An integrated model of obesity pathogenesis that revisits causal direction
Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial › Research › peer-review
Weight gain indicates a positive energy balance, with calorie intake exceeding expenditure. However, this fact of physics cannot inform causality. Potential pathways to obesity include a positive energy balance that drives weight gain or weight gain that drives the positive energy balance. Here, we propose an integrated model of obesity pathogenesis that incorporates both pathways.
