Gene-environment interactions in obesity
Conference - London, United Kingdom
It has become clear that there are large individual differences in the responsiveness to well-defined energy balance manipulations to control obesity. Overfeeding as well as negative energy balance protocols indicate that the response to standardized experimental treatments is strongly influenced by genetic background. However, testing gene-environment interaction is a relatively new field. This event will discuss identifying the genetic and environmental risk factors (lifestyle and diet) for obesity and the evidence for gene-environment interaction will be examined. This event will be an idea setting to find out what is new in the field, to network and to meet the experts.
