Clinical trials: Genetic Risk Factors
Obesity, Childhood
Food Genetics Behavior Study
A genetic risk for obesity does not always translate to the development of obesity among children, which points to the presence of risk-modifying factors that likely relate to energy balance behaviors as key behavioral drivers.
