Illicited Girls Risked by Depression

Compared with healthy girls, overweight girls are 44 percent more likely to be depressed or diagnosed with it in the future.

The smallest studies involved in the analysis were not controlled to prove whether or how it could cause depression or for the role that gender can play, Reuters writes.

But according to the leading author of this research, Shailen Sutaria, it is possible for boys and girls to have different perceptions about body image.

“Texa number of factors can be included, clearly there are other social pressures for girls: they should have a certain form of body “, Sutria said.

The World Health Organization reports that more than 40 million children have been overweight or fat since they were five years old.
