Recent studies indicate that individuals in the top 10% of genetic risk for obesity (based on polygenic risk score) may have a BMI up to 5 units higher compared to low-risk individuals—especially in the context of limited physical activity¹. Additionally, people with a high genetic predisposition to depression are up to 5 times more likely to develop the condition if their body weight is unhealthy².
The GENOSOPHY® Genetic Test combines 201 genetic variants with its award-winning algorithm, ensuring high accuracy in estimating genetic susceptibility to obesity and its related outcomes.
The test is recommended for:
• Individuals struggling with weight management despite healthy diet and exercise habits
• People experiencing mood fluctuations or depression and seeking to explore the link between weight and mental health
• Individuals interested in a personalized approach to obesity medication selection
