The influence of genetic factors on the variation of self-reported physical in/activity, dietary habits and sleep patterns was evaluated in 50 large and extended pedigrees, including 372 Roma individuals (147 males and 225 females) living in the Greater Bilbao (Spain). Information characterizing environmental variables (physical in/activity, dietary habits and sleep patterns) was obtained by personal interview using a standardized questionnaire. Univariate quantitative genetic analyses were conducted employing the SOLAR computer program.After accounting for significant covariates effects, heritability estimates were, in general, significant (p< 0.01), with moderate values ranging from 0.20–0.39. Practice of sports, walking activity and time spent eating the main meal of the day were the variables most influenced by additive genetic effects, showing heritability estimates of 0.39, 0.37 and 0.35, respectively. In conclusion, evidence of a slight but significant genetic contribution on variation of physical in/activity, sleep patterns and dietary habits has been found in this Spanish Roma population.
