The Association Between Puberty Timing and Body Mass Index in a Longitudinal Setting: The Contribution of Genetic Factors
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] We analyzed the contribution of genetic factors on the association between puberty timing and body mass index (BMI) using longitudinal data and two approaches: (i) genetic twin design and (ii) polygenic scores (PGS) ...
Smoking remains associated with education after controlling for social background and genetic factors in a study of 18 twin cohorts
(Nature, 2022)
We tested the causality between education and smoking using the natural experiment of discordant twin pairs allowing to optimally control for background genetic and childhood social factors. Data from 18 cohorts including ...
Changing genetic architecture of body mass index from infancy to early adulthood: an individual based pooled analysis of 25 twin cohorts
(Nature, 2022-10)
Background Body mass index (BMI) shows strong continuity over childhood and adolescence and high childhood BMI is the strongest predictor of adult obesity. Genetic factors strongly contribute to this continuity, but it is ...
Genetic regulation of body size and morphology in children: a twin study of 22 anthropometric traits
(Nature, 2023-03)
Background
Anthropometric measures show high heritability, and genetic correlations have been found between obesity-related traits. However, we lack a comprehensive analysis of the genetic background of human body morphology ...
Association of height and pubertal timing with lipoprotein subclass profile: exploring the role of genetic and environmental effects
(Wiley, 2013-05-04)
Objectives: Little is known about the relationship between growth and lipoprotein profile. We aimed to analyze common genetic and environmental factors in the association of height from late childhood to adulthood and ...
The association between height and birth order: evidence from 652,518 Swedish men
(BMJ, 2013)
Background: Birth order is associated with outcomes such as birth weight and adult socioeconomic position (SEP), but little is known about the association with adult height. This potential birth order-height association ...
Genetic and Environmental Influences on Growth from Late Childhood to Adulthood: A Longitudinal Study of Two Finnish Twin Cohorts
(Wiley, 2011-09-29)
Objectives: Human growth is a complex process that remains insufficiently understood. We aimed to analyze genetic and environmental influences on growth from late childhood to early adulthood.
Methods: Two cohorts of ...
Association among obesity-related anthropometric phenotypes: analyzing genetic and environmental contribution
(Wayne State University Press, 2012-04-01)
Obesity has become a public-health and policy problem in many parts of the world. Epidemiological and population studies in this field are usually based on different anthropometric measures; however, common genetic and ...
A statistical investigation into the sharing of common genetic factors between blood pressure and obesity phenotypes in nuclear families from the Greater Bilbao (Spain)
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2010)
Objectives: Several obesity phenotypes (e.g. body mass and fat, fat distribution) have been suggested to be a risk for elevated blood pressure. This study was undertaken to determine the heritability of four blood pressure ...
