Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Evidence of a genetic basis of metabolic risk factors (MRFs) is growing. Studies examining the genetic and environmental basis of the clustering of MRFs, grouped together in the metabolic syndrome (MetS), are however sparse. The aim of this study therefore was to study the heritabilities of the MRFs and the genetic and environmental correlations between the MRFs. METHODS: Study participants were 768...
