Genetic factors associated with obesity risks in a Kazakhstani population

Abstract: ObjectivesThere is limited published literature on the genetic risks of chronic inflammatory related disease (eg, obesity and cardiovascular disease) among the Central Asia population. The aim is to determine potential genetic loci as risk factors for obesity for the Kazakhstani population.SettingKazakhstan.ParticipantsOne hundred and sixty-three Kazakhstani nationals (ethnic groups: both Russians and Kazakhs) were recruited for the cross-sectional study. Linear regression models, adjusted for confounding fact… Show more

“…In several studies it was observed that Egyptian and Tunisian studies showed no statistically significant results, and this is consistent with the current study 47,48 . Other research, contradicting the present study findings, in the Romanian and Kazakhs populations carriers with either genotype had the inverse effect, particularly being related to an increased obesity risk 28,49 . There is also another study in Poland that revealed no statistically significant results, therefore does not agree with the current study results 50 .…”

“…Interesting data is presented by the Swedish Pregnancy, Obesity and Pelvic floor (SWEPOP) project: with each unit exceeding the normal value of the body mass index (BMI), the risk of developing symptomatic POP increases by 3% [27]. Currently, obesity also is one of the main problems in our country [28]. In this study, all the patients were overweight as a risk factor for POP, which is consistent with the results of previous studies [29].…”
