Familial associations of adiposity: findings from a cross-sectional study of 12,181 parental-offspring trios from Belarus.
It is suggested that maternal adiposity has a stronger association with offspring adiposity than does paternal adiposity. Furthermore, a recent small study reported gender assortment in parental-offspring adiposity associations. We aimed to examine these associations in one of the largest studies to...
