Article Synopsis
- High BMI during adolescence is a strong predictor of obesity in adulthood, but the specific relationship isn't fully understood.
- The study analyzed data from 1,400 Finnish twins over several years to explore how adolescent BMI influences adult weight changes, emphasizing genetic factors.
- Results show that both genetic influences and adolescent BMI are associated with weight gain in adulthood, indicating that genetic predisposition in youth can lead to increased body weight later in life.
