description A study of the possible relationships between genetic factors and family environment with obesity in 540 adopted Danish adults showed a positive association between weight status (thin to obese) and the body-mass index of their biological (but not of their adoptive) parents. This association held across the full range of weight class, from very thin to very fat, indicating that genetics and not family environment influences the adult body-mass index and degree of fatness.(wz)
