   Mumbai: About 35% to 40% children from all over the world   
   inherit obesity from parents, says a recent research undertaken   
   by University of Sussex.   
      
   This research is very much relevant to Indian population as   
   around 30 million people in the country are obese, medical   
   experts say. The research had considered the BMI (Body Mass   
   Index) of the Obese children and their patients across six   
   countries including UK, USA, China, Indonesia, Spain and Mexico,   
   thereby covering all the key geographies of the world.   
      
   Professor Peter Dolton, the lead author of the study says the   
   pattern of results is remarkably consistent across all the   
   countries after analysing the data of over 100,000 sample spread   
   across the two highest obese nations (US and UK) and the two   
   least obese nations i.e. China and Indonesia.   
      
   In his research, Dolton noted that the study gives an important   
   and rare insight into how obesity is transmitted across   
   generations in both developed and developing countries and also   
   indicated that the process of intergenerational transmission is   
   the same across all the different countries.   
      
   Commenting on this research, leading obesity surgeon Dr M.G.   
   Bhat from Apollo Spectra and Manipal Hospitals in Bangalore   
   said, “in many of my patients, I have observed that they also   
   have obese children pointing out to family factors and genetic   
   inheritance.”   
      
   So there's a fat gene, but there ain't no GAY GENE!
