The obese lack willpower; they overeat and underexercise - or so believe a
majority of Americans. A 2012 online poll of 1143 adults conducted by
Reuters and the market research firm Ipsos found that 61% of U.S. adults
believed that "personal choices about eating and exercise" were
responsible for the obesity epidemic.1 A majority of Americans, it seems,
remain unaware of or unconvinced by scientific research suggesting that
"personal choices" may not account for all cases of obesity.
.
Yet for more than a century, physicians have been proposing that some
cases of obesity are a function of innate biologic mechanisms or heredity.
In 1907, the German pathologist Carl von Noorden delineated two types of
obesity: exogenous and endogenous (1953; see Historical New England
Journal of Medicine Articles Cited). Exogenous obesity, which accounted
for most cases, was the consequence of external culprits - namely, food
consumption in excess of energy expenditure. But some people had
endogenous obesity, caused by hypometabolism or other thyroid disorders.
.
Some early-20th-century doctors bluntly dismissed the idea of endogenous
obesity. George Van Ness Dearborn, a neuropsychiatrist who had been on the
faculty at Harvard and Tufts, declared in 1917 that "the great and
culpable majority of the obese achieve their uncomplimentary fatness."2
Nonetheless, a survey of medical journal articles on obesity in the 1910s
and 1920s reveals that even physicians who might have shared Dearborn's
sentiments conceded that dietary excess and lack of exercise could not
account for all cases of overweight. And although the hypometabolic thesis
had fallen out of favor by 1930, when more accurate calculations of
body-surface area indicated that the metabolic rates of the obese were
normal, researchers in the second half of the 20th century continued to
make the case that some people were predisposed to obesity.
