Majority Of American Children Will Be Obese By 35

  • 6 years ago
30 (UPI) -- More than half of American children will be obese by the age of 35 if current trends continue, according to a study released Wednesday. Researchers from the Harvard T.H. The study, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, is based on "a sophisticated statistical analysis technique that relies on certain assumptions, and those assumptions can be challenged," Stephen Daniels, chairman of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, told USA Today. Daniels, who was not involved in the study, said major lifestyle changes will be needed to detour the current trends.
