Journal ArticleDOI

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

Karri Silventoinen, +112 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the genetic and environmental contributions to BMI variation from infancy to early adulthood and the ways they differ by sex and geographic regions representing high (North America and Australia), moderate (Europe), and low levels (East Asia) of obesogenic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and environmental influences on height from infancy to early adulthood: An individual-based pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts

Aline Jelenkovic, +107 more
- 23 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: Comparing geographic-cultural regions, genetic variance was greatest in North-America and Australia and lowest in East-Asia, but the relative proportion of genetic variation was roughly similar across these regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of an A1C and Fasting Capillary Blood Glucose Test for Screening Newly Diagnosed Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes Defined by an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test in Qingdao, China

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated the performance of A1C and fasting capillary blood glucose (FCG) tests as mass screening tools for diabetes and pre-diabetes, as determined by the standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and environmental variation in educational attainment: an individual-based analysis of 28 twin cohorts.

Karri Silventoinen, +86 more
- 29 Jul 2020 - 
TL;DR: Both genetic and environmental factors shared by co-twins have an important influence on individual differences in educational attainment, and the effect of genetic factors on educational attainment has decreased from the cohorts born before to those born after the 1950s.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Karri Silventoinen, +116 more
TL;DR: The heritability of BMI decreased and differences in the sets of genes affecting BMI in men and women increased from young adulthood to old age, despite large differences in mean BMI and variances in BMI.
