Assessment of adiposity in an Indian population: familial correlations.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Jan 1993

Nirmala A, Mitchell L E, Rice T, Reddy P C, Rao D C

Abstract excerpt

Familial correlations for five measures of adiposity were assessed using data from 473 nuclear families residing in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Fat patterning, measured as the ratio of trunk to extremity subcutaneous fat, and the ratio of the subscapular to the sum of the subscapular and suprailiac skinfolds, and three measures of generalized fatness: body mass index, the sum of six skinfolds...
