Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Obesity is caused by an interaction of biological and psychosocial factors. While individual genetic factors may contribute, obesity is not typically caused by a single gene. Eating the same amount as thin people may not be a factor, as metabolism rates and individual nutrient needs can vary. While there may be similarities in factors contributing to obesity in humans and other mammals, this is not a definitive cause.
