Brief Summary:
The prevalence of obesity in the United States has reached alarming proportions with 33 of adults over the age of 20 being overweight Obesity is more than twice as prevalent however in the Pima Indians of Arizona Although there have been a number of advances in our understanding of the genetics of obesity the environmental influences on the genetic expression of obesity requires further investigation
In an effort to understand some of the influences on the high prevalence of obesity in the Pima Indians the present study was designed to investigate eating behaviors and food preferences most especially the preference for high fat foods in sib-pairs of Pima Indians who have been previously genotyped in our genomic scan for loci linked to diabetesobesity Most specifically we will utilize several questionnaires and methods of assessing eating behavior and the preference for high fat foods to create a food intake phenotype In addition we will study Caucasians so that comparisons can be made between these two groups We will make these evaluations by assessing eating behavior food preferences including usual fat intake and preferences for high fat foods body image perceptions and energy expenditure It is hoped that the data gathered from this study will elucidate some of the risk factors for the development of obesity among the Pima Indians

Detailed Description:
The prevalence of obesity in the United States has reached alarming proportions with 33 of adults over the age of 20 being overweight In some populations obesity is even more prevalent Although there have been a number of advances in our understanding of the genetics of obesity the environmental influences on the genetic expression of obesity requires further investigation
In an effort to understand some of the influences on the high prevalence of obesity the present study was designed to investigate what drives how much people eat More specifically we will try to understand what drives food intake utilizing 1 questionnaires that assess eating behavior 2 measurements in blood urine or fat tissue and 3 genotypic associations to investigate the various factors that control what and how much people eat We will make these evaluations by assessing eating behavior food preferences including usual fat intake and preferences for high fat foods body image perceptions and energy expenditure It is hoped that the data gathered from this study will elucidate some of the risk factors for the development of obesity
