Nutrition and lifestyle hold the key to overcoming obesity risk
Obesity is a growing concern in India, linked to a rising burden of diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. Yet, recent research by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research–Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CSIR-CCMB), Hyderabad, reveals that the genetic patterns associated with obesity in Europeans do not necessarily translate to Indians. The findings emphasize that lifestyle choices and targeted nutrition might be more effective than genetics-based interventions for Indian populations. Indians tend to exhibit more central or abdominal obesity—excess fat around the waist—even at lower body mass index (BMI) levels than Europeans. This pattern is more strongly linked to metabolic risks such as insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. The research shows that polygenic risk scores (PRS), which use genetic data to predict obesity risk, work more accurately in people of European ancestry but are less predictive for those of South Asian ancestry, including Indians. This difference suggests that environmental and lifestyle factors play a greater role in influencing obesity in Indians. The role of lifestyle in weight management The study tracked individuals with varying glucose levels for nearly two decades, allowing researchers to observe how lifestyle interventions affect people with a high genetic risk of obesity. Interestingly, individuals genetically predisposed to obesity initially responded well to lifestyle modifications such as structured exercise and dietary changes. However, once these interventions stopped, weight regain occurred more rapidly than in people with lower genetic risk. This underlines an important point: while genetics may influence how easily one gains or loses weight, sustainable lifestyle habits are critical to long-term success. Nutrition: The first line of defense For Indians, where diets are often rich in refined carbohydrates and low in protein, dietary improvements can significantly alter obesity outcomes. Experts suggest focusing on nutrient-dense whole foods, increasing dietary fiber, and moderating simple carbohydrate intake. Traditional Indian diets already include pulses, vegetables, and spices with known metabolic benefits, but the growing popularity of processed foods and sugary drinks has shifted nutritional patterns in recent years. Adopting balanced meal plans that emphasize seasonal produce, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help counteract genetic nutrient supplementation may also prove beneficial. For example, deficiencies in vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids are prevalent in India and have been linked to metabolic disorders and weight gain. Addressing such deficiencies through diet or supplements can support metabolic health and weight management, especially for individuals at high genetic risk. Exercise and physical activity While nutrition forms the foundation, physical activity determines how effectively calories are utilized and stored. Regular aerobic exercise, resistance training, and even moderate-intensity daily activities like walking or cycling can improve insulin sensitivity and prevent fat accumulation around the abdomen. For genetically susceptible individuals, incorporating consistent physical activity into daily life is more effective than temporary workout plans that are abandoned after initial weight loss. Early interventions for lasting impact One of the most powerful findings of the global research effort, which included Indian genetic data, was the ability to predict future obesity risk in children as young as five years old. Early detection means lifestyle and nutritional interventions can start sooner, preventing excessive weight gain before it becomes a chronic issue. For children at risk, promoting outdoor play, limiting screen time, encouraging balanced diets, and educating families about healthy cooking can create lifelong healthy habits. A holistic approach The takeaway from the CSIR-CCMB study is clear: while genetics provides part of the picture, it is lifestyle and nutrition that ultimately determine outcomes. For Indians, whose genetic predisposition differs from Europeans, tailored lifestyle solutions—like nutrient-specific supplementation, diet quality improvement, and long-term fitness habits—may yield better results than relying solely on genetic predictions. As Dr. Giriraj Ratan Chandak of CSIR-CCMB notes, 'Lifestyle, diet, and nutrition might play an equal or even greater role than genetics in predicting obesity in Indians.' For individuals and healthcare policymakers alike, the focus should be on creating environments and programs that encourage sustainable nutrition and active lifestyles, rather than treating obesity as an unavoidable genetic destiny.

