  • GWAS of allometric body-shape indices in UK Biobank identifies loci suggesting associations with morphogenesis, organogenesis, adrenal cell renewal and cancer - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34021172

    ABSTRACT: Genetic studies have examined body-shape measures adjusted for body mass index (BMI), while allometric indices are additionally adjusted for height. We performed the first genome-wide association study of A Body Shape Index (ABSI), Hip Index (HI) and the new Waist-to-Hip Index and compared these with traditional indices, using data from the UK Biobank Resource for 219,872 women and 186,825 men with white British ancestry and Bayesian linear mixed-models (BOLT-LMM). One to two thirds of the loci identified for allometric body-shape indices were novel. Most prominent was rs72959041 variant in RSPO3 gene, expressed in visceral adipose tissue and regulating adrenal cell renewal. Highly ranked were genes related to morphogenesis and organogenesis, previously additionally linked to can

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • Mediterranean diet pattern Moderate

    Mediterranean diet emphasizes plant-based fats and whole grains; evidence-based for reducing visceral fat and improving metabolic markers

    Emphasize vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, olive oil, fish; limit red meat and refined carbohydrates

Discuss with your doctor

  • metabolic syndrome screening and abdominal adiposity risk management Moderate

    Central adiposity predisposition associated with this SNP warrants assessment of metabolic dysfunction and prevention strategies

    Request fasting glucose, insulin, lipid panel; discuss lifestyle and monitoring plans

Exercise

  • regular aerobic exercise Moderate

    Aerobic activity specifically reduces visceral adiposity and improves metabolic markers including insulin sensitivity

    150 min moderate-intensity weekly or 75 min vigorous-intensity weekly

Screening

  • waist circumference Moderate

    ZBTB38 rs1077181 A allele strongly associated with increased central adiposity independent of BMI

    Annual measurement; alert if >=40 inches (male) or >=35 inches (female)
