Genetic and environmental influences on growth from late childhood to adulthood: A longitudinal study of two Finnish twin cohorts

29 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Human growth is a complex process that remains insufficiently understood. We aimed to analyze genetic and environmental influences on growth from late childhood to early adulthood. METHODS: Two cohorts of monozygotic and dizygotic (same sex and opposite sex) Finnish twin pairs were studied longitudinally using self-reported height at 11-12, 14, and 17 years and adult age (FinnTwin12) and at 16, 17,...
