Genetic markers of obesity risk: stronger associations with body composition in overweight compared to normal-weight children.

PloS one - 15 Apr 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic factors are important determinants of overweight. We examined whether there are differential effect sizes depending on children's body composition. METHODS: We analysed data of n = 4,837 children recorded in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), applying quantile regression with sex- and age-specific standard deviation scores (SDS) of body mass index (BMI) or with body...
