Genetic influences in childhood obesity: recent progress and recommendations for experimental designs.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Apr 2012

Fernandez J R, Klimentidis Y C, Dulin-Keita A, Casazza K

Abstract excerpt

The increasing prevalence of pediatric obesity around the world has become an area of scientific interest because of public health concern. Although since early stages of the lifespan body weight might be heavily influenced by an individual's behavior, epidemiological research highlights the involvement of genetic influences contributing to variation in fat accumulation and thus body composition.
