Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the FTO gene polymorphism (specifically rs9939609) affects dietary habits and nutrient intake in women with obesity who are candidates for metabolic surgery.
- It involves 106 women, analyzing their macronutrient and vitamin intake through a food frequency questionnaire and Nutritional Quality Index (INQ) assessments.
- Results show that those with the A allele had higher energy and protein intake, while vitamin intake varied with age, highlighting the FTO gene's influence on nutritional quality and suggesting diminished effects as women age.
