Gemellological Study on Lifestyle Factors Affecting Physiological Aging in Adult Twins - Comparison of Health Conditions in 690 Paris of Twins -
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.10 Vol.10】
General medical examinations were conducted for 105 pairs of adult twins aged over 50. These examinations included various clinical tests, physical capacity tests and lifestyle survey. This report focused on the results of serum lipids and blood pressure.
The monozygotic pairs in which both twins were hypertensive showed higher serum concentration in total cholesterol, phospholipid, β-lipoprotein, Non-HDL cholesterol, et. al., than the monozygotic pairs in which both twins had normal blood pressure.
In the monozygotic pairs in which one twin was hypertensive and the other one had normal blood pressure, there was not any significant difference in serum lipids concentrations.
In mailed questionnaire survey on 690 twin pairs, pair-wise concordance rate of cancer was extremely low (1.7%).
