Objective Obesity is a significant public health concern across the globe. Research
investigating epigenetic mechanisms related to obesity and obesity‐associated conditions …

Obesity is an important component of the pathophysiology of chronic diseases. Identifying
epigenetic modifications associated with elevated adiposity, including DNA methylation …

Background Obesity is a global public health concern linked to chronic diseases such as
cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Emerging evidence suggests that …

Background The prevalence of obesity and its related chronic diseases have been
increasing especially in Asian countries. Obesity-related genetic variants have been …

Obesity is associated with increased risk of several diseases and has become epidemic.
Obesity is highly heritable but the genetic variants identified by genome-wide association …

Objective Body mass index (BMI) serves as an important measurement of obesity and
adiposity, which are highly correlated with cardiometabolic diseases. Although high …

This study sought to examine the association between DNA methylation and body mass
index (BMI) and the potential of BMI-associated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites to …

Background Elevated adiposity is often posited by medical and public health researchers to
be a risk factor associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other diseases. These …

Background We conducted an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) on obesity in
healthy youth and young adults and further examined to what extent identified signals …

Background The mechanisms by which genetic variants, such as single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs), identified in genome-wide association studies act to influence body …
