Age effect on the shared etiology of glycemic traits and serum lipids: evidence from a Chinese twin study

ConclusionAcross the whole adulthood, genetic influences were consistently important for GLU, TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C, and age may affect the shared genetic influences between glycemic traits and serum lipids. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of age in the interactions of genes related to glycemic traits and serum lipids.
