| The basis of the family relations data within Lifelines consists of information from the municipal registries (Basisregistratie Personen (BRP)). Based on this information, researchers from the [[ugli|UGLI-consortium]] have optimized the family relations using recoded surname data (for privacy purposes) and data from questionnaires ([[family_composition|Family composition]]). The process of this optimization has been documented and can be found here: {{ :lifelines_familyreconstruction.pdf | Family relations reconstruction}}. | The basis of the family relations data within Lifelines consists of information from the municipal registries (Basisregistratie Personen (BRP)).

| The family id is used to identify participants that are part of the same family. Couples who share a household, but don't have children, also receive a family id. This provides the opportunity to work on research involving environmental factors.

| + | ===== Twins and Triplets ===== | ||
| + | Based on birth and family records, the following numbers were identified within Lifelines: | ||
| + | * Twins: 632 pairs (1,264 unique individuals) | ||
| + | * Monozygotic (MZ): 152 pairs | ||
| + | * Dizygotic (DZ): 350 pairs | ||
| + | * Zygosity undetermined: 130 pairs | ||
| + | * Triplets: 6 sets (18 unique individuals). As far as could be ascertained, none of these sets included monozygotic pairs or trios. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The classification of twin zygosity was determined using a combination of DNA data, sex, and questionnaire responses (see Table 1). | ||
