Two studies find that those who are obese as children may have a higher risk of anxiety, depression and even early death as adults. FMTNews FMTLifestyle Obesity Childhood
Children who are obese may have a higher risk of anxiety and depression, according to new research.
From the group, 7,049 received obesity treatment at some point during their childhood or adolescence, while the other 34,310 participants acted as controls. “Our study shows that children with obesity have a significantly higher risk of premature mortality already as young adults,” says Emilia Hagman, one of the study’s authors.
In the second study, which was published in BMC Medicine, the same team of researchers looked at 12,507 children between the ages of six and 17 who were treated for obesity, and compared them with a group of 60,063 children from the general population who acted as controls. The researchers say the findings highlight some of the health risks associated with childhood obesity and the need to prevent obesity in children and support those who are obese.
