The relative contribution of genetic factors and more modifiable environmental factors to a clinically<br />relevant osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis is unkown. In this paper we present an ongoing study on the genetic<br />contribution to total joint replacement (TJR) due to hip and knee OA and effects of lifestyle and lifestyle<br />related conditions on TJR due to OA. We have linked data on incident OA from the Norwegian Arthroplasty<br />Registry were l with the Norwegian Twin Registry on the National ID number in 2014, thus obtaining a<br />population based cohort of same-sex twins born 1915-60. Data on height, weight and lifestyle were selfreporteded<br />in questionnaires conducted between 1978 and 1992. The monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic<br />(DZ) concordances as well as the genetic contribution vs. contribution of more modifiable, environmental<br />factors to arthroplasty will be examined in separate analyses for the hip and the knee joint. The sample<br />comprised N=18058 twins (N=3803 MZ and N=5226 DZ pairs) including N=9650 (53.4%) females and a<br />mean (SD) age of 38 (12.3) years at questionnaire response. Some preliminary analyses have been performed<br />showing a higher concordance for TJR due to hip OA among MZ (0.36) than DZ twins (0.16), which may<br />be consistent with a genetic contribution to hip OA. TJR due to hip OA may be determined by genetic<br />factors. Results for the knee joint as well as final results from hereditary analyses and co-twin control<br />analyses of will be published consecutively from 2016.

Abstract This paper reviews and compares demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral (including diet) characteristics and heath phenotypes of centenarians in China and Italy. The results revealed that the interactions between familial longevity and any one of the three environmental factors (receipt of adequate medical care when ill as a child, number of living children, and household economic conditions) were significantly associated with the three health outcome indicators (IADL, self-rated life satisfaction, and anxiety-loneness) at old ages. We discovered that the effects of these environmental factors on the health outcome indicators were substantially stronger among elders who had no family history of longevity compared to centenarians’ children who likely carry genes and/or inherited healthy behavior and better lifestyle from long-lived parents.

People who live in the villas (i.e., slums) of Buenos Aires are confronted with poverty, poor and dangerous living conditions, and discrimination. Ten weeks were spent in the villas delivering a program designed to enhance life satisfaction and self-worth through games and the development of mental skills. The purpose of this paper is not to report on the content or the effectiveness of the program, but rather to explore the variables within Argentina and the villas as well as my own cultural biases that may have influenced the delivery of a psychological intervention program. Argentine factors include a high prevalence of psychologists and a psychoanalytic focus. Characteristics of the villas include environmental factors (e.g., transportation issues, sanitation), logistical issues (e.g., venues, access to writing implements), and psychological matters (e.g., hopelessness, different perceptions of confidence). Practitioner concerns included limited familiarity with life in the villas and having values that might be different from those of the participants. The discussion includes recommendations for others who are considering working in similar cultural and contextual situations.
