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 ... -
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 ... -
Association between birth weight and educational attainment: an individual-based pooled analysis of nine twin cohorts
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-05-30)Background There is evidence that birth weight is positively associated with education, but it remains unclear whether this association is explained by familial environmental factors, genetic factors or the intrauteri ... -
Association between birthweight and later body mass index: an individual-based pooled analysis of 27 twin cohorts participating in the CODATwins project
(Oxford University Press, 2017-10)Background: There is evidence that birthweight is positively associated with body mass index (BMI) in later life, but it remains unclear whether this is explained by genetic factors or the intrauterine environment. We ... -
Association between lifestyle features and obesity phenotypes in adults from the Basque Country (Spain)
(Schweizerbart Science Publishers, 2023-06-19)Lifestyle is related to the risk of obesity, but the relationship between different lifestyle features and obesity phenotypes remains unclear. This study analysed the association between different lifestyle features (eating ... -
Association between self-perceived body image and body composition between the sexes and different age classes
(Elsevier, 2021-10-13)Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between self-perceived body image and body composition in the sexes and in different age classes. Methods: The sample consisted of 632 young adults ... -
Association between serum fatty acids and lipoprotein subclass profile in healthy young adults: exploring common genetic and environmental factors
(Elsevier, 2014-01-21)Objective Little is known about the associations of serum fatty acids with lipoprotein profile and the underlying genetic and environmental etiology of these relationships. We aimed to analyze the phenotypic association ... -
Association of Birth Order with Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Young Adulthood: A Study of One Million Swedish Men
(Public Library of Science, 2013-05-16)Background: Birth order has been suggested to be linked to several cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, but the evidence is still inconsistent. We aim to determine the associations of birth order with body mass index ... -
Association of Current and Former Smoking With Body Mass Index: a Study of Smoking Discordant Twin Pairs From 21 Twin Cohorts
(Public Library Science, 2018-07-12)Background Smokers tend to weigh less than never smokers, while successful quitting leads to an increase in body weight. Because smokers and non-smokers may differ in genetic and environmental family background, we ... -
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 ... -
Association of paternal IQ in early adulthood with offspring mortality and hospital admissions for injuries: a cohort study of 503 492 Swedish children
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014-04-17)Background Higher intelligence (IQ) has been related to a lower risk of mortality and hospital admissions for injuries, but little is known about the effect of parental IQ on offspring outcomes. We explored associations ... -
Associations Between Birth Size and Later Height From Infancy Through Adulthood: an Individual Based Pooled Analysis of 28 Twin Cohorts Participating in the Codatwins Project
(Elsevier Ireland, 2018-05)Background: There is evidence that birth size is positively associated with height in later life, but it remains unclear whether this is explained by genetic factors or the intrauterine environment. Aim: To analyze the ... -
Birth size and gestational age in opposite-sex twins as compared to same-sex twins: An individualbased pooled analysis of 21 cohorts
(Nature Publishing, 2018-04-19)It is well established that boys are born heavier and longer than girls, but it remains unclear whether birth size in twins is affected by the sex of their co-twin. We conducted an individual-based pooled analysis of 21 ... -
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 ... -
Differences in genetic and environmental variation in adult BMI by sex, age, time period, and region: an individual-based pooled analysis of 40 twin cohorts
(Elsevier, 2017-07-05)Background Genes and the environment contribute to variation in adult body mass index [BMI (in kg/m2)], but factors modifying these variance components are poorly understood. Objective We analyzed genetic and environmental ... -
Does the sex of one’s co-twin affect height and BMI in adulthood? A study of dizygotic adult twins from 31 cohorts
(Biomed Central, 2017-04-27)Background: The comparison of traits in twins from opposite-sex (OS) and same-sex (SS) dizygotic twin pairs is considered a proxy measure of prenatal hormone exposure. To examine possible prenatal hormonal influences on ... -
Educational attainment of same-sex and opposite-sex dizygotic twins: An individual-level pooled study of 19 twin cohorts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)Comparing twins from same- and opposite-sex pairs can provide information on potential sex differences in a variety of outcomes, including socioeconomic-related outcomes such as educational attainment. It has been suggested ... -
Genetic and environmental effects on body mass index from infancy to the onset of adulthood: an individual-based pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts participating in the COllaborative project of Development of Anthropometrical measures in Twins (CODATwins) study
(Elsevier, 2016-07-13)Background: Both genetic and environmental factors are known to affect body mass index (BMI), but detailed understanding of how their effects differ during childhood and adolescence is lacking. Objectives: We analyzed the ... -
