Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Studies have found a modest association between depression and obesity, especially in women. Given the substantial genetic contribution to both depression and obesity, we sought to determine whether shared genetic influences are responsible for the association between these two conditions. METHODS: Data were obtained from 712 monozygotic and 281 dizygotic female twin pairs who are members of the...
