Genetic Influences on Exercise Participation in 37.051 Twin Pairs from Seven Countries

20 Dec 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A sedentary lifestyle remains a major threat to health in contemporary societies. To get more insight in the relative contribution of genetic and environmental influences on individual differences in exercise participation, twin samples from seven countries participating in the GenomEUtwin project were used. METHODOLOGY: Self-reported data on leisure time exercise behavior from Australia, Denmark,...
