monogenic effects that result in obesity  

Définition(s)

  • As human genes have not changed appreciably over the last few decades, the recent increase in the prevalence of obesity has been attributed to obesigenic environmental and lifestyle factors, namely, excessive caloric intake and reduced physical activity. However, the significant variability between humans in their propensity to gain weight suggests that susceptibility to obesigenic environmental challenges is largely determined by genetic factors.
