Progressive influence of body mass index-associated genetic markers in rural Gambians.

Journal of medical genetics - 1 Jun 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In populations of European ancestry, the genetic contribution to body mass index (BMI) increases with age during childhood but then declines during adulthood, possibly due to the cumulative effects of environmental factors. How the effects of genetic factors on BMI change with age in other populations is unknown. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In a rural Gambian population (N=2535), we used a combined allele...
