Genetic Variability of Adult Body Mass Index: A Longitudinal Assessment in Framingham Families

1 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To explore the contribution of genetics to the mean, SD, maximum value, maximum less the mean, and change over time in body mass index (BMI) and the residual of body weight after adjustment for height. BMI is frequently used as a general indicator of obesity because of its ease and reliability in ascertainment. Cross-sectional twin and family studies have shown a moderate-to-substantial genetic...
