📢 Just read a landmark study in Nature Medicine—over 5 million participants across ancestries! 🧬
The new multi-ancestry polygenic risk score (PRS-CSx) predicts BMI & obesity from early life to adulthood 🌍👶📈.
Strong implications for personalized prevention, though disparities persist in African ancestry populations ⚖️.
Precision meets public health—time to rethink obesity prediction.
