Mapping the behavioural causes of weight change variability with genetic lottery
Obesity is a heritable chronic condition, costing 2% GDP worldwide. Many obesity treatments - behavioural, pharmacological, and surgical have been developed. Intriguingly, people’s responses to treatments vary widely - some may lose a lot of weight whereas others may even gain weight! To predict such weight change variability, close to 200 measures have been proposed in the past. The measures can be organised into a PEBBL framework across five domains – Psychosocial, Environment, Behavioural, Biology, and Life quality. Still, there are too many measures to be used as predictors or intervention targets. To move the field forward, we propose a novel 3-step OBECAUSE pipeline consisting of…
