the claim

Most cases of obesity are caused by a slower resting metabolism.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 3 against

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

Is it true that most cases of obesity are caused by a slower resting metabolism?

Unclear. A Cleveland Clinic page states metabolism is rarely the sole cause of weight gain, and a clinical obesity textbook attributes most obesity to a small daily positive energy balance rather than a slower resting metabolism. No retrieved source directly measures resting metabolic rate as the cause of most obesity cases.
