Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between GGN and CAG trinucleotide repeat polymorphisms in the androgen receptor (AR) gene and indices of obesity in older Caucasian adults. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: Ninety-nine healthy men (age 51-93 y) and 113 healthy postmenopausal women (age 51-92 y). MEASUREMENTS: Genotyping the GGN and CAG repeats of the AR gene, and measuring body weight, height and...
