    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Spine health risk management strategy Moderate

    Genetic risk assessment should inform clinical preventive strategy and monitoring timeline

Exercise

  • Core strengthening exercises Moderate

    Strong spinal stabilizers may mitigate genetic predisposition to degenerative spine disease

    2-3 sessions per week targeting core muscles (planks, dead bugs, bird dogs)

Lifestyle

  • Ergonomic posture and spine support Moderate

    Proper spinal alignment reduces degenerative loading on vertebrae, potentially delaying onset of spine disorders

    Maintain neutral spine at desk, use supportive chair, take regular position breaks

Screening

  • Periodic spine health assessment (imaging and clinical) Moderate

    Genetic variant associated with 3-fold increased risk of spine disorders in 565K-person GWAS

    Consider baseline spine imaging in 30s-40s, then reassess based on symptoms
