Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the change in heritability of adult body height across birth cohorts in Finland. METHODS: In 1981, cross-sectional questionnaires were completed by 10,968 twin pairs born before 1958. The effect of genetic factors was estimated via genetic modeling. RESULTS: Heritability increased from the cohort born before 1929 (0.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.65, 0.88 in men; 0.66, 95% CI...
