Objectives: The β3-adrenergic receptor () gene polymorphism has been implicated in obesity. Therefore, the contribution of Trp64Arg polymorphism to obesity-related indicators was investigated, taking into account the lifestyle-related factors in a Japanese rural population.
Methods: A total of 600 Japanese adults aged ≥40 years in a population-based cohort study were analyzed. The polymorphism was determined using peripheral blood samples. Associations between genotype and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and body fat (BF) percentage were examined, adjusting for lifestyle-related factors, including daily nutrient intake.
Results: The frequency of Arg64 allele carriers was 36%. There was no significant difference in BMI, WC, or BF between the groups with or without the Trp64Arg polymorphism. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the Trp64Arg polymorphism was not associated with these three indicators, but lifestyle factors including physical inactivity, higher energy and sodium consumption, and less animal protein intake were significantly related to increased WC and BF percentages.
Conclusions: The Trp64Arg polymorphism of gene did not contribute to increased BMI, WC, or BF. However, lifestyle-related factors impacted these indicators in middle-aged and older Japanese individuals living in rural areas.

Background: The Arg64 allele of the rs4994 (Trp64Arg) variant in the β3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) gene is involved in the control of energy balance by altering lipolysis and thermogenesis in adipocytes, ultimately contributing to the development of obesity. The objective of our study was to investigate the association between the rs4994 variant of the ADRB3 gene and obesity in Hanoi preschool-age children, adjusting for their eating behaviors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed involving 708 children with normal weight and 304 children with obesity aged 3-5 years from 36 kindergartens in Hanoi, Vietnam.

The gene plays a role in energy expenditure by participating in lipolysis, which affects body composition and performance. The rs4994 polymorphism has been studied in groups of athletes, overweight individuals, and obese and diabetic patients, but it has not been studied in young and healthy adults so far. In the present study, we examined the association of rs4994 polymorphism with body composition, somatotype, cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity in young, healthy adults ( = 304).

Recently, we have observed two significant pandemics caused by communicable (COVID-19) and non-communicable factors (obesity). Obesity is related to a specific genetic background and characterized by immunogenetic features, such as low-grade systemic inflammation. The specific genetic variants include the presence of polymorphism of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors gene (; Pro12Ala, rs1801282, and C1431T, rs3856806 polymorphisms), β-adrenergic receptor gene (; Trp64Arg, rs4994), and Family With Sequence Similarity 13 Member A gene (; rs1903003, rs7671167, rs2869967).

Some studies have been carried out to investigate the association between Trp64Arg polymorphism in beta-3 adrenergic receptor gene () and susceptibility to overactive bladder (OAB), but the results remain inconsistent. We carried out a meta-analysis to acquire a more accurate estimation. All eligible studies were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library.
