Genetic and nongenetic determinants of regional fat distribution.

Endocrine reviews - 1 Feb 1993

Bouchard C, Després J P, Mauriège P

Abstract excerpt

The role of inherited and nongenetic factors in individual differences observed in the level of sc fat on the trunk and abdominal areas and in the abdominal visceral deposit is reviewed. First, the metabolic and clinical implications of variation in body fat topography are summarized. Second, the results of genetic epidemiology studies on the heritability and other evidence for a role of the genotype in the...
