Genotype by energy expenditure interaction and body composition traits: The Portuguese Healthy Family Study.

Heritability estimates ( h 2 ) presented in Table 3 were all highly significant ( P < 0.001), ranging from 0.21 (95% CI: 0.14, 0.37) for %TFAT to 0.34 (95% CI: 0.22, 0.45) for WC meaning that the phenotypic expression of BC traits is in part due to moderate-to-strong additive genetic factors, which is a compelling argument to pursue further specific analysis of their genetic architecture.
