Abstract
⺠Genetic and environmental influences on residential walkability of twins were examined. ⺠In twins 18-24.9 years, residential walkability was influenced by common environment factors. ⺠In twins 25+ years, residential walkability was influenced by unique environment factors. ⺠There was a small genetic effect on residential walkability in both age groups. ⺠These findings confirm the importance of environmental factors in residential walkability.
