Genetic obesity and health test

Obesity and other diseases develop as a result of the interaction of several different factors, which may be genetic or environmental. The possibility of finding out what information our genes carry has represented a huge step forward in the area of preventive medicine, given that it provides us with a basis when modifying environmental factors, such as diet or certain habits, with the purpose of preventing the development of future conditions we are genetically predisposed to.

It also represents a source of information when designing a personalized plan to fight against excess weight, since the analysis of certain genes tells us about how the various processes involved in weight gain take place in each patient: satiety level, fat metabolization, physical activity metabolization, etc.
