Shared genetic influence of BMI, physical activity and type 2 diabetes: a twin study.

Diabetologia - 1 May 2013

Carlsson S, Ahlbom A, Lichtenstein P, Andersson T

Abstract excerpt

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to examine the long-term associations of BMI and physical activity with type 2 diabetes, and to estimate shared genetic components of these traits. METHODS: We used data from the Swedish Twin Registry on 23,539 twins born 1886-1958 who answered questionnaires between 1967 and 1972 and were followed up until 1998. The risk of type 2 diabetes in relation to BMI and...
