Evidence for genetic influences on human energy intake: results from a twin study using measured observations.

Behavior genetics - 1 May 1999

Faith M S, Rha S S, Neale M C, Allison D B

Abstract excerpt

Human obesity is associated with greater-than-average energy intake, although relatively few studies have tested the heritability of food intake. The present study examined the genetic architecture of measured caloric intake during laboratory test meals in 36 monozygotic and 18 dizygotic twin pairs. A series of analyses tested the hypotheses that (1) there would be a genetic influence on total caloric intake, (2)...
