Teen obesity


A study in the Journal of Pediatrics reports that many young people are resorting to weight-loss-surgery. Study suggests it’s becoming more popular among overweight teens. However, is this adult trend safe for them?

Many diseases that are associated with excess weight, i.e., diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, etc. are showing up with more regularity in young abusers.
Treating the problem while young may create a better awareness, and better monitoring of bad eating habits in young adults, that hopefully they'll carry along into maturity.
