Role of Heredity and Lifestyle in Perspectives of Obesity among Male Adolescents Aged 14-16 Years

    The study aims to evaluate the relationship of obesity to lifestyle and heredity, focusing the adolescent male school students aged 14–16 in Abbott Abad city.

The Bivariate Analysis of Variance revealed a positive correlation between heredity and the prevalence of obesity (p = 0.05) and (r = 0.488). The analysis also revealed a positive correlation between lifestyle and the prevalence of obesity (p = 0.05) and (r = 0.510). Pearson Correlation analysis revealed (p = 0.05) and (r = 0.568) positive and significant associations between heredity, lifestyle, and obesity.
