Abstract excerpt

Obesity is a complex disease resulting from the interaction between a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Research conducted over the past 20 years in the field of genetic epidemiology has contributed to increase our understanding of the genetic basis of obesity. It is now clearly established that overweight and obesity aggregate in families. Studies have shown that the prevalence of obesity is 2 to 8...
