Weight Increase in Twins in the First Year of Life
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Abstract
A study of weight increase in the first year of life has been carried out on a sample of 50 MZ and 50 DZ twin pairs of both sexes, as compared to a similar sample of singletons. The results show that weight increase, as examined at different stages in the first year of life, undergoes significant hereditary conditioning (H ≃ 0.60).
