在一项对256个双胞胎家庭的研究中，身高、体重和合并皮褶测量的中父母-成年儿子相关性分别为0.67、0.47和0.23。相应的中父母-成年女儿相关系数分别为0.63、0.42和0.24。中亲生长后代的相关性最高的身高，体重，合并皮褶测量和无关紧要。这些数据以及双胞胎和兄弟姐妹之间的相似性使我们得出结论，身高和体重的变化有显着的遗传贡献，但身体肥胖似乎主要由环境因素决定。
In a study of 256 families, among whom were twins, midparent-adult son correlations for height, weight, and combined skinfold measurements were 0.67, 0.47, and 0.23 respectively. The corresponding midparent-adult daughter correlations were 0.63, 0.42, and 0.24. Midparent-growing offspring correlations were highest for height, less for weight, and insignificant for combined skinfold measurements. These data and the resemblances found between twins and siblings led us to conclude that there is a significant genetic contribution to the variation of height and weight, but that body fatness appears largely to be determined by environmental factors.
