Evidence for independent genetic influences on fat mass and body mass index in a pediatric twin sample.

Pediatrics - 1 Jul 1999

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Insight into genetic and environmental influences on fat mass, independent of body mass index (BMI; kg/m2), is expected to enhance methods for treating pediatric obesity. However, few studies have estimated the heritability of fat mass in pediatric samples, and those conducted have relied primarily on BMI measurements. PRESENT STUDY: Using bioimpedance analysis, the present study tested a series of...
