Coming out of the "suspect"
Over the years, many scientific studies have shown that gene and obesity among inextricably linked.
Oxford University and medical school researchers on the peninsula United Kingdom near 3.9 million Caucasian gene study found that a "FTO" gene increases the risk of obesity. Moreover, this gene in the widespread presence of the object. 47% of the object that a copy of the gene, 16% have two copies.
The report said, and without this gene compared with two "FTO" gene copy of obesity rates higher than 70% of the average weight is better than the former nearly 3 kg.
The report also said that this gene influence in people at the age of 7 can be observed.
Theoretical impact
Study reports that, although the cause of obesity is a complex one, eat too much bad food and exercise too little is one of them, but apparently innate factors in influencing people to obesity to play important role in this important function of a gene is affecting the human body fat content.
The report also said that the improvement of lifestyle remains reducing fat important method, however, their research results explain why some obese obesity is more difficult than others to successfully lose weight, but these are influence for gene. Mysteries of the surviving
Although this study confirms what genes affect people become obese, but the scientific community in solving obesity issues are a long way to go.
"This is the first one was found and obesity-associated gene," participation in the study of Oxford University's McCarthy said, "but the story does not end here. ”
McCarthy said that although the existence of this gene could explain why the human body will have the excess fat, but still do not know how the genes affect people become obese.
However, researchers also said that they hoped that the impact of obesity gene found to promote research on the prevention and treatment of obesity.
