Heritability of the metabolic syndrome and its components in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS)

1 Dec 2012

Abstract excerpt

Growing evidence suggests that metabolic syndrome (MetS) has both genetic and environmental bases. We estimated the heritability of the MetS and its components in the families from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). We investigated 904 nuclear families in TLGS with two biological parents and at least one offspring (1565 parents and 2448 children), aged 3-90 years, for whom MetS information was available...
