Many Overweight Teens Think They're Thin
By WLC
Thirty percent of overweight teenagers actually think they are thin, or just about right, according to a new study from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
- Dr. Nicholas Edwards and colleagues reviewd data that had been collected on 65,000 U.S. high school students.
- Male teens were found to be twice as likely as female teens to incorrectly identify their weight status.
- African-American and Hispanic youth were found to be "significantly more likely to misperceive their weight" than were their Caucasian peers, according to a Feb. 9 UPI article.
"The number of overweight adolescents who misperceive their weights has held steady between 1999 and 2007," said Dr. Edwards said in a statement that accompanied the release of the repot.
The Cincinnati study was published on the website of the journal Pediatrics.
