Scientists found different sets of genes related to body fat in men and women; men have 195 genes linked to body fat, women have 174, and only 38 genes are common to both groups.

The genes discovered explained about 3.35% of body fat differences in men and 2.60% in women.

Researchers discovered 7 new genes related to body fat in men and 10 new ones in women that weren't known before to affect body fat or related health issues.

25 gene variants across 4 locations had different effects on body fat in men versus women.

In men, most genes linked to body fat (68%) didn't affect cholesterol, triglycerides, diabetes, or heart disease risk.

In women, most genes linked to body fat (75%) didn't affect cholesterol, triglycerides, diabetes, or heart disease risk.
