Decode 'blood dose'

Have you ever admired the adventurous hands dare to conquer the journey that makes you shudder? Scientists found 26 genetic variants that made them different from each other and also affirmed: "blood dose" is not necessarily good!

There are 26 genetic variations in humans that determine an individual's "blood dose" . It is the key to the success of many world record athletes, climbers, riders who are admired by everyone. An example is the world record holder for free diving William Trubridge explained his remarkable achievement "it beckons me beyond my limits".

But unfortunately, "blood dose" also increases the risk of unhealthy living, mental illness, obesity and . habits of sexual love.

These are issues that the authors of Emma Cliffton, Felix Day, Ken Ong, from Cambridge University (UK) pointed out in the article just published in The Conversation.

With the question "Will you describe yourself as a risk-loving person?" They have collected answers from more than 500,000 healthy adults in the UK and analyzed their lives.

The "risk-averse" team often likes to throw themselves into adventures and adventure games. Women with blood often have children earlier because they simply fall into the category of people willing to engage in risky relationships. However, it is regrettable that there are some unhealthy factors that "blood dose" stimulates people to seek. Scientists found that the group liked higher risks of smoking and drinking, often finding ways to smoke and drink from a young age. The risk of drug involvement also increased.

They are also at high risk of bipolar and schizophrenic disorders, because blood doses somehow affect their ability to control emotions. They often eat unhealthy as well as work or eat to solve their emotions.

Scientists found the cause of 26 genetic variants that gave birth to "blood doses". There are four areas of the brain affected by these genetic factors: the prefrontal cortex, the hippocampus, the frontal cortex and the hypothalamus. These regions are all related to behavioral, emotional, behavioral, and satisfying feelings when achieving something .

Therefore, some people find dangerous things become more attractive, interesting, difficult to commit themselves even though dangerous. They are also easy to get excited, ecstatic when overcoming that danger.

Scientists say their goal is to decipher the cause of risk aversion , which in turn has a way to understand and control when someone has too many unexpected behaviors: "risk" the network. for the community, easy emotional imbalance, smoking, drinking .

In contrast, the "blood dose" that is exploited in the right place will become a valuable asset because these people can promote their strengths in situations and careers that require risk. Astronaut Neil Armstrong said: "There will be no great achievements without risk."
