Physical activity and health: Findings from Finnish monozygotic twin pairs discordant for physical activity

2021-11-12

Abstract excerpt

Genetic and early environmental differences including early health habits associate with future health. To provide insight on the causal nature of these associations, monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs discordant for health habits provide an interesting natural experiment. Twin pairs discordant for leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in early adult life are thus a powerful study design to investigate the associations b...
