Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To test how genomic loci identified in genome-wide association studies influence the development of obesity. DESIGN: A 38-year prospective longitudinal study of a representative birth cohort. SETTING: The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, Dunedin, New Zealand. PARTICIPANTS: One thousand thirty-seven male and female study members. MAIN EXPOSURES: We assessed genetic risk with a...
