✦ Synopsis
Activity level and energy intake were estimated from 3-day records, including a weekend day, in parents and children from families of French descent. Subcutaneous fat from the summation of six skinfolds, fasting serum triglycerides, total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and submaximal power output (PWCIs,J derived from a cycle ergometer test also were determined in these subjects. Dependent variables were normalized through log,, or square-root transformation, and scores were adjusted by generation for the effects of age and gender. Correlations with residual scores were performed with pairs of natural parents and child (N 2 1057) and pairs of foster parent and adopted child (N 2 283). Coefficients were generally little
