*
High and low cut at gender-specific median of each variable (LDL and %BF) except for HDL which use a clinical cut point (HDL < 40 mg/dL).
The genetic (A), common environment (C) and individual specific environment (E) components for each phenotype were similar to those from univariate genetic models, but they were not identical because bivariate analysis included covariance between two variables examined.
