Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of genetic admixture in explaining phenotypic variation in obesity-related traits in a sample of African-American women (n = 145) and to determine significant associations between obesity traits and admixture genetic markers. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Associations between genetic admixture and BMI, resting metabolic rate, fat mass, fat-free mass, and bone mineral density...
