Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To study the genetic and environmental determination of variation in Heath-Carter somatotype (ST) components (endomorphy, mesomorphy and ectomorphy). DESIGN: Multivariate path analysis on twin data. SUBJECTS: Eight hundred and three members of 424 adult Flemish twin pairs (18-34 years of age). RESULTS: The results indicate the significance of sex differences and the significance of the covariation...
