Phenotypic and Genetic Relationship Between BMI and Drinking in a Sample of UK Adults.

Behavior genetics - 1 May 2017

Wills Amanda G, Evans Luke M, Hopfer Christian

Abstract excerpt

The health impairments derived from both alcoholism and obesity are well known. However, reports that relate increased alcohol use with increased measures of obesity have been mixed in their findings, especially with respect to genetic factors that could potentially link these two behaviors. Here, using a large sample of adults from the UK (n ≈ 113,000), we report both the observed and genetic correlations...
