Genetic polymorphisms in genes related to risk‐taking behaviours predicting body mass index trajectory among Mexican American adolescents

Obesity is associated with multiple health problems and often originates in childhood. The purpose is to investigate the associations of genetic polymorphisms in genes related to risk‐taking behaviours with body mass index (BMI) trajectory over adolescence among Mexican Americans.
