Indian Obesity Study: Lifestyle Solutions May Help, New Genetic Test

Scientists have found that for Indians, lifestyle changes like diet and exercise might work better than other methods to avoid obesity, especially if they have a higher risk because of their genes.

Obesity in India is often different than in other places.

The study also showed that a test could predict if a child will likely become obese.

The study found that when people with a higher risk of obesity made lifestyle changes, they lost weight well.

However, they tended to gain it back faster.
