AI synopsis

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.

AgreementModerate agreement

The majority of discussions reflect an understanding and acceptance of the study's findings regarding genetics and body weight.

InterestHigh interest

Participants express high interest in the implications of genetic research related to both thinness and obesity.

EngagementModerate engagement

While many posts reference the study's findings, the level of deep analysis varies, indicating moderate engagement.

ImpactHigh impact

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.

El equipo de Farooqi, con GWAS, muestra que los muy obesos tienen genes proclives al ⬆️de peso, que no tienen los muy delgados. Estos, por el contrario, tienen genes específicos no proclives a la ganancia. El control del peso no solo es fuerza voluntad!! https://t.co/G39uk8ANZf https://t.co/L4Sy2nV9Vi

@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

Genetik önemlidir. Ne #obezite ne de incelik SADECE "irade" ile açıklanamaz Bu çalışma ince ve sağlıklı insanların genetiğini araştırıyor ve polgenik bir kalıtım saptıyor. Bu ne istersen ye demek değil. Hastalık farklı bir durum, diyet burada şart https://t.co/hQm1hUOtwV

Healthy thin people are generally thin because they have a lower burden of genes that increase a person’s chances of being #overweight https://t.co/4jPtcGifk0

The thinness gene in not an excuse for clinicians or patients to ignore the real health dangers of obesity. Neither being underweight for that matter. This study seems to me to have included sarcopenic underweight as ‘healthy’. https://t.co/AcXiGeZzVL.
