolar disorder is associated with shorter telomeres, which may explain why bipolar disorder patients are also at a greater risk for ageing-related diseases. (kcl.ac.uk)
  • We still need to dissect the environmental and genetic contributions to shortened telomeres in those at high risk for bipolar disorder. (kcl.ac.uk)
  • For instance, do those at risk for bipolar disorder carry genes predisposing them to faster biological ageing, or are they more likely to partake in environmental factors which promote ageing (e.g. smoking, poor diet)? (kcl.ac.uk)
