Impact of informing overweight individuals about the role of genetics in obesity: an online experimental study.

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2013

Lippa Natalie C, Sanderson Saskia C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Increasing public awareness of obesity genetics could have beneficial or harmful effects on overweight individuals. This study examined the impact of genetic information on weight-related cognitions as well as interest in personalized genetic information about obesity among overweight individuals. METHODS: Online survey respondents (n = 655) were randomly assigned to read either genetic,...
