Changes in the genetic variance and heritability of the body mass index and skinfolds among Polish twins aged 8-18 years.

Collegium antropologicum - 1 Jun 2013

Koziel Slawomir, Nowak Natalia, Malina Robert M

Abstract excerpt

Body Mass Index (BMI) and skinfolds are common indicators of adiposity. Many studies have shown relationships between the BMI in childhood and adolescence and the BMI in adulthood. Similar correlations were observed for the skinfolds, although they tend to be lower. The aim of this study was to estimate changes with age in the genetic variance and heritability of the BMI and skinfolds among Polish twins born...
