What is Obesidad about?

The document analyzes the genetic and environmental influences on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference in children aged 8-11 years old growing up during increases in pediatric obesity. It finds substantial heritability for BMI and waist circumference at 77% each. While the genetic influence on waist circumference is largely shared with BMI, there is also a significant independent genetic effect accounting for 40% of the influence.
