โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

As shown in 7,230 parentโ€child pairs (6,726 biological and 504 adoptive), adoptive parents and their adopted children tend to resemble each other in height, weight and fatfolds to an extent paralleling height, weight and fatfold resemblances of natural (biological) parents and their children. Accordingly, the magnitudes of parentโ€child resemblances commonly given may not be indicative of the extent of heritability of stature, weight and subcutaneous fat.
