Major gene effect on body mass index: the role of energy intake and energy expenditure.

Human biology - 1 Oct 2000

Feitosa M F, Rice T, Nirmala A, Rao D C

Abstract excerpt

The evidence for a major gene for body mass index (BMI) was investigated using complex segregation analysis (POINTER) in 1691 individuals belonging to 432 nuclear families residing in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Since the BMI is significantly correlated with energy intake (EI) and energy expenditure of activity (EEA), the effects of each were removed from the BMI using regression analysis, and...
