Genetic and environmental influences on total-body and central abdominal fat: the effect of physical activity in female twins.

Annals of internal medicine - 1 Jun 1999

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The increasing prevalence of obesity has focused attention on the contribution of physical activity and its interaction with predisposing genetic factors. OBJECTIVE: To examine 1) the relation between physical activity and total-body and central abdominal fat, independent of genetic and other environmental factors, and 2) the influence of physical activity in persons who are genetically susceptible to...
