The genetic test for weight management determines eight SNPs* in seven genes.
Genetic characteristics determine individual risk of gaining excess weight when exposed to unfavourable environment (such as overeating, insufficient exercise) and body’s response to weight loss diet and physical effort. The information obtained from the results of the genetic test is beneficial for both those who wish to lose weight and those who have not yet encountered any problems with weight or health. Being aware of one’s risks and predispositions facilitates making the right decisions for life.
A single gene may contain neutral and risk alleles. Several genes with risk alleles increase the likelihood of manifestation of particular risk, especially when paired with sedentary lifestyle and positive energy balance (food intake exceeds energy consumption).
