Abstract excerpt

AIM: Familial loading for alcohol dependence (AD) and variation in genes reported to be associated with AD or BMI were tested in a longitudinal study. MATERIALS & METHODS: Growth curve analyses of BMI data collected at approximately yearly intervals and obesity status (BMI > 30) were examined. RESULTS: High-risk males were found to have higher BMI than low-risk males, beginning at age 15 years (2.0 kg/m(2)...
