Physical activity reduces the influence of genetic effects on BMI and waist circumference: a study in young adult twins.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Jan 2009

Mustelin L, Silventoinen K, Pietiläinen K, Rissanen A, Kaprio J

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Both obesity and exercise behavior are influenced by genetic and environmental factors. However, whether obesity and physical inactivity share the same genetic vs environmental etiology has rarely been studied. We therefore analyzed these complex relationships, and also examined whethe...
