Physical activity, diet and gene-environment interactions in relation to body mass index and waist circumference: the Swedish young male twins study.

Public health nutrition - 1 Oct 2006

Karnehed Nina, Tynelius Per, Heitmann Berit L, Rasmussen Finn

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to examine the relationships between genetic susceptibility to obesity, physical activity (PA), dietary fibre, sugar and fat intakes and 4-year changes in body mass index (BMI) and attained waist circumference (WC) in a cohort of 287 monozygotic and 189 dizygotic young adult male twin pairs. Increased knowledge about interactions between genes and environment may...
