Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Previous studies show a wide range in the percentage of variance in leptin levels attributable to genetic factors. These studies differ markedly with respect to ethnicity, study design, and statistical methodology. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate heterogeneity hypotheses across ethnic groups and by adiposity level, using the same statistical methods. RESEARCH METHODS AND...
