What people are saying
Many discussions articulate insights from the article, such as the idea that thinness is not solely due to lifestyle choices but is influenced by genetics, with statements like, 'Thinness isn't the virtue that people like to think it is' and 'It's more in the genes than what we think!' This language highlights a shift in perception about body weight, where terms indicating social or moral superiority are challenged, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of health and genetics.
The majority of discussions reflect an understanding and acceptance of the study's findings regarding genetics and body weight.
Participants express high interest in the implications of genetic research related to both thinness and obesity.
While many posts reference the study's findings, the level of deep analysis varies, indicating moderate engagement.
There's a strong belief that this research can influence perspectives on obesity and thinness, highlighting the genetic component.
Abstract in brief
- The study examined the heritability of thinness and found it to be similar to that of severe obesity, indicating that genetics play a crucial role in both ends of the body weight spectrum.
- A genome-wide analysis identified ten genetic loci linked to obesity that also relate to thinness, suggesting that different genetic factors may influence these two extremes of body weight.
- The findings highlighted the potential for using data from individuals at the extremes of weight (thin vs. obese) to better understand genetics related to weight regulation, which could help in developing new obesity treatments.

@lcpaille @ThatPHCBoy I said he’s never weighed more than 170 even when he was unable to train and chose not to eat well. I was giving an example. The idea that people can only be thin if they’re athletic or eat healthy is absurd and proven to be untrue. https://t.co/R68irnoXtd

@snellican @LololeeCR @ManofsteelH7 @JakeAndHoops Yup, despite uncertainty on specifics, studies have shown genetic effects on food intake, metabolism, & activity levels.

Why we always have a friend who eats tons and tons but never puts on a single pound? Turns out they may have some 'blessed' genes
Why is it she never gains weight? The variation in weight within a shared environment is largely attributable to genetic factors. Whilst many genes/loci confer susceptibility to obesity, little is known about the genetic architecture of healthy thinness. https://t.co/YSC5RSSBJY
