Heritability of neck pain: a population-based study of 33,794 Danish twins.

Rheumatology (Oxford, England) - 1 May 2006

Fejer R, Hartvigsen J, Kyvik K O

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To determine the heritability of neck pain in a large population-based study of twins. METHODS: Data on lifetime prevalence of neck pain from a population-based cross-sectional survey of Danish twins were used. To assess twin similarity, the probandwise concordance rates, zygosity-specific odds ratios and tetrachoric correlations were calculated and compared for monozygotic and dizygotic twins. Using...
