During the past half-century the prevalence of obesity in developed countries has increased greatly. Such short-term changes in prevalence must be environmentally determined, but genes can mediate response to environmental change, for example, through variable gene penetrance and expression. Obesity differences between birth cohorts complicate the interpretation of phenotypic comparisons between generations that span periods of change. Genetic segregation analyses of the body mass index in 618 Pima Indian nuclear families (2 generations) identified recessive major gene inheritance, which is the same pattern of transmission that has been found in several other populations. However, within-birth-cohort analyses of siblings (one generation) un...