Genetic Risk Of Obesity In Indians Differs From Europeans: Study Reveals Why Lifestyle Changes Work Better
Hyderabad: Lifestyle solutions or specific nutrient supplementation might yield better results for Indians with genetic risk of obesity, reveals a study. Many gene variants previously associated with obesity in Europeans do not affect Indians similarly, which resonates with a different pattern of obesity in Indians, according to the findings of the study by researchers at Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology under Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR-CCMB), Hyderabad. The study also revealed that Polygenic Risk Score (PSR) predicts obesity more accurately in people with European-like ancestry than in those with other ancestries, including Indians (South Asian ancestry) Researchers at CSIR-CCMB, led by Dr Giriraj Ratan Chandak, characterised the genomes of the Indian population. They included individuals with diabetes as well as those with normal blood glucose levels, who have been followed for nearly 20 years, providing a unique opportunity to investigate the genetic basis of obesity in Indians. Obesity is a grave problem in India and other parts of South Asia, given their incidences of diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. The pattern of obesity in India is notably different from that in Europe, with Indians tending to have more central (abdominal) obesity. Several obesity-associated genetic changes were identified and used to develop the PRS for Indians, effectively creating a 'virtual individual' to model obesity risk. This data from Indian samples has served as a representative for the South Asian population in the study. Through this data, the study's findings become more relevant for the Indian and South Asian populations. The scientists also examined the connection between a person's genetic risk of obesity and the impact of lifestyle weight loss interventions, such as diet and exercise. They discovered that individuals with a higher genetic risk of obesity responded better to interventions but also regained weight more quickly once the interventions ended. 'The observations made from this study are similar to the earlier results on height, where genetic variants identified in Europeans predicted lower risk in Indians, and environment-related modifications of genes play a larger role. It looks like lifestyle, diet and nutrition might be playing an equal or more important role in predicting obesity in Indians. So, for Indians, lifestyle solutions or specific nutrient supplementation in the background of genetic risk might yield better results,' said Dr Chandak. Earlier studies by Dr Chandak showed that the genetic basis of non-communicable diseases varies significantly between Indians and Europeans. The latest study by researchers at CSIR-CCMB is part of a global study. An international team of 600 researchers across 500 institutions drew on the largest and most diverse genetic dataset ever, including genetic data from the GIANT consortium and consumer DNA testing firm 23andMe. This provided access to genetic information from over 5 million people from different countries, including India. Using this data, the researchers developed a genetic test called PRS that predicts adulthood obesity in early childhood. This discovery could help identify children and adolescents already at higher genetic risk of developing obesity, who could benefit from targeted preventative strategies such as lifestyle interventions at a younger age. This score is twice as effective as the previous best test at predicting a person's risk of developing obesity. 'What makes the score so powerful is its ability to predict, around the age of five, whether a child is likely to develop obesity in adulthood, well before other risk factors start to shape their weight later in childhood. Intervening at this point can have a huge impact,' says Assistant Professor Roelof Smit from the NNF Centre for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) at the University of Copenhagen and lead author of the research that was published in the journal Nature Medicine.

50 CUSB scholars clear UGC NET
Patna: More than 50 scholars of Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) have cleared the UGC NET-JRF 2025 examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in June. The results of this examination were declared on Monday. CUSB's public relation officer Mohammad Mudassir Alam said that showing excellent performance in the UGC-JRF test, students from different departments have qualified for admission in three categories namely junior research fellowship (JRF), NET (assistant professor/lectureship) and PhD admission based on cut-off marks. The maximum number of students who have qualified for the test is from the political science department (12), followed by commerce (nine). The number of successful students from other departments includes environmental science (six), psychological studies (six), sociological studies (six), mass communication and media studies (four), teacher education (four), statistics (four) and law (two). Meanwhile, CUSB scholar Shivam Priyadarshi of the geography department has returned from Italy after attending the fourth summer school of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG). Shivam was one of the 30 participants selected worldwide through a competitive international process. During the programme, he received advanced training on geohazard assessment tools, numerical modelling techniques and the integration of geological and geotechnical data for hazard-prone regions. His participation aligns closely with his doctoral research on climate-induced disasters, particularly debris flows and GLOFs. "Field visits to the alpine regions and the hands-on sessions on remote sensing and modelling tools were especially valuable for my ongoing research," Shivam said.
