Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The reduced contribution of physical activity (PA) to daily energy expenditure contributes to the increased prevalence of obesity. A genetic control of activity-induced energy expenditure (AEE) may contribute to a genetic susceptibility to obesity. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to investigate the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to the variation and covariation in AEE and PA....
