Although obesity can lower a person's feeling confident, in fact a lot of people who seem more fertile weighted happy than thin people. The scientists managed to uncover the secret.
According to the research team from McMaster University in Canada, the fat people fat FTO gene are found gene alias happy. FTO is a major gene that contributes to obesity. However, this gene was also associated with a lower risk of depression.
At first the team from Canada was to examine the genetic and psychiatric status of the patients who entered the study EpiDREAM. In this study analyzed DNA samples from 17,200 participants in 21 countries.
The analysis showed that those who have the FTO gene tend to be more rare depression. Decreased risk of depression in people who have the gene about 8 percent.
"It's a difference of 8 percent will not have much effect on daily activities of patients, but we found the new molecule associated with depression," said Professor David Meyre.
Studies conducted Meyre is the first study that links between obesity gene FTO with protection against depression.
