Abstract
Obesity-related morbidity and mortality are related to fat accumulation and fat distribution in humans. Two large-scale meta-analyses recently published in Nature by Shungin et al. (2015) and Locke et al. (2015) report novel genetic associations for central and overall obesity; these greatly advance our understanding of the biology of obesity.
