Genetic versus environmental aetiology of the metabolic syndrome among male and female twins.

Diabetologia - 1 May 2001

Poulsen P, Vaag A, Kyvik K, Beck-Nielsen H

Abstract excerpt

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aetiology of the metabolic syndrome including hyperinsulinaemia, glucose intolerance, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and obesity is not known. We studied the relative impact of genetic versus environmental factors for the development of the components in the syndrome among male and female twins. METHODS: A total of 303 elderly twin pairs participated in the study. We report concordances and...
