Still doesn't make much sense to use a secondary trait like educational attainment (58% heritability at highest) over a primary one like IQ (>80% heritability).
Most of these phenotypes strike me as pretty questionable. Maybe I missed something, but how well does BMI measured at age 45-50 correlate with BMI at reproductive age?
Wouldn't a far simpler approach be to measure allelic frequency at regions near GWAS QTLs in multiple generations?
