DOIAbstract
<p>Values reflect heritability estimates (95% confidence interval). Model in the Generation R Study: weight (SDS) = β0+β1 * mid-parental weight (SDS). Here the slope ‘β1’ is equal to the heritability ‘h<sup>2</sup>’ <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0039901#pone.0039901-Galton1" target="_blank">[7]</a>. Prenatally weight is estimated fetal weight (SDS). Postnatal growth is additionally adjusted for gestational age at birth. Model in the Netherlands Twin Register: Full twin model with additive genetic (A), shared environmental (C) and non-shared environmental (E) factors.</p
