Preferred term

epistatic effects of genes on obesity  

Definition

  • There are many complex human diseases and traits that are determined by multiple genetic, environmental, and behavioral influences. The global epidemic of obesity results from a combination of genetic susceptibility, increased availability of high-energy foods, and decreased requirement for physical activity in modern society.
