Marriage triples obesity risk for men in Poland
scmp.com —
New research indicates that marriage significantly increases obesity risk for men, tripling their likelihood of being obese. In contrast, no similar link was found for women. The study, conducted in Poland, shows that marriage raises the risk of being overweight by 62% for men and 39% for women. The findings will be presented at the European Congress on Obesity in May. Researchers suggest cultural attitudes towards obesity may explain the differences between men and women.
