Resemblance of nutrient intakes in three generations of parent-offspring pairs: Tehran lipid and Glucose Study.

ABSTRACT: The degree of maintaining nutrient intake patterns, conformed in the family, for offspring into adulthood is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between nutrient intakes in three younger-middle-older generations of Tehranian adults by sex. Of individuals who participated in 2012-15 phase of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study, 1286 families (4685 subjects), who had at least two members of the family with complete data in two or three generations were entered in this cross-sectional study.
