Heritabilities of morphological and body composition characteristics in a Spanish population.

Anthropologischer Anzeiger; Bericht uber die biologisch-anthropologische Literatur - 1 Dec 1994

Sánchez-Andrés A, Mesa M S

Abstract excerpt

Different estimates of heritability are presented for a set of anthropometric characteristics taken in 844 individuals from 261 families living in the Madrid city area (Spain). The data include measurements of 10 craniofacial, 11 body skeletal (4 lengths and 7 breadths), and 13 fat-related characteristics (weight, 3 circumferences, 6 skinfold thicknesses, body mass index and arm fat and arm muscle areas). The...
