Women complain they are not thin enough, it turns out it is genetics

Every woman always feels that she should be thinner and wishes to have a good figure like a model or a Hollywood actress. However, there are also people who don’t care about their chubby appearance at all and still regard eating as the most important thing in life. In fact, according to The Telegraph, women's desire for a slim and figure is mainly due to their genetic combination.

The study by the University of Michigan in the United States targeted 300 female twins aged between 12 and 22, measuring how much they would like to have the body of movie actresses or magazine models. The researchers then conducted separate analyses based on identical twins and fraternal twins. Identical twins share 100% of the same genetic makeup, while fraternal twins only share 50%.

The results showed that identical twins had relatively consistent requirements for body shape, indicating a close genetic relationship. The study, published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders, found that 43 per cent of women had a "thin idealisation" of body shape.

Lead researcher Jessica Suisman of Michigan State University said that modern people are constantly stimulated by the outside world to lose weight every day, but only a part of women will actually lose weight as a result, which means that genes may make some women more susceptible to this kind of pressure.
