Segregation analysis of fat mass and other body composition measures derived from underwater weighing.

American journal of human genetics - 1 May 1993

Rice T, Borecki I B, Bouchard C, Rao D C

Abstract excerpt

Segregation patterns of three body composition measures which were derived from underwater weighing were evaluated in a random sample of 176 French-Canadian families. Two of the variables can be considered as primary partitions of weight (fat mass [FM] and fat-free mass [FFM]), while the remaining variable (percent body fat [%BF]) is a derived index combining the measures of both fat and fat-free weight. This...
