Intensive growth leads to obesity

Intensive growth in childhood influences risk for obesity later in life, according to scientists from the University of Glasgow. The researchers argue that the rapid growth in childhood leads to an increase in metabolic rate in adult life by more than 20% compared to those with moderate growth at this age. For the first time scientists are able, the relationship between the rate of growth during childhood and adolescence, and metabolic rate in the future have to recognize. According to Professor Neil Metcalfe, improved eating habits during adolescence leads to changes at the level of metabolism, which accelerates the growth, and in the future, when a person stops growing, manifested in the form of weight gain. According to scientists from the study of the relationship most clearly accelerated metabolism, high rates of growth and later obesity. Experts point out that the emergence of a variety of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases in adulthood are closely related to the early years of our lives.
