AB The  prevalence  of  obesity  has  increased  dramatically  in  recent  decades.  Increased  body  habitus  correlates  with  enhanced  availability  of  low-cost,  high-calorie  foods.  A  mismatch  in  caloric  intake  and  energy  expenditure  leads  to  excess  body  fat  accumulation.  There  are,  however,  interindividual  differences  in  susceptibility  to  obesity  with  exposure  to  the  same  obesogenic  environment.  It  is  likely  that  this  variability  in  metabolism,  energy  storage,  or  neural  hormonal  components  affecting  behavior  has  genetic,  epigenetic,  or  genomic  components.
