Genetic epidemiology of BMI and body mass change from adolescence to young adulthood.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Jul 2010

Abstract excerpt

The complex interplay between genes and environment affecting body mass gain over lifecycle periods of risk is not well understood. We use longitudinal sibling cohort data to examine the role of shared household environment, additive genetic, and shared genetic effects on BMI and BMI change. In the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, siblings and twin pairs sharing households for > or =10 years as...
