Genetic variance of body mass index from childhood to early adulthood.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jan 2012

Dellava Jocilyn E, Lichtenstein Paul, Kendler Kenneth S

Abstract excerpt

Research has been conducted to determine genetic and environmental components of body mass index (BMI). The portion of phenotypic correlation attributed to genetic, and environmental effects, the effects of puberty stage on BMI means and variances, and consistency of parent/twin report remain largely unknown. The current study seeks to address these questions using four waves of data from 1480 twin pairs in the...
