Deregulation of energy intake is a major contributor to the high rates of overweight and obesity in Brazil, with more than 50% of adults in most major cities affected, according to a national survey from 2021. Addressing this issue requires urgent improvements in the quality, diversity, and balance of the Brazilian dietary patterns. To better understand the genetic underpinnings of energy…
Introduction: Effective weight control and body composition rely heavily on regulating energy intake. In this context, it is crucial to study polymorphisms in genes that govern the complex interplay between energy intake and body weight. The polygenic risk score (PRS) has emerged as a robust method that combines the effects of multiple genetic variants to estimate the overall risk associa…
