Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to study heritability, risk factors and hospitalization for uterine fibroids. METHODS: A random sample of 80 MZ and 80 DZ twins from the Finnish Twin Cohort were invited and 51% of the eligible women (n=82, 17 MZ and 16 DZ pairs, 40-47 years, mean age 43.0), underwent a transvaginal ultrasound. The entire cohort of 13872 women was linked to the national hospital discharge registry...
