Association among obesity-related anthropometric phenotypes: analyzing genetic and environmental contribution.

Human biology - 1 Apr 2012

Jelenkovic Aline, Rebato Esther

Abstract excerpt

Obesity has become a public-health and policy problem in many parts of the world. Epidemiological and population studies in this field are usually based on different anthropometric measures; however, common genetic and environmental factors between these phenotypes have been scarcely studied. The objective of this article is to assess the strength of these factors on the covariation among a large set of...
