Obesity Prediction Program

Know Your Obesity Risk: Personalized Insights

Obesity is a complex issue with both genetic and environmental factors at play. Fortuna Helix has developed a prediction program designed to help you understand your own risk of developing obesity through advancements in genetics.

Our Obesity Prediction Program uses genetic information to identify factors that may influence weight management. This can unlock valuable insights and help you develop a personalized approach to health. 

How It Works

Who Can Benefit

  • Genetic Risk Score (PRS) Calculation: We analyze your DNA to calculate your personalized PRS for obesity.
  • Risk Group Classification: Your PRS is then compared to a large reference population, placing you into a specific risk group (High, Intermediate-High, Intermediate, Intermediate-Low, or Low).
  • Individuals concerned about weight: If you’re overweight or have a family history of obesity, this program can help you understand your genetic predisposition.
  • Individuals uncertain about cause of obesity: Already obese and wondering if it the cause is genetic or environmental? Our analysis can provide valuable insights.

Actionable Insights

How Unveiling Genetic Predisposition Helps Health

The PRS information empowers you to take a proactive approach to your health by providing valuable insights and motivating you to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Remember, genetics are just one factor in obesity. A healthy lifestyle can still significantly reduce your risk, even if you have a higher genetic predisposition.

Information is Key

Changing your lifestyle

  • Increased Awareness: You’re understanding of your genetic predisposition can help prioritize healthy habits.
  • Personalized Action Plan: Knowing your risk group allows you to tailor your approach to weight management.
  • Motivation and Focus: Understanding the potential consequences and seeing the prevalence of your risk group can highlight the importance of preventative measures.
  • Targeted Strategies: The report can help clarify the role of genetics. If your risk is primarily genetic, you might benefit from seeking additional support or exploring weight loss programs designed for those with a higher genetic predisposition.
  • Diet: You might be more mindful of portion control, choose healthier foods, and limit sugary drinks.
  • Exercise: You might become more active, aiming for regular exercise routines and incorporating physical activity into your daily life.
  • Preventative Measures: You might be more likely to prioritize sleep, manage stress, and get regular checkups to monitor your health.
  • Lifestyle Changes: You might be more open to adopting long-term healthy habits to manage your weight and overall well-being.
