Is it true that genetics accounts for roughly 40 to 70 percent of the variation in body weight between people?

Unclear. Several sources indicate genetics accounts for a substantial share of variation in body weight, with one popular article citing a 50 to 80 percent range, but none of the retrieved items states the specific 40 to 70 percent figure the claim asserts.
