High Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Intake Attenuates the Genetic Risk of Higher Waist Circumference in a Sri Lankan Adult Population
This study provides novel insights to understand gene-diet interactions affecting metabolic traits in Sri Lankans. The findings suggest that higher PUFA intake may mitigate genetic susceptibility to central obesity, highlighting the importance of personalized dietary recommendations for metabolic disease prevention. Further studies in larger cohorts are warranted to confirm this finding.
