• The social determinants of health: coming of age. (2011, background): “Emerging research on geneenvironment interactions suggests that the intergenerational transmission of social advantage and health may be partially explained by epigenetic changes in gene expression, which in turn are passed on to subsequent generations (61).”
• Understanding Racial/ethnic Disparities in Health: Sociological Contributions (2010, background): “Early research on racial differences in health viewed all observed disparities as reflecting biological differences between racial groups (Krieger 1987).”
• Race as a Bundle of Sticks: Designs that Estimate Effects of Seemingly Immutable Characteristics (2016, background): “Factors like maternal stress, early life undernutrition and other early life forces become " embodied " and durable points of differentiation across adult populations defined by racial and ethnic categories (Ben-Shlomo and Kuh 2002; Kuzawa and Sweet 2009).”
