If the mother is obese, so will the daughter

Nowadays, obesity is common in the world. In countries like America,
thousands of people are coming to hospitals for obesity treatment. Obesity
causes diabetes, high BP and heart diseases. But the findings published in
the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism are interesting.
Research has shown that if women are obese, their daughters are also
becoming obese. But sons are not getting obesity. About 20 percent of
children in a country like America are obese. All of this turned out to be
from their mothers, says Rebaka Jay Mann, a medical expert at the MRC Life
Course Epidemiology Center at the University of Southampton. When the fatty
status of obese mothers was assessed, the same fat content was seen in
their daughters, he said. But they said that they have to do more extensive
research as to why there is no such thing when sons are born. When these
researchers looked at nearly 240 infants, they found that obesity came from
their mothers. While overweight problems are transmitted from mothers to
daughters, at the same time there is not much similarity between mothers
and sons. Another important point is that neither fathers nor their
daughters or sons have similar hereditary conditions in obesity.
