Genetic and environmental influences on BMI from late childhood to adolescence are modified by parental education.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Mar 2012

Lajunen Hanna-Reetta, Kaprio Jaakko, Rose Richard J, Pulkkinen Lea, Silventoinen Karri

Abstract excerpt

To investigate how parental education modifies genetic and environmental influences on variation in BMI during adolescence, self-reported BMI at 11-12, 14, and 17 years of age was collected from a population sample of 2,432 complete Finnish twin pairs born in 1983-1987. Based on parental report,...
