Contribution of Parental Obesity to Offspring Future Risk of Obesity
Risk of obesity in adult life (21–29 years) if one parent (blue), both parents (red), or the individuals themselves (green) were obese during the individuals’ childhood or adolescence. Adult obesity was defined as BMI ≥ 27.8 kg/m2. Data were derived from Whitaker et al. (1997). Figure adapted from Loos (2012).

3. Figure 2 Ability of Genetic Variants to Predict Obesity
Area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for the 32 BMI-associated loci to predict obesity in 8,120 individuals from the ARIC study (Speliotes et al., 2010). Colored dots represent sensitivity and 1−specificity for parental obesity as a predictor of the offsprings’ future obesity risk. The color of the dots corresponds to the offspring’s age at which parental obesity is used as a predictor. Values of sensitivity and 1−specificity, and corresponding PPV and NPV, are shown as well. Data derived from Whitaker et al. (1997). Figure adapted and updated from Loos (2012).
