Viva la Familia Study: genetic and environmental contributions to childhood obesity and its comorbidities in the Hispanic population.

The American journal of clinical nutrition - 1 Sept 2006

Butte Nancy F, Cai Guowen, Cole Shelley A, Comuzzie Anthony G

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic and environmental contributions to childhood obesity are poorly delineated. OBJECTIVE: The Viva la Familia Study was designed to genetically map childhood obesity and its comorbidities in the Hispanic population. The objectives of this report were to describe the study design and to summarize genetic and environmental contributions to the phenotypic variation in obesity and risk factors for...
