Improving fruit and vegetable intake attenuates the genetic association with long-term weight gain

Whether changes in fruit and vegetable intake can modify the effect of genetic susceptibility to obesity on long-term changes in BMI and body weight are uncertain. We analyzed the interactions of changes in total and specific fruit and vegetable intake with genetic susceptibility to obesity in relation to changes in BMI and body weight. We calculated a genetic risk score on the basis of 77 BMI-associated loci to determine the genetic...
