Does the fatness of the daughter's body depend on the mother?

Recently, a hot topic spread on microblog: according to a survey conducted by a British organization, the fatness of a daughter is decided by her mother. If her mother is obese, the chance of her daughter being obese will increase 10 times. After the topic appeared, it immediately attracted tens of thousands of netizens to discuss. Many netizens joked that they must first look at their mother-in-law when looking for a daughter-in-law.

Some people think that obesity is mainly caused by acquired environmental factors. However, experts say that the causes of obesity are very complex. From the perspective of genetics, the genes that affect obesity are inherited by both parents. It can not be concluded that the fatness of a daughter is determined only by the fatness of her mother.

Want to know what your girlfriend will be like in the future? Just look at your mother-in-law. Researchers from the University of London in the UK surveyed more than 4000 families and found that the longer a daughter grows, the more like a mother, especially in terms of body size. A few days ago, a netizen launched such a topic on Weibo, which immediately attracted the attention of many netizens and was listed on the list of hot topics on Weibo. In just a few days, it has attracted more than 3 million people to read and about 20000 people to participate in the discussion.

'I finally understand why I can't lose weight! "The reason why I've never lost weight & hellip; & hellip; in this case, I don't struggle any more. "Most netizens see the topic, have 'indignation' denounce 'mother adult, said finally found their own thin not down' reason '.

'it turns out that my mother is the greatest contributor to my obesity. "I have a beautiful mother, and I will have a beautiful daughter in the future. But there are also many netizens who take the opportunity to thank their slim mother for giving birth to a slim self.

In addition to these two views, there are two other types of netizens who are 'planning for themselves in advance': 'if you want to find a girlfriend in the future, you must see your mother-in-law first. Most of the male netizens care about their wives, while the female netizens care about their children: "well, the future child, the mother will try to keep fit for you. '

It's not scientific. Why did my mother grow up to be a "lightning bolt" and I'm a "fat paper"? Many people think that the online version is not credible, and 25-year-old Shuanger (pseudonym) is one of them.

Shuanger, a native of Wanzhou, works in the main city. She is 1.64 meters tall and weighs more than 120 Jin. She is a "sister paper" in the slightly fat world. 'I've been a little fat since I was a child, but my mother is not fat at all. Shuang'er said that her 47 year old mother, Ms. Du, is 1.6 meters tall and weighs only 104 Jin. "Every time I take a picture with her, I seem to be a bigger model than her.".

Why is her mother thin but her daughter fat? Shuanger says that she and her mother are similar in shape. "As long as we get fat, we both grow meat first in our legs and stomachs.". Shuanger said that her mother is 20 jin thinner than her because she has a good way to lose weight. 'she has more self-control than me. She often exercises, goes on a diet and so on, so she keeps fit. "Speaking of this, shuang'er is helpless." every time I go out for a snack with my friends at night, she will educate me, but when she wants to have a snack, she will take me to the sea. The key is that she only takes a few bites, but I have to eat a lot & hellip; "

In fact, most people's fatness is determined by the day after tomorrow. 'shuanger doesn't agree with the online rumor that her mother decides whether she is fat or thin. She believes that everyone's physique may have genetic factors, but the living habits are self-developed, which are likely to affect their body.

Is there any scientific basis for this statement? The reporter interviewed Professor Zhu Yong, College of biotechnology, Southwest University. Professor Zhu said that from the genetic point of view, obesity has a certain heritability. But there are more than ten genes that affect obesity, and they are not on two sex chromosomes, but on autosomes, which are affected by the heredity of both parents. Therefore, it can not be said that the daughter's obesity is decided by her mother. In fact, the causes of obesity are very complex. In addition to the acquired environmental factors, as far as genes are concerned, changes in one of more than ten genes may cause obesity. '

Of course, in terms of probability, the probability that a mother is obese and her daughter is obese should be higher than that of a mother who is not obese. Professor Zhu speculated that the Internet version of "the daughter's obesity is decided by the mother" should be based on the study of probability comparison.

Professor Zhu said there was no need for netizens to say that they were trying to lose weight and keep fit for future generations. He said that no matter the mother or the father, through the acquired environment change, will not change the child's genetic. 'children born after weight loss have the same genetic genes as those born without weight loss. Genes are inherent and determined by their parents. The acquired status quo can't be passed on to their children. Professor Zhu suggests that in order for children to have a good figure, they should pay attention to the influence of the acquired environment, such as healthy diet, work and rest habits, so as to maintain a good figure and good health.

A few days ago, some netizens said that according to swami, a psychologist at Westminster University in the UK, a survey found that hunger for up to six hours can change a person's aesthetic feeling. In this situation, men prefer women with slightly fat breasts. In the same situation, women prefer slightly fat men. Because when people are hungry, they are more likely to find partners who can find food for them. In this respect, fat people are obviously more reliable.

'if you're fat, you can starve your partner. In response to this research, some netizens have offered advice to fat people. But believe it or not, that's your choice!
