Is it true that obesity increases the risk of developing gallstones in adults?
Yes. A large prospective UK Biobank cohort reports that multiple obesity indexes, including BMI and waist measures, are positively associated with increased gallstone risk in adults. Several other peer-reviewed sources describe obesity as an established or recognized risk factor for gallstone formation.
