New research reveals that while obesity increases health risks like diabetes and heart disease, genetic differences can explain why some obese individuals remain healthy. A study involving over 450,000 people identified 266 genetic variants that may uncouple obesity from disease risk. The findings suggest that obesity is not a single condition but consists of distinct subtypes, each with unique health implications. The research emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factors and the need for further studies in diverse populations. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
