If we resume the finding this in term of skin color: "some middle-aged people (mostly 'white') have higher pain sensitivity than other middle-aged people (mostly 'white') From the article: > About 0.4% of participants in the UK Biobank, a genome database of half a million British people, who reported on their pain symptoms had one copy of the mutated gene. No one had two, like Neanderthals. Participants with the mutated version of the gene were about 7% more likely to report pain in their lives than were people without it. About UK Biobank: > The study is following about 500,000 volunteers in the UK, enrolled at ages from 40 to 69. Initial enrollment took place over four years from 2006, and the volunteers will be followed for at least 30 years thereafter. I wonder if the same happens to younger people.
