Popis: Obesity is associated with environmental factors; however, information about gene-environment interactions is lacking. We aimed to elucidate the effects of gene-environment interactions on obesity, specifically between genetic predisposition and various obesity-related lifestyle factors, using data from a population-based prospective cohort study. The genetic risk score (GRS) calculated from East Asian ancestry single-nucleotide polymorphisms was significantly associated with the body mass index (BMI) at baseline (P
