(A) Path diagram of a bivariate Cholesky model for 1 member of a twin pair. Additive genetic (r_a) and nonshared environmental (r_e) correlations between BMI/WC and the snacking behavior pattern and 95% CIs. The covariance of the traits was decomposed into additive genetic (A) and nonshared environmental (E) effects. All models were adjusted for age and sex; n = 527 monozygotic, 470 same-sex dizygotic, and 503 opposite-sex dizygotic pairs.
