Socio-epigenetics is an interdisciplinary field that examines how social factors and experiences influence epigenetic modifications, thereby affecting gene expression and potentially leading to various health outcomes. This field bridges social sciences with molecular biology to understand how stress, socio-economic status, discrimination, and other environmental exposures can lead to changes in DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA expression. These epigenetic alterations can influence susceptibility to diseases, mental health conditions, and even behavioral traits, potentially being passed on to subsequent generations. Research in socio-epigenetics aims to uncover the biological pathways through which social determinants of health impact gene function and contribute to disparities in health outcomes across populations. By elucidating these mechanisms, socio-epigenetics offers insights into how improving social environments could promote better health outcomes and mitigate the intergenerational transmission of disease vulnerabilities.
