A genetic study of 66,000 people links impulsivity to 212 health conditions, suggesting it's a key risk factor independent of intelligence or education.
A large genetic study of over 66,000 people links impulsivity—specifically the preference for immediate rewards—to 212 health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, chronic pain, and mood disorders.
Researchers found that delay discounting has a genetic basis independent of intelligence or education, suggesting it may serve as a trans-diagnostic trait influencing health risks.
The findings, supported by the NIH, point to potential clinical uses for assessing impulsivity, though further research is needed to confirm causality and explore environmental factors.
