Genetic influences on daily intake and meal patterns of humans.

Physiology & behavior - 1 Apr 1993

de Castro J M

Abstract excerpt

The heritability of nutrient intake was investigated with 109 identical and 86 fraternal adult twin pairs who were paid to maintain 7-day food intake diaries. Both classical analysis of heritability and linear structural modeling revealed significant additive genetic influences on body size, height and weight, and body fatness (body-mass index). Significant heritabilities were also found for the amount of food...
