Religious attendance and frequency of alcohol use: same genes or same environments: a bivariate extended twin kinship model.

Twin research : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Jun 1999

Abstract excerpt

Religious attendance has been shown to correlate negatively with alcohol use. We investigated whether this relationship is driven by genetic or environmental factors. Data on frequency of church attendance and frequency of alcohol use were obtained from twins and their families in the Virginia 30,000 study. A comprehensive bivariate model of family resemblance was fitted to the data using Mx. This model is...
