Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does physical activity attenuate the body mass index-increasing influence of genetic variation in the FTO gene?
Answer: Our results showed that PA attenuates the effect of the FTO rs1121980 genotype on BMI and WC. This observation has important public health implications because we showed that a genetic susceptibility to obesity induced by FTO variation can be overcome, at least in part, by adopting a physically active lifestyle.
Output (English): yes
