Most studies have attempted to resolve the population variance of a specific obesity phenotype into genetic, environmental and unknown (or residual) effects. In principle, the total observed phenotypic variance, Vp may be considered to be due to the sum of genetic variance (Vg), shared environmental variance (Vc) and an unknown residual (unshared environmental) variance (Ve) such that Vp ¼ Vg þ Vc þ Ve. The percentage genetic inheritability of the trait in question is represented by the term Vg/Vp.
