With young adults tend to heavy spending and other date overweight.
While this study does not seem to naturally research shocking shows to encourage sub-finding-overweight in young adults is a social, trying to lose weight, weight, and a larger intention.
Study author, Dr. Tricia m. Leahey, assistant professor of Psychiatry and human behavior at Brown Medical School, said in support of the conclusions of previous research, which found their health behaviors, and the results of the "cluster" of social networks.
Research is included in the normal weight participants, 151 and 137 of the overweight or obese men and women. Participants completed a questionnaire about their weight, height, number of overweight and their social as well as social norms of obesity and obesity-related activities.
Previous research, Harvard Medical has found that a person's chance becoming obese increase 57% If your friend becomes obese, 40% if the sibling becomes obese, and 37% if the spouse becomes obese.
Despite this, and his group discovered Leahey,
Where overweight among young adults is more the weight of social contacts, will try to have the greater the intentions of the lost weight.
Why do those who were trying to say they are trying to lose the social loses itself? Social norms make Leahey says, such as the encouragement of others, and agree to make in respect of the account.
Researchers are not sure whether overweight people in the overweight, the other or whether normal weight people who become overweight people friends.
Leahey suggests that it is likely that, as the case may be. Overweight people tend to attract each other, but he also describes the phenomenon of social, sickness or contagion.
Is somewhat encouraging to know that people are in the competitive process for those with similar habits, but they are also friends and partners.
Leahey proposes that, for the prevention of overweight young adults and the other overweight peers who attempt to weight.
Do you think overweight social networks are a net positive effect on the weight loss efforts?
