Objective: Although differences in body composition parameters among African American
(AA), Hispanic American (HA) and European American (EA) children are well documented …

The thrifty genotype hypothesis initiated speculation that feast and famine cycling throughout
history may have led to group‐specific alterations of the human genome, thereby …

Objective: To investigate the role of genetic admixture in explaining phenotypic variation in
obesity‐related traits in a sample of African‐American women (n= 145) and to determine …

Aerobic fitness and adiposity are each independently associated with health outcomes
among children, although the relationship between these two variables is unclear. Our …

Previous studies have shown a relationship between health‐related phenotypes and the
degree of African, European, or Native American genetic admixture, indicating that there …

Very few studies have comprehensively defined the genetic and environmental influences
on body fat storage in the arms and legs and their association with diabetes, especially in …

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate whether differences in admixture in
African-American (AFA) and Hispanic-American (HA) adult women are associated with …

Over 80% of African-American (AA) women are overweight or obese. A large racial disparity
between AA and European-Americans (EA) in obesity rates exists among women, but …

The effect of fat mass on bone mineral content (BMC) in children is not clear, particularly
when considering a diverse population. Ancestral genetic admixture may be an approach to …
