Age-dependent nongenetic influences of birth weight and adult body fat on insulin sensitivity in twins
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › peer-review
We hypothesized a nongenetic influence of birth weight (BW) and twin and zygosity status on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry determined adult total and regional body composition and a quantitative equal, although independent, importance of adult body composition and BW for insulin sensitivity.
