Popis: There is a lack of knowledge regarding the effect of polymorphisms of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) gene on the age of obesity onset. Hence, 3 polymorphisms of the PGC-1α gene (PGC-1α rs17574213, rs8192678, and rs3755863) were examined in association with obesity onset age. Also, obesity onset age-related metabolic status and body composition were evaluated. This cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 321 obese participants. Anthropometric and biochemical information, body composition, and PGC-1α gene sequences were analyzed. The rs17574213 polymorphism was associated with obesity onset in children aged
