Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Considering that waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is a simple anthropometric measure of obesity and is a better predictor of coronary heart disease than body mass index (BMI), the genetic underpinnings of WHR are of interest. The inheritance pattern of WHR, before and after adjustment for BMI (WHR-BMI), was investigated in 2713 individuals from 1038 nuclear families in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood...
