Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which the correlation of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass, fasting total cholesterol and fasting triglycerides in young adulthood reflects common genetic or environmental influences. DESIGN: Cardiovascular risk factors were measured in a community sample of 129 monozygotic and 67 dizygotic twin pairs, ages 18-30 years. METHODS: Multivariate twin...
