Abstract

Childhood overweight often persisting into adulthood, a rising number of adults will be at increased risk of these conditions as well as of cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis and certain types of cancer. Obese children are at increased risk of discrimination, less likely to be married, less likely to have life satisfaction and achieve the future life aspirations of young women. This may be because girls are judged specifically on shape more than boys.
