Teen obesity causes illness, study says
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Overweight teen
agers are more likely than their
thin friends to suffer such prob
lems as heart disease, colon can
cer, arthritis or gout by age 70, ac
cording to a study.
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.
