Psychological and behavioral responses to genetic test results indicating increased risk of obesity: does the causal pathway from gene to obesity matter?.

Public health genomics - 1 Jan 2010

Sanderson S C, Persky S, Michie S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Common obesity-associated genetic variants may exert their effects through increasing eating or decreasing metabolism. Such differences might influence individual responses to obesity genetic test results. METHODS: This was an experimental analogue study: 191 participants were asked t...
