Genome-wide association scan meta-analysis identifies three Loci influencing adiposity and fat distribution

Cecilia M. Lindgren, +155 more
- 01 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: By focusing on anthropometric measures of central obesity and fat distribution, a meta-analysis of 16 genome-wide association studies informative for adult waist circumference and waist–hip ratio identified three loci implicated in the regulation of human adiposity.

Genome-Wide Association Scan Meta-Analysis Identifies Three Loci Influencing Adiposity and Fat Distribution

Cecilia M. Lindgren, +140 more
TL;DR: Vandervell Foundation and Wellcome Trust (068545/Z/02, GR072960 as discussed by the authors, GR076113, GR069224, GR086596/Z /08/Z)
Journal ArticleDOI

Replication and extension of genome-wide association study results for obesity in 4923 adults from northern Sweden

TL;DR: Six of the previously associated obese-risk loci are statistically replicated and the results suggest that the weight-inducing effects of these variants are explained largely by increased adipose accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abdominal and gynoid fat mass are associated with cardiovascular risk factors in men and women.

TL;DR: Abdominal fat mass is strongly independently associated with CVD risk factors in the present study, whereas the ratio of gynoid to total fat mass was negatively associated with risk factors for CVD.
Journal ArticleDOI

n−3 Fatty acids are positively associated with peak bone mineral density and bone accrual in healthy men: the NO2 Study

TL;DR: It is shown that n-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, are positively associated with bone mineral accrual and, thus, with peak BMD in young men.
