Latent common genetic components of obesity traits.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Dec 2008

Tayo B O, Harders R, Luke A, Zhu X, Cooper R S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity is rapidly becoming a global epidemic. Unlike many complex human diseases, obesity is defined not just by a single trait or phenotype, but jointly by measures of anthropometry and metabolic status. METHODS: We applied maximum likelihood factor analysis to identify common latent factors underlying observed covariance in multiple obesity-related measures. Both the genetic components and the mode...
