Genetic influences on diet in young Swedish adults: a twin study

This large-scale twin study provides a comprehensive overview of genetic and environmental influences on dietary behavior in young adults, showing substantial genetic and nonshared environmental contributions across diverse dietary traits. These results provide a foundation for future research on diet-disease relationships and may support the development of prevention and intervention strategies, including emerging precision-nutrition approaches.

Abstract

This large-scale twin study provides a comprehensive overview of genetic and environmental influences on dietary behavior in young adults, showing substantial genetic and nonshared environmental contributions across diverse dietary traits. These results provide a foundation for future research on diet-disease relationships and may support the development of prevention and intervention strategies, including emerging precision-nutrition approaches.
