There are genes that can contribute to obesity, but obesity in itself is not purely genetic.
What diabetes caused by?
A genetic predisposition, or obesity.
How can obesity be genetic?
Obesity can be genetic because of variations in specific genes that control appetite, metabolism, and fat storage. These genetic variations can affect how the body processes food and stores energy, leading to a higher likelihood of developing obesity. Family history and genetic predisposition play a significant role in determining an individual's risk of obesity.
Why can't scientists be sure whether obesity is caused by a gene?
Because obesity is caused by both genetic and environmental
Is obesity a genetic problem?
There are many reasons behind obesity and genes are one of them. According to research, the percentage of obesity that can be attributed to genetics varies, depending on the population examined, from 6% to 85%. Thus, it can be concluded that it is a genetic problem in quite a few cases.

Can obesity in mothers lead to autism in children?
No, obesity in mothers cannot lead to autism in children. Although we don't know the exact causes of autism it is largely due to genetic factors and genetic mutation, there is some evidence to link certain environmental factors such as use of certain antidepressants with autism but it's not conclusive. There is nothing to suggest obesity in the mother would lead to autism in her child.
Can babies have obesity?
Yes, babies can experience obesity, although it is less common than in older children and adults. Infant obesity is typically defined by a high weight-for-length ratio or excessive body fat for their age. Factors contributing to obesity in infants include overfeeding, lack of physical activity, and genetic predispositions. Early intervention is crucial, as childhood obesity can lead to long-term health issues.
Is a gastric reduction always necessary?
It depends on whether or not your obesity is genetic. Look at your family history to determine if obesity is becoming enough of a problem to require a gastric bypass. There are other options too, like the HCG diet.
