The Interaction Between Body Mass Index Genetic Risk Score and Dietary Intake on Weight Status: A Systematic Review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: The escalating global obesity epidemic and the emergence of personalized medicine strategies point to the pressing need to investigate the interplay between genetic risk scores (GRSs), dietary intake, and their combined impact on weight status. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from diverse studies to elucidate how dietary patterns and individual foods interact with genetic predisposition to obesity. Methods: Literature searches were conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, and Scopus databases until August 2023, following PRISMA guidelines. Out of 575 articles, 15 articles examining the interaction between genetic risk score for body mass index and dietary intake on weight outcomes met the inclusion criteria. All included studies were cross-sectional in design and were assessed for quality using the Newcastle‒Ottawa Scale. Results: Unhealthy dietary intake exacerbated the genetic predisposition to obesity, evident in studies assessing Western diet, sulfur microbial diet, and individual macronutrients, including saturated fatty acids, sugar-sweetened beverages and fried foods. Conversely, adhering to healthier dietary intake mitigated the genetic predisposition to obesity, as observed in studies involving Alternative Healthy Eating Index, Alternative Mediterranean Diet, Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension scores, healthy plant-based diets, and specific foods such as fruits, vegetables, and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Conclusion: This is the first systematic review to explore the interaction between genetics and dietary intake in shaping obesity outcomes. The findings have implications for tailored interventions; however, more controlled clinical trials with robust designs are needed to be able to recommend personalized nutrition based on nutrition for obesity prevention and management.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
