PURPOSE: Physical activity unquestionably maintains and improves health; however,
physical activity levels globally are low and not rising despite all the resources devoted to …

Twin and family studies show a strong contribution of genetic factors to physical activity (PA)
assessed by either self-report or accelerometers. PA heritability is around 43% across the …

Leisure sedentary behaviours are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease,
but whether this relationship is causal is unknown. The aim of this study is to identify genetic …

Background: Socioeconomic status (SES) is a potent environmental determinant of health.
To our knowledge, no assessment of genotype-environment interaction has been conducted …

Introduction Early motor development has been found to be a predictor of exercise behavior
in children and adolescents, but whether this reflects a causal effect or confounding by …

Background: Socioeconomic Status (SES) is a potent environmental determinant of health.
To our knowledge, no assessment of genotype-environment interaction has been conducted …

The benefits of physical activity (PA) on health and fitness are well known. It has become
apparent from studies of heritability that there is a considerable genetic component to PA …

Study Objectives: Previous studies suggest the presence of familial aggregation of
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults. However, similar data on childhood OSA are …

The objective of this study was to estimate variance components related to imprinting for
carcass traits and physiochemical characteristics in Japanese Black cattle. The carcass …

Child-driven genetic factors can contribute to negative parenting and may increase the risk
of being maltreated. Experiencing childhood maltreatment may be partly heritable, but …
