What people are saying
Several participants highlight the genetic component of obesity, referencing specific heritability percentages (40-80%) and discussing implications for treatment approaches. Phrases like 'major challenge' and 'obesity genetic risk' demonstrate the seriousness of the topic and the contributors' active engagement with the research findings. The tone varies between informative and critical, with some users passionately debating aspects of the findings and their application to societal views on obesity.
The majority of discussions express a general agreement with the findings presented in the publication regarding the genetic basis of obesity.
There is a high level of interest as participants frequently share additional sources and engage with the data presented in the article.
Discussions vary in depth; while many simply reference the article, some posts show a more profound engagement by contextualizing the findings within broader conversations about obesity.
Many users perceive the research as significantly impactful for understanding obesity, emphasizing its relevance for treatment and prevention strategies.
Abstract in brief
- There is a significant genetic influence on human obesity, with heritability accounting for 40-50% of body weight variability, and even higher (60-80%) in those with severe obesity.
- Understanding the different heritability across BMI categories is crucial for obesity research, as fat distribution and metabolic traits exhibit varying levels of heritability (30-55%).
- Monogenic obesity is linked to defects in over 15 specific genes primarily affecting the leptin-melanocortin signaling pathway, while common DNA variants contribute significantly to BMI heritability, complicating obesity prevention and management efforts.

The heritability of obesity is between 30 and 80% depending on the study and methodology. She also does not claim that diet doesn’t impact weight. Beware of ideologues. https://t.co/RTvuRcZB3T https://t.co/BNok6DZGYH

@calleymeans @askdrfatima There's a decent case to be made that our environment is so obesogenic that 40-50% of observed variation comes down to genetics (https://t.co/5uwP19bR81). And she's right that it's a neuroendocrine problem. We've known about leptin resistance for like 30 years now.

@MiriamBerchuk @MichelleCardel @EmilyDhurandhar @sguyenet You had me go down the rabbit hole. I enjoyed this one, which I previously had not read: BMI is highly heritable (60-80%) among those with obesity and severe obesity. https://t.co/zacBT6ZGXF
"Diminishing allele effect size is observed as the number of obesity-associated variants expands, with most BMI-⬆️or⬇️decreasing alleles contributing only a few grams or less to body weight" https://t.co/kme0tTLOwn
@SatyaDash009 @JimJohnsonSci @StephenORahilly @JohnSpeakman4 @raphaels7 To add to the NB discussion A 2021 OBESITY paper by the great Claude Bouchard suggesting that “ Heritability varies across different classes of BMI” describing a heritability estimate for “individuals with obesity and severe obesity of about 60%-80%.” https://t.co/i7DNTTyhNf
