The Relative Contributions of Socioeconomic and Genetic Factors to Variations in Body Mass Index Among Young Adults.

American journal of epidemiology - 2 Nov 2020

Kim Rockli, Lippert Adam M, Wedow Robbee, Jimenez Marcia P, Subramanian S V

Abstract excerpt

In light of recent findings on the small proportion of variance in body mass index (BMI) explained by shared environment, and growing interests in the role of genetic susceptibility, we assessed the relative contribution of socioeconomic status (SES) and genome-wide polygenic score for BMI to explaining variation in BMI. Our final analytic sample included 4,918 White and 1,546 Black individuals from the US...
