Clustering of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity in adult male twins: same genes or same environments?

American journal of human genetics - 1 Sept 1994

Carmelli D, Cardon L R, Fabsitz R

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the mediating role of genetic factors in the clustering of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, using the twin registry maintained by the National Academy of Sciences--National Research Council. The study sample included 2,508 male twin pairs born between 1917 and 1927 who responded to a mailed questionnaire that covered demographic variables, cardiovascular risk factors, and health behaviors. The...
