Risk factors for the development of obesity • Genetics • twin studies • animals can be bred for fatness • there are inbred strains of mice and rats that are spontaneously obese • whole genome wide genetic studies have identified several genes associated with obesity • Environment • Animals on a high fat diet gain weight • Human who live in other cultures gain weight when they move to the US or other places with a Western diet • Animals born to obese mothers tend to also become obese • Exposure to certain environmental agents (bisphenol A) increases the risk of obesity • Amount of sleep affects weight gain

Short sleep duration increases BMI From: Taheri et al, PLoS Med 3:e62, 2004
Sleep and Obesity • Elevations of BMI are observed in subjects who sleep fewer than • 6 h per night • Childhood sleeping problems predict adult BMI • Experimental acute sleep curtailment increases hunger and appetite • especially for energy rich foods • -Mice in which circadian rhythms are disrupted become obese • More than 33% of adolescents get less sleep than recommended
Major obstacles to obesity control • Genetic programming to store energy • Abundance of energy-dense foods • Poor adherence to calorie restriction • Poor sleep • Sedentary lifestyle • Inadequate built environment to promote physical activity • Cost of exercise programs/equipment • No effective drugs to combat obesity • High cost and risks of bariatric surgery Cancer Prev Res; 5(11); 1260–72.
