Commingling analysis of generalized body mass and composition measures: the Québec Family Study.

International journal of obesity - 1 Nov 1991

Borecki I B, Rice T, Bouchard C, Rao D C

Abstract excerpt

Human body mass and composition are heterogeneous phenotypes resulting from the combined effects of genes, environmental factors, and their interactions. In order to gain an understanding of the individual genetic determinants leading to obesity, we have initiated a systematic analysis of several measures of fatness and its phenotypes including: the body mass index (wt/ht2), fat mass, fat-free (lean) mass, the...
