Abstract excerpt

Common obesity is a multifactorial trait that lies at the interface between the biology of body energy regulation and the environment. Obesity involves genetic predisposition but also metabolic, hormonal, behavioural, social and cultural aspects. According to some estimates 40 to 70 percent of the variation in obesity-related phenotypes is heritable. Mutations in a single gene cause only about 5% of cases. The...
