Men who were fat adolescents begin to die at a higher-than-usual rate by age 45. When they reach their 70s, their risk of death is twice that of those who were normal size as teen agers. Women suffer a variety of addi tional health problems if they were overweight as youngsters. But at least into their 70s, they appear to live just as long as those who were thinner teen-age girls. Many studies have shown that being obese during adulthood is unhealthy. But until now, there has been little clear evidence that being overly chubby as a teen ager also spells trouble later on. The new study found that over weight adolescents often have poor health later in life, regardless of whether they became over weight adults. "It says there is something criti cal about adolescence that increas es the likelihood that obesity will be associated with consequences independent of adult weight," said Dr. William H. Dietz of New England Medical Center, a co-au thor of the study. The study, directed by Dr. Aviva Must of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Re search Center in Boston, was pub lished in Thursday's New Eng land Journal of Medicine. (t was based on a follow-up of 503 youngsters who participated in the Harvard Growth Study, conducted on school children in Boston's suburbs between 1922 and 1935. i Do You Know If You Have Asthma??
