Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity susceptibility genes are highly expressed in the brain suggesting that they might exert their influence on body weight through eating-related behaviors. OBJECTIVES: To examine whether the genetic susceptibility to obesity is mediated by eating behavior patterns. METHODS: Participants were 3977 twins (33% monozygotic, 56% females), aged 31-37 y, from wave 5 of the FinnTwin16 study. They...
