Genetic and environmental influences on body fat distribution, fasting insulin levels and CVD: are the influences shared?

Twin research : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Mar 2000

Nelson T L, Vogler G P, Pedersen N L, Hong Y, Miles T P

Abstract excerpt

Central body fat distribution has been shown to be related to hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, and atherosclerosis to a greater degree than general obesity. There are known to be both genetic and environmental effects on all components of this clustering. Whether these genetic effects are due to one set of genes in common to the components or whether genetic influences on insulin...
