Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

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.
