The present invention relates to a method for determining a predisposition of a human subject for physiological susceptibilities that result from alterations in lipid metabolism, wherein the physiological susceptibilities are selected from sensitivity to functional food, physical health schemes, identification of non-responsiveness to treatment by diet or physical activity. The present invention further relates to a method for determining a predisposition of a human subject for physiological susceptibilities that result from alterations in lipid metabolism, wherein the physiological susceptibilities are selected from sensitivity to drug treatment or identification of non-responsiveness to treatment by medication. The methods of the present invention comprise determining, in a sample obtained from the human subject, the genotype of that person with respect to at least two genetic polymorphisms selected from the group consisting of a) rs2014355; b) rs11161510; c) rs2286963; d) rs174548; e) rs9393903; f) rs168622; g) rs541503; h) rs2046813; i) rs272889; j) rs2216405; k) rs7156144; l) rs8396; m) rs7094971; and n) rs603424; wherein the presence of one or two copies of the minor allele of at least two genetic polymorphisms is indicative of a predisposition for said physiological susceptibilities. The polymorphisms listed above are located in the following genes: SCAD, MCAD, LCAD, FADS1, ELOVL2, SPTLC3, PHGDH, ACSL1, OCTN1, CPS1, PLEKHH1, ETFDH, SLC16A9 and SCD.
