Summary
This study looked at whether a person's genetic risk for obesity affects how much weight they lose on a diet. Researchers recruited 223 overweight adults with either very high or very low genetic risk scores for high body mass index (BMI). Half received diet coaching for 6 months, while the other half got no advice. The goal was to see if genetics can help predict who will benefit most from dietary changes.
