First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving people personalized lifestyle advice based on their genetic test results (SNP testing) helps them lose more weight than standard advice. Overweight or obese Korean adults were followed for about 17 months. The goal was to see if tailoring diet and exercise plans to a person's genes leads to better weight control.
