Effect of Genetic Factors on Nutrition

Food preferences vary from person to person (From adults to children). Children’s food preferences play an important role in their establishment. The transitional change from children to adolescent is known by the independence but the relative influence of genetic material and food preferences in the early adolescents’ remains unknown.

The dietary patterns varies from individual to individual varies and the relative of these changed in context with the genetic relationship is yet to be proven. Genetic variability can be reflected in various forms like absorption, metabolism, and excretion.



Inborn differences in the activity of enzymes and other functional proteins determine the biochemical and metabolic factors. Genetic variations can also affect the likes and dislikes for the food in childhood, like inability to taste the artificial sweeteners etc. The contribution of food preferences alter with the environmental and genetic variations in older adolescents. There are no clear factors to determine the genetic factors on the consumption of total calories, fats or carbohydrates consumed


Genetic factors play a role in the occurrence of Obesity. About 100’s of genes have been identified which reflect the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the body. Unlike the functioning of these genes as biological mechanisms is still unknown. The relation between genetic factors and nutrition can shed the way for the genes linked to BMI  to play its role in Nutrition.
Discuss more about the Genetic relation between Nutrition and Gene factors at our 2nd International Conference on Nutrition, Food Science and Technology
