Exploring Dietary Intake in Adults with Severe Obesity and Associations with the FTO rs9939609 Genotypes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few have studied the associations between rs9939609 genotypes in the obesity candidate locus FTO and energy and nutrient intakes and meal frequencies in adults with severe obesity. We are unaware of studies that have assessed adherence to key dietary recommendations in this population, at least in Norway. Increased knowledge of genotype associations with dietary factors could improve personalized obesity therapy.

Objectives

The present study aimed to explore how the rs9939609 genotypes associate with dietary variables and adherence to key dietary recommendations in a sample of adults with severe obesity.

Methods

A cross-sectional observation study designed to have similar numbers of participants with genotypes TT, AT, and AA included 100 patients (70
