The economic consequences of obesity and overweight among adults in Quebec
Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology
Effects of neuromedin-β on caloric compensation, eating behaviours and habitual food intake
Effect of Implementation Intentions to Change Behaviour
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of implementation intentions on leisure-time physical activity, taking into account the stability of intention. At baseline (T0), 349 participants completed a psychosocial questionnaire and were randomly assigned to implementation intention or control condition. Three months after baseline assessment (T1), participants in the experimental group were asked to plan where, when, and how they would exer…
Prediction of daily fruit and vegetable consumption among overweight and obese individuals
A Simple Method to Assess Fruit and Vegetable Intake among Obese and Non-obese Individuals
Familial risk of high blood pressure in the Canadian population
Familial risk ratios for high blood pressure were estimated in a representative sample of the Canadian population. The sample consisted of 14,069 participants 7–69 years of age from 5,753 families participating in the 1981 Canada Fitness Survey. Resting systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures were adjusted for the effects of body mass index using regression procedures. Varying degrees of high blood pressure were defined as the 75th, 85…

Major gene effect on subcutaneous fat distribution in a sedentary population and its response to exercise training
Complex segregation analysis of baseline subcutaneous fat distribution and the change in response to exercise training (post-training minus baseline indices) was performed in a sample of 482 individuals from 99 Caucasian families who participated in the HERITAGE Family Study. The sum of skinfold (SF) thicknesses at eight sites, and the waist and hip circumferences were measured at baseline and after completing a 20-week exercise training program.…
Genetics of abdominal visceral fat levels
The purpose of this review is to explore the evidence accumulated thus far that suggests a genetic component to the observed variation in abdominal visceral fat (AVF) levels. The precise determination of AVF levels in humans is limited to methods such as computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging; thus, few studies have examined the role of genetic factors on this phenotype. Evidence from the Québec Family Study (QFS) and the HERITAGE…
Principal components analysis of morphological measures in the Québec family study
Principal components analysis was carried out on 13 morphological dimensions collected in the first phase of the Québec Family Study (weight, height, fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), body surface area, six skinfolds, arm and calf girths). The first four principal components (PCs) account for 85.9% of the total phenotypic variance in the anthropometric dimensions. The first PC has almost equal loadings on the 13 variables, indicating its role a…
Familial aggregation of subcutaneous fat patterning
Familial resemblance was examined for each of the principal components arising from an analysis of six skinfolds (triceps, biceps, subscapular, abdominal, suprailiac, and medial calf) measured in 1,237 participants of the Québec Family Study. Most of the phenotypic variance among the skinfolds (83%) was accounted for by the first two principal components. Examination of the skinfold loadings on each principal component, as well as intraindividual…
Familial aggregation of subcutaneous fat patterning
Cohabitation, activity level, and energy intake in parent‐child resemblance for selected biological traits
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 (PWC 150 ) derived from a cycle ergometer test also were determined in these subjects. Dependent variables were normalized through log 10 or …
Genetic and environmental sources of variation in physical fitness
The technique of path analysis was used to assess inherited and environmental variance components in physical fitness indicators measured in 1630 subjects from 375 families of French descent living in the greater Québec city area. For that purpose, submaximal power output (PWC150/kg), muscular endurance, muscular strength, reaction time and movement time were evaluated during a visit of the family to the laboratory. Inter-class correlations in va…
