The present study is of the urban rural differences in BC incidence centres on anthropometric factors and body size at different time periods of life and their relationship to BC risk.
Information on body size at different periods of life was obtained using pictograms.
Although genetic covariance between body size at different ages has been demonstrated for many taxa (Kirkpatrick et al. 1990), such estimates are rare for fishes, especially in wild populations.
Although genetic correlations between body size at different ages are expected to be positive (Kirkpatrick et al. 1990; Carlson and Seamons 2008), the magnitude of genetic correlations we observed suggested that selection on adult length (Lmax) may result in considerable correlated responses of larval size and swimming performance.
The Million Women Study MWSS) is a prospective cohort study of women, mainly born in 1934-1948 and recruited in middle age from England and Scotland, which uses postal questionnaires to obtain information on various exposures of interest including reproductive history and body size at different ages [ 29].

Long term selections in laboratory cultures have resulted in divergent body sizes at different temperatures, in a way similar to that observed in natural populations [ 20- 23].
Furthermore, a total of nine different body sizes (pictogram) were shown to each subject to indicate their body sizes at different periods of life (at 10 years, 20 years and the period when the data were collected).
Genetic covariance between size and growth at different ages is likely due to pleiotropy, in which expression of single genes (e.g. those that code for growth factors) affect multiple traits (e.g. body sizes) at different ages (Cheverud et al. 1983).
As we have used multiple measures of body size at four different time points, we have ended up making multiple tests.
Body size indexes at different ages were collected in a detailed section of the questionnaire.
Previous studies have not reported on changes in childhood BMI in relation to later prostate cancer risk, likely due to a lack of repeated measurements of childhood body size available at different ages.
