Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We analyzed the shared genetic background of extensive anthropometric measurements, determining body size and morphology. METHODS: Anthropometric measurements were taken for 15 traits from 1512 US twins at an average age of 11.7 years (Minnesota, 51% females) and for 20 traits at an average age of 14.8 years for males (N = 624) and 18.1 years for females (N = 505). Genetic twin modeling was utilized...
