ObjectiveWe examined how BMI, BMI trajectories, and BMI fluctuation around these trajectories in adolescence were correlated with BMI trajectories and BMI fluctuation in early adulthood, as well as the genetic basis of these associations. MethodsBMI data from Finnish twins (N=1379, 48% males) were collected at ages 11.5, 14, 17.5, 24, and 37 years. BMI trajectories in adolescence (11.5-17.5 years) and early adulthood (17.5-37 years) were estimated using linear mixed-effect models. BMI fluctuati...
