Tlie Estimation of the Heritabilityof Antihropometric Measurements

environmental components in the variability of anthropometric measurements were studied in 54 twin pairs. Thirty pairs of monozygotic (MZ) and 24 pairs of dizygotie (DZ) twins were investigated to estimate the role of genetic, environmental arid hereditary factors determininganthropometriemeasurementseomprising body weight, standing height, sitting height, knee height, arm span, chest cireumference aiid biiliac diameter, Within-pair variance for all the measurements were
