Twin research: on the origin of healthy food consumption and physical activity
A Consortium of international twin studies
A Consortium of international twin studies
Twins & Healthy diet
Dietary data will be used to disentangle the genetic and the environmental influences underlying healthy eating. Foods will be analysed by portion size and grams |
Twins & Physical activity
Physical activity data will be used to evaluate the genetic and the environmental influences of physical activity behaviour. Data will be used to analyse the various influences on inactivity, leisure-time physical activity and exercise |
GWAS
Genotype data will be analyse in order to find any genes that might influence healthy eating or physical activity behaviour |
Twins Study
We will use a classical twin study design for disentangling the genetic from the environmental influences on healthy food consumption and physical activity behaviour |
