The Claim
In Chinese Han women undergoing resistance training, the rs731236-AG genotype is associated with greater reductions in body weight, waist circumference, and hip circumference compared to individuals with the AA genotype, indicating a genotype-dependent effect on body composition adaptation.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Women of Chinese Han descent who do strength training and have a specific gene version (AG) tend to lose more weight and shrink their waist and hips more than those with another gene version (AA).

In Chinese Han women undergoing resistance training, the rs731236-AG genotype is associated with greater reductions in body weight, waist circumference, and hip circumference compared to AA carriers, indicating a genotype-dependent effect on body composition adaptation.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: VDR Gene Polymorphisms and Inter-Individual Variability in Response to Resistance Training.
The study found that Chinese Han women with a specific gene version (AG) lost more fat around the waist and hips after doing weight training than those with another version (AA), which matches what the claim says.
