If one identical twin were to undergo bariatric surgery (a significant weight loss intervention), how would that affect the other twin? What happens in one twin automatically affects the other twin Surgery in one twin can have a medium effect on the other twin and their adiposity What happens post-surgery with one twin does not affect the other twin's adiposity

In order to investigate treatments for morbid obesity, obese subjects satisfying fairly strict requirements were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) gastric bypass surgery, (2) participation in a diet and exercise program, or (3) both gastric bypass surgery and participation in the diet and exercise program. Researchers carefully observed the amount of weight lost five years after the study began. This study has 4 factors 3 treatments 2 treatments none are correct

Studies of genetic influence on obesity showed that : Family food habits prevail over genetics Occurrence of the trait in adoptive parents is greater than in adopted kids Incidence of the disease in the biological relatives is higher than in the adoptive relatives Geographic variation is paramount Discordant twins are alike brother born a year apart What statement about obesity is most correct? In most cases, the obesity is genetically inherited from parents Obese children are the results of assortative mating in human populations Being diagnosed with monogenic obesity syndrome gives patient certain advantage in managing its symptoms There is more than one kind of obesity
